Thats ok- I mean its ok if you have to look up every other word. Thats how
you learn. If you keep it up, pretty soon you wont have to look em up cuse
you will know them. Did anyone, by the way, get a set of vocabulary flash
cards when they were born and began the process of lerning their mother
tongue? I dont think so. Instead, we learned words because we heard them
over and over. the reason, frankly, that many leanr Greek or Hebrew and
then fail to use it once out of school is because they learn it the wrong
way- and thus not at all.
