I have never heard a better answer to these type of remarks than Ryan Sellers, a Latin teacher at Memphis University school, USA, in this TED talk.

After the explanation, Harriet would proceed to discuss and answer any questions the student may have. She would then take the student through some exercises including multiple choice questions, translating short phrases and long phrases and then an unseen to consolidate the student’s understanding of this construction. The construction would then be reviewed in the following sessions.
