Intermediate / self-assessment

Story Kai checklist

Use this page after the final lesson, before moving to the next course, or after a spaced-review cycle. Check only what you can do without copying from notes.

learner boundary

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.
