I found the writing challenges to be very difficult, especially after the beginning levels -- having no hints as far as the vocab was concerned made it almost impossible to come up with a correct sentence. Much of the vocab was new to me (perhaps some of the vocab showed up in grammar explanations that I skipped) when I saw the correct translations. Although I've done really well on grammar (almost 100% on all levels), I found the writing exercises very discouraging. Any suggestions on how I can improve?
