Salvete amici!
I would like to expand my vocabulary in Latin, but it is hard for me to memorize random words using flashcards. Right now, I am going through LLPSI and trying to naturally read it. However, it can be frustrating sometimes when the same word I don't understand pops up over and over again. While I have learned some words through the "Natural Way," it is also difficult for me to reproduce Latin words from their English definitions. Are there any techniques I can utilize to increase my retention of these words? Should I be paying closer attention to certain aspects of the text? Right now, I am just reading the Latin out loud word-by-word.
