πάντας χαίρετε. Ἀτρεύς εἰμί. βούλομαι μανθάνειν τό λέγειν ἐλληνικην. ἕν ἔτην ἐσπούδακα περί μανθάνειν ἀλλά οὔποτε ἤσκησα λέγειν και γράφειν, μόνος ἀναγιγνώσκειν. διδάσκετε μοι τήν γλῶσσαν καλήν!

(currently using Athenaze italian version and assimil ancient greek)

Well, after reading through the rules for posting, I'm not sure if I'm suitable. Please, I'm not a spammer, just a lowly indie author looking for help with some ancient Latin (which I must tell you, I have never had the pleasure of learning :( ).
If someone out there is willing to help me I would be most appreciative, but unfortunately, I can give no help ...

I really enjoyed reading Orberg's LLPSI, and found it extremely helpful in reinforcing grammar and vocab.

Does anyone know of books in a similar format for other languages? I am especially interested in Spanish and French.

Thanks.

I don't know what to say but I've decided to learn lingua latina after postponing it due to the grammar difficulties. This time, I've decided to stick with it until I can get the hang of it. I'll be visiting this site often to ask lots of questions. :D

Besides latin, I've learned Japanese for 6 years (however I'm no where near the fluency of a ...

The longer version since I just read the rules and definitely don't want to get kicked off!

I'm studying Wheelock's Latin in higher education. I've taken Latin since highschool and used Latin's Not So Tough early on before switching to Henle. I got a Latin Scholarship at the university I now attend.

I've gotten a little rusty, so using these forums have helped. I want to continue to do so and help others out as ...

Hi, I'm going through Wheelock right now and enjoying it. These forums have been a huge help to me. I look forward to joining and helping others as well!

Greetings,
My name is Richard Ross and my interest in the classics is a type of delayed gratification since I have been doing other things most of my life. But when in bookstores I always find myself gravitating to the Loebs and wondering what secrets do these books hold and what am I missing? Not everything in classical Greek is straightforward, however, and I frequently need help. Hence my application.

Cordially
Richard Ross

Hi -

My name is Juli and somehow I never made an account on the forums even though I've been reading them on and off for years (possibly over a decade).

I want to learn Latin (and Greek eventually) but I've never been very successful in getting beyond the very beginning steps of any book. My current try is using Lingua Latina with the workbook as well. This combines 2 of the ways I learn ...

Greetings all. It's been a while since I've been here, (I found Latin too hard in the end) but I hope this post might be useful to someone, and isn't too far off topic for this board.

For Christmas I bought myself a Kobo Glo eReader, and started reading free epub books on it. However I soon became frustrated by the way they used CAPITALS or _phrases in underscores_ to indicate that the original paper ...

Salvete omnes καὶ χαίρετε πάντες...

I'm Barry Hofstetter. I teach classics a The American Academy and Latin at the Jack M. Barrack Hebrew School (both in the greater Philadelphia area). I'm also a moderator and relatively frequent contributor to the b-Greek forum. I started doing both Latin and Greek way back in the 20th century and never stopped. I have a deep and abiding interest not only in the literature for it's own sake, but ...
