This makes a lot of sense to me! I can't say I've exactly done the exercise that you've done, but I am definitely at a point now (after a few years of speaking) that it comes down to feeling. Yes, I've memorized (and since forgotten) the exact order a few times but the *feeling* of it is where fluency lies! -- Socialist Alternative <http://www.socialistalternative.org/> Klingon Language Institute <http://www.kli.org/> On Thu, Jun 30, 2016 at 11:58 AM, mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote:
I believe it was some months ago, I had talked about the problem of remembering the order of the verb suffixes.
Then I wrote, that I had the difficulty of remembering their order.
In order to solve this problem, I followed this method :
I memorized the suffixes of each type. And every day, I recited the entire order in mind. The important thing here, is while reciting the suffix list in your mind, to *feel* as you go from type 1 to type 9, some kind of "cascade".
I can't quite put it in words, but you must *feel* as if you're going "down a ladder" (or up a ladder), so as your mind to get the feeling of what comes first, what follows and what comes last.
After doing this for a few months, I can't say that always - while I write - the correct order of suffixes automatically appears in my mind, but the good thing is that even if I have to "actively" think for it, it takes just a couple of seconds.
For the time being, its the best solution I have been able to find for this problem.
