Day 1: Introduction
Today’s lesson is an introduction to our course and to the methods we’ll be using to memorize James.
Don’t get weirded out; we’ll start using these techniques to learn verses tomorrow!
Meanwhile, make sure to check out the audiobook (see the menu on the left) and start listening every day.
1. Watch the welcome and guidelines video (5 minutes)
