I too have the same difficulty and for me the way around the problem is to compose model sentences using fa.... fe.... fi..... and then to hope my mind connects all fa... type occurences as x1.... fe as x2.... and fi... as x3... . Am I on the right track? I live in Melbourne but am about to move to country Victoria in Australia. Did French, Spanish and Portuguese over 25 years ago at Uni. Learnt grammar originally by teaching myself some Esperanto at highschool. My preferred language is Bislama (Vanuatu Pidgin English) which I speak at home with my wife who is from there.
