well done! Can you speak for a bit on how your memorization of Revelation is going? What's your end goal, and how far have you gotten in reaching it?

I decided a while ago that your advice about memorizing Revelation was well placed, and I'm in the process of combining it with what I'm doing with Luke. Luke will continue to be my main focus, Revelation the second.

I'll be interested to hear about your own approach to Revelation, with respect to memorizing it. Are you memorizing all of it, or rather, selected portions?

Hi Joosep,
Thanks for the questions, brother.
I'm learning the whole thing, with the end goal of being able to quote any verse at any time.
I'm trying to burn it "into my hard drive" so it lasts in my mind long term.
To do this, I learn chunks of 4-8 verses and keep resetting them daily.
When I can do a whole chapter at nearly 100% accuracy, I move on to the next one (that usually takes a 2-3 weeks for each chapter).
I started around the middle of last year, and it seems I will finish around the middle of this year which is slower than I expected.
However, I am surprised at how well my memory has retained early chapters.
Still, I have much work to do on it, as using the website is like having on a set of training wheels.
Practising quoting without any assistance from the website will be my next project.

I find this website to be better than any other system because it's fun and enjoyable,
and the way it's designed allows me to test recall of each word in sequence, which is a key part of the memorization process.

When learning a new block of 4-8 verses, I will read each verse several times, and then hit the "next" button 9 times to get all the word boxes blank. Then I try to fill them out with >85% accuracy. I can usually get that, but might need to use the hint button.
I mostly give each verse only one try per day so as to avoid boredom.
And I allow myself to use the hint button to avoid frustration!
Inevitably with each passing day, by reviewing the same verses, recall is always better than before.
Stitching blocks of verses together to make a full chapter also takes time, which is why it takes about 3 weeks to learn a chapter.

thanks for that feedback :)

Saintman, do you type the full verse, or do you use the first letter method?

First letter. That's one of the best features of the site IMO.

Yes, I also use it :)
