Translation of an Attic Greek prose text into Spanish & Morphological analysis of forms from the translated text
Translate 4 short Attic prose passages (8-12 lines each) at exam pace without dictionary for the first pass, then verify with lexicon
Build a personal verb-form log recording person, number, tense, voice, mood and lemma for every finite and non-finite verb in those passages
Drill the present, imperfect and future indicative active and middle paradigms of λύω, παιδεύω and ποιέω until recall is under 5 seconds per form
Annotate in the margin the case and function of every article-noun group you translate, to link morphology to syntax from day one
