Latin: Audio-Lingual Shadowing
Read Latin texts out loud. Use the Restored Classical Pronunciation, where 'v' sounds like 'w' (uideo → 'wideo') and 'c' is always hard like 'k' (Cicero → 'Kikero'). Vocalizing recruits the motor and auditory systems as extra memory channels, and forces you to actually process every ending instead of letting your eyes slide over them.
The big idea
A word you have spoken is stored in more of your brain than a word you have seen.
Think about it
Read today's LLPSI passage aloud twice. Which endings did your mouth stumble on? Those are the ones your eyes were skipping.
