Pushing past a plateau

Latin.  Better today.  Greg pushing me to do sight reading at a higher level of proficiency. He wants me to read the Latin, without aids, and translate it for him during our sessions. This will entail, he says, going over each sentence or verse at least four times until it becomes embedded.  He believes this will push me off my current plateau.

I’m excited about this.  It will make my translation pop, he says.  At some point.  There is, though, the inevitable regression in terms of time, since this will make each sentence take longer. How much longer I can’t tell yet because I haven’t practiced it.  It does mean I’m headed in the right direction.
