RECOMMENDED LESSON PLAN

I found that learning one category per day was a reasonable pace. I recommend the following daily routine:

Review all of the words you know (English to Zese shuffled x1)
Learn a new category (both sides in order x?)
Practice the new category (Zese to English in order x3)
Practice the new category again (English to Zese in order x3)
Practice the new category once more (English to Zese shuffled x5)
Review all of the words you know again (English to Zese shuffled x2)

Feel free to adjust the lesson plan to your personal preferences.
