“ I *still* can't remember all of it “
I know very well how that feels!
I had my last Greek-Lessons are 40 years ago. Even then I was horrible bad in Greek. Probably my old Greek-Teacher would be very astonished (and happy) to see, that now I do Greek as a hobby.
I don’t use binders, but fiche-cards (a good advice of my professor at University, studying German language and Literature). Though they also don’t really improve my memory-capacities.
In the mean time I have learned, to accept, I will never be able, to read greek like I do Dutch, German, English. I don’t bother any more. I am happy translating with the help of all Grammars and Lexicons I can get and afford (I like looking things up in books). The translating process is slow and cumbersome. But hey, who bothers, it’s my hobby, not my profession and - a bonus of a hobby - I don’t have to pass exams!
