I have an easier solution- read the text through! Oh, it'll be hard at
first, but just reading, looking up the words you dont know, and having to
consider parts of speech etc will keep it all fresh.
As I tell students all the time- are you gonna take such a course (as
Greek), put hours of work into it, and then put it down never to use it
again? Thats crazy!
So just read. Take your text to church and follow along as its read aloud.
(It doesnt matter which English translation is used, they all help). Take
it with you to the park. Take it to the movies (but for heaven's sake, dont
spill anything on it). Always have it by your side so when you have a spare
moment you can read.
By the time you take the class in a year, you will know a lot!!!!!

You are welcome in advance.
p.s.- throw away any interlinear you have- it will only cripple you in the
long run.
