I don't suppose i know them that well, but i guess right now i'm at
least trying to get familiar with all of the words so i will at least
when i come across some word i will remember that i memorized it at
one point, and when i look it up again, it will stick in my head and i
will remember it. 

That text book is pretty long though, isn't it? it would take quite a
bit of paper to print that sucker out... I don't think i've seen the
mini lessons or mini grammar yet. I'm reading through chapter 9 of the
reference grammar right now. I think i've prolly forgotten already a
lot of what i read, so i will have to go over it all twice or look
over my notes (i right down all the stuff i think is important so i
don't have to depend on the webpage for reference).

As for an order of reading the reference grammar, well, it's a
reference, so it's not ordered for learning i don't think... but as
far as i can tell the more basic concepts are at the beginning, so
sequential order would prolly work as well or better than any other...

'drone'...
