conversational Attic 2 months ago

Want to find an Attic Greek method that begins with reading and speaking (conversational) Greek. Grammar and other structural issues will follow down the road.

Greek is the language of philosophy 4 months ago

I very much want to learn Greek, as I have an interest in philosophy, as well as greek gematria, and proper pronunciation would also be a benefit to me, for other reasons.



ο γαρ Μινοταρος ειστθε οι ανδταοι 4 months ago

Well I like my ancient philosophy, mainly Aristotle although Plato has some good points too, and Greek doesn’t translate in to English very well. So I’ve decided that I need to learn how to read, write and speak Ancient Greek (specifically Attic Greek – cause that’s the dialect that the afore mentioned philosophers wrote in).



Greek... 6 months ago

So, I took a year of Attic Greek in college, but want to get it back up to speed. Almost, but not quite, like learning it for the first time! I’m working w/ Liddel and Scott’s Greek: An Intensive Course, the book we used at UNC, and highly recommend it.

I’ve been doing this for about a year, year and a half. I’ll actually be moving off into “big people” Greek soon with Plato’s The Apology of Socrates. Let’s hope I don’t drown…

When I have the time... 14 months ago

I am trying to master the script and memorize the letters and what they sound like; I’ve been looking for a pronunciation guide to this end, but it is ANCIENT greek, so more than likely I won’t be taking any trips back in time to any places that speak this language, but it is important that the speech element of it be there for me (I’m an auditory learner). The punctuation marks and diacritical marks are a new one on me, but I’m sure after a few billion hours spent hunched over my desk, I will have totally pwned and H4×0r3D ancient Greek.



Untitled 15 months ago

Studied Latin all through high school, and for awhile in college. Pretty much consider that task done, so would like to move on to a flavor of ancient Greek. I’m currently working from ‘Greek: An Intensive Course’ when I get free time, but have been sidetracked for awhile with other things on the list ..
