maybe some examples for the more difficult words would be useful.
i'm having trouble remembering some adverbs and conjunctions.
for instance おろか can be used both as an adjective, meaning 'foolish', and as an adverd. for the second usage (more difficult to remember for me) I found an example using dic.yahoo.co.jp

ギリシア語はおろか,英語だってよく分からない
I don't understand even English well, to say nothing of Greek.
