Well, I am hardly one of the "great, knowledgeable ones", but let me see
if anything I have to say is of any help.
Yes, practice is the *best* way to learn. This is why we have the
KLBC... and it ISN'T just for beginners, you know! It's just that most
of the more advance users are too busy debating fine points of grammar to
send anything there... unfortunately. (and yes, I am just as much to
blam in this, as I haven't sent anything in there since *I* was the
Beginner's Grammarian...)
One thing I like to recommend is just to memorize the suffixes. This
makes translation easier. Once you do that... yIqeq!!!
Try to translate everything you can off the list... and of course, post
in Hol...
