at a steady rate. I strongly encourage you to translate some Latin
every day.
-
Make a schedule for how much you want to translate.
-
Write down how much time you spend working on this.

Start with your translation from the previous day.

Try to read it through in Latin rather than translating it into English.
-
Try to read it without referring to your translation or to the words you
looked up yesterday. Use these only when you must.
