Ch. 9 Supplements
Requirements
- The Qal Qatal paradigms of קטל and בּנה must be memorized. You should be able to reproduce the paradigms in their entirety.
Others
- Steps to put the paradigms into long memory:
- Study the paradigm visually, noticing the patterns
- Practice saying the paradigm out loud with the video lecture while looking at the paradigm until you can say it fluently aloud from memory with or without the English meaning.
- Practice with the paradigm sheet:
- Write the paradigm without looking at the answer.
- Check your work after each form, correcting any mistakes.
- Study the forms you got wrong, and then try again
- When you write the entire paradigm correctly once, you’re done with the paradigm for that day.
- Every day, write the paradigm over and over until you get it entirely correct once.
- The first day will take a long time, but after a few days, you should be getting it by the second try.
- When you get the paradigm correct the first time several days in a row, switch to every other day, then to twice a week, etc., until it is in long-term memory.
- Be sure that you can write any requested form without writing out the whole paradigm.
- You may download the Qal Qatal Strong and III-Hey verb Paradigms Practice Sheet for practice.
