I think it's safe to say, it takes a little time, trial and error, to find which method works best for each individual. But in the meantime the journey is a great blessing :)
Yes, I had worked on most of them ... in the ESV. When the NASB was added here, that's when I re-set everything, and to start from scratch with the NASB (but I had also done a couple of re-sets before that also).
So, I decided, as a firm commitment, in October 2019 to just move forward with the NASB and do no more re-setting. (The NASB is my "most familiar" Bible version).
But Wv mentioned elsewhere that he sometimes works on verses even before adding them here. If I had done something like that, then that period of 16 months could have been somewhat shorter. That's what I've been doing lately ... using the "Practice" feature a lot.
thank you. If anyone is interested statistically speaking how it worked for me personally, I reset everything back in October 2019. So it took me about 16 months to reach 20 verses finished. Of course, that number will vary from person to person depending on a lot of factors.

Thanks for the guideline in terms of how the timing worked out for you. When you say that you reset everything does that mean you had worked on these verses prior to your reset?

Thank you for sharing that, mrsmoo. I've had that experience too, most definitely. Our Lord is gracious and forgiving to those who humble themselves before Him.
I also forgot to add, speaking them out loud as you practice or review them ... whether on index cards or the practice screen here or whereever ... helps to reinforce memory.
not sure if you have ever listened to Esther Mui- She has a YouTube channel and a Website- scripturesongsforworship.com Today she posted a new song.... Matthew 6:31 - 34. Thought of you and your verse set. She uses NKJV which sometimes messes me up because of the subtle words differences. Singing is such a great memory tool for me. I have even woken myself up while singing scripture in my sleep. :)
Hello mrsmoo. I just checked out Esther Mui's youtube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLWHNkhCKvijdq59bFq0bQw I recommend it! Thank you for sharing that tip, I will be listening to her in the future. Worship is an extremely important aspect of who we are as believers. God has loved us with a great love beyond imagination. His desire and His plan for us, is that we return that love to Him.
I listen to several of her songs every day.... and sing them often on my own. YES.... AMEN, worship and scripture is such a blessing. glad you enjoyed... on her website she also has songs sung in Hebrew which i am also learning. Usually brings tears to my eyes. So thankful.
