I'm learning two dead languages and I used to study German. Sometimes I'm trying to study or translate and my brain just stops taking in or putting out anything. Anybody else had that? If so, are there any work arounds?

    not sure if it would solve this exact problem but would generally recommend something like LLPSI ( check out this google doc ) for learning latin to actually understand it rather than just translating. Unfortunately theres not much great resources out there for Greek. I generally think the picking out words out of order and trying to rephrase it in english and explicitly parsing all the grammar is counterproductive and a waste of time but thats what most teachers want you to do so. idk
