}1 - I spent years learning grammar. I can decipher and construct most

}3 - I made about 50 flash cards - I used the 48 words Qov provided earlier,
}plus 2 very important ones, <qa'vIn> and <nIm>. (If I were to go to the
}qep'a', those would be the two most spoken words out of my mouth. I'd say
}"sugar" though since <HaQchor jIparHa'qu'>!) To my surprise, I got through
}most of them the first time! (Oh, can someone recommend "cream"? NOT
}"half-and-half", please...)

}The result? This whole message was typed out of my head, except for
}<HaQchor>, and I read the above sentences as well except for <qo'> and
}<ghuH>. I will now make flash cards for these three words.
