kinda forgot what exam board im doing it might be wjec but i get you about how long and boring it is 😭 literally making me regret taking latin but i love the grammar and actual language learning sm bro

i mean if its with the poems and stuff then read through annotations and keep practicing different style questions (ig maybe how you would try revise for english?) and literally just memorising the notes and stuff (even its complete yap bc i dont understand half of my notes either)

struggling too bro so if you have any tips as well i would be veeeery grateful lmao

Tbh ive just been memorising the entire poems and annotations to the point where I can recite the whole thing. I suppose another good way is to memorise the word order - keep going bro ur doing great and the language is fun to translate

For tenses and vocabularies in Latin, here are some tips they helped me to remember:

1.) make a table with all tenses both active and passive voice and nubers (first person, second person, third person, singular and plural). Hang these tables up in your room to see them every time!


2.) use flash cards for vocabularies and try to write at least simple and short sentences to give you a clue for the meaning of the word.
