News of Open Board

I revised the forum rules and I no longer require new members to post in the introduction thread that is mega-long. It was a good idea at first, but it's been suggested to me (for quite some time) that it is long and too difficult to maintain an orderly thread.

New members are now asked to create their own introduction post on the open board or they may, at their own peril, post directly on ...

Anyone fancy having a pop at the Pope's motto; I've seen about five different translations of this in the media!

"miserando atque eligendo"

When I was learning Serbo-Croat I played Diplomacy online with a group of native speakers and it was very helpful in helping me learn.

Unfortunately I have yet to find a group of Ancient Greek native speaker diplomacy players.
However, playing with a group of fellow learners might well be just as effective.

Diplomacy would be ideal as it has simple rules but negotiation with other players is crucial. Hence if we did all our ...

Hello everyone. Found these boards via a Google Search for a Graded Attic Reader; am utilizing the online Athenaze materials kindly recommended by other users.

After letting it rust for over a decade I'm refreshing my New Testament/Biblical (Koine) Greek with Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek and adding some Attic. The Attic is a real kick. While NTG reading fluency is the main goal, a lifetime of quasi-memorizing the NIV text means I tend to ...

I am considering buying this book, but can't find out the information I want to know before going ahead.

I'm half-way through the first Lingua Latina book and really enjoy the style and the immersion method, and apparently Schulz & Griesbach's book is very similar.

Hi, my name is John, I live in Northern Ireland, and I'm a Greekoholic.

At first I could handle it: A college course on Koine. Then I pretty much quit for a while except for an occasional shot of NT.

But last year I tried a drop of the hard stuff. A shot of Attic Grammar. Ever since, I've been gulping it down with my breakfast and with my morning coffee. Sometimes even before I ...

Hi Chaps!

Does anyone know if the 2nd Edition of Athenaze has a Teacher's Guide yet? I can't seem to find it on the OUP website, but Amazon has it, oddly. Also, anyone know if there exists a UK edition of the 2nd Edition? I'm used to teaching NAGDV, and NGDAV drives me batty.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend any forums like Textkit but dealing with Ancient Greek history and culture rather than the language?
