edit: fixed.
speak like it, though it may come in handy when reading serious texts.
If I read my notes I understand everything, its logic, and its purpose. It's just that
I am going through the same phase as when I was learning the main 12 cases.
Too much data for my head.

but yeah, the only way to get from knowing the logic to it coming fluently, is practice, practice, practice. repeat, repeat, repeat. exactly like in chess. simply 'knowing' something isn't enough, you need to repeat it until you get it into your pattern recognition. until you can't get it wrong.

hehe 🙂
I've been thinking of sending a letter to the government regarding this issue.
The title would be "Tiedän että asiat eivat muuttuu paremmiksi suremalla... mutta"
