Finding textkit

[bingley]

How did you find your way to Textkit?<br /><br />Just to start the ball rolling, I'll tell you that I found it recommended in the Perseus FAQ.

<br />Googling

<br />Oh, thanks for posting this question. I've been wondering that myself too. I'm interested in learning how everyone found their way over here. I was tempted to ask the question in each new intro post.

[Nihil]

Found it through a link from another site. I don't recall which site that was though.

Greetings, <br />I found Textkit from another site, i think it was one of the about.com sites, ancient history or some such related topic.<br />Bright Blessings,<br />Merytdjehuty

I like this thread! It gives me clues as to how well my SEO techniques are going.<br /><br />Visitors who are looking for a specific book or author always have the best luck - Google has been very good to us. We rank very well for almost all our book titles.<br /><br />jeff.

Searching for Latin Grammars (yahoo).

[klewlis]

I was asking about greek grammars on the classics-l list and someone mentioned that I could download goodwin here...

[Milito]

I did a google search for "Latin Grammar" and this was about the first hit that came up.<br /><br />Kilmeny

I was looking for a Latin ebook of the first five books of Livy's History of Rome-on Google, I think. <br /><br />Keesa

It was recommended to me by someone from B-Greek, a Biblical Greek discussion group.

[Borealis]

The site was mentioned on the latinstudy mailing list; I don't remember what the initial post was talking about, but I checked out the site and decided to stay.<br />

[benissimus]

I believe I was searching for "Latin forum." There really aren't that many...

Texkit was mentioned by "Le Café pédagogique", a French newsletter, on June 4.

[Raya]

For me, a link from www.greek-language.com if I remember correctly...

I couldn't find a link to TextKit on it, so I emailed the webmaster about that. We'll see what happens...

[benissimus]

Maybe this post should be a sticky so that you can see where the new members are coming from?

[Nihil]

Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines earlier.

<br /><br />That looks like a neat site-I'm always looking for a chance to practice my French! <br /><br />Keesa

[/quote]<br /><br />Looking for other French sites? One of my favorite things to do (well, before they banned streaming-anything from work) was to listen to French radio. One such site is Radio France Internationale http://www.rfi.fr and http://www.rfimusique.com.<br /><br />

The send me an burst of e-mails every month. Interesting and detailed, but, naturally, mainly focused upon France.

The only problem is, I'm not very good at it yet, and I have a little trouble translating while upside down. ;D<br /><br />Keesa

<br /> Textkit came up first when I hit "Learn Ancient Greek" on a search engine. <br /><br /> Needless to say I didn't look any further down. It's full of really interesting manuals, enough to keep a beginner like me busy, AND evergrowing in information (and bright people!), for when I come to handle the language better. <br /><br /> Consaidin<br /><br />
