Ancient Greek
In Ancient Greek, the alphabet, declensions, verbs and vocabulary are what you can memorise. Lumi asks them back, while translating takes a lot of practice.
How to turn this subject into cards
Make one note per declension, verb tense and vocabulary list, writing down the accents and breathings you must know. Lumi quizzes endings, irregular forms and common words. The typical trap is knowing the alphabet without recognising the words in a text. After each list, read a short passage and look for the forms you learnt. Retesting words you already know has a stronger effect than restudying them (Karpicke and Roediger, 2008).
