I find these exercises too difficult for me. Are they mandatory to become a late beginner and start first grade? When can I consider the second volume of the method completed?

  If you’ve finished the book otherwise you can move on to the Late-Beginner Collection and, if you want, the Grade 1 book while you continue to work on these exercises. Just do one a day for 5 mins a day and otherwise carry onward!
