Common Kai first
Story and Kaiven pages may invite mythic or inner readings. Read the scene as Common Kai first: who is present, what happens, what changes, and what grammar carries the action.
- State the plain scene before symbolic meaning.
- Mark particles and clause order before register notes.
- Treat inner reading as commentary, not as the basic translation.
spaced review
grammar return practice
Start here before the new lesson work. These earlier patterns are deliberately returning in a later lesson.

Use the pattern in a short dialogue, paragraph, translation, or project answer without looking back.
