I you might convey a bit of advice: I would ask her to pace herself.
There's a lot of work and abstraction behind the language and absorbing it
probably means something like a half hour a day, several days a week, for a
number of years. And, some naps...

Or, that's how I picked it up...

Anyways, here's one that I like:

   thru=: <. + i.@(+*)@-~

Examples might include 10 thru 20 or 100 thru 95.

Usually, though, you would accomplish those examples with 10+i.11 or 100-i.6

Thanks,
