Greek is offiically hard :P

[Brother Adam]

lol. Who wants to tutor me? First lesson and I'm already having a hard time. Only two more years to go The hardest thing so far is reading Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics. Something about Happiness being the Chief Good is all I can tell you.

Are you trying to tell me its Greek to you?

[rabidgopher04]

I took ancient Greek for 2 years...let me tell you...it was hard.

I probably didn't put as much effort into it as I should have so that made it even more difficult.

It can be pretty enjoyable, but make sure you really take time to learn the basics. If you never get those down solid you'll have a real hard time advancing.

It's all Greek to me but I'd be the first to jump at a chance to learn :

[Brother Adam]

If you are interested in learning Greek on the side I suggest "Learn New Testament Greek" by John Dobson. It's a Protestant book, but it's pretty good.

Thanks! Like many other things it will have to wait for next year! I already know I gonna be swamped this semester and I haven't even started!

I can kinda help you along, but I'm no Greek tutor (nor am I qualified, by the school's standards).

I know some modern greek.

Good morning is Kallimara

and good night is kallinita

[Brother Adam]

Ah, but this is Attic Greek, older than NT Greek. At least it isn't Linear B Greek! :

i don't understand a word you just said!

[Cam42]

Ναι, τα ελληνικά είναι σκληρά. Αλλά τα αγγλικά είναι σκληρότερα. Δάσκαλος εσείς, εάν συμπαθείτε.
