Dear Dave K,
This is personal, but I do not believe so much in hard rote
memorization. I believe in context, that is reading. As you go along,
taking Pali suttas next to English, it will come naturally.
I did not translate from English into Pali. In the end you remember
also the other way round, without all that effort and time. You
should also like Pali reading, not just see it as a hard exercise.
Nina.
