Thanks for consideration

I would also like to join to the group for people using Homeric Greek: A Book for Beginners by Clyde Pharr. Now there is no such a group. The last one has been already closed. But if there are a lot of people wishing to joing this group, another one will be organized. So, we need more people.

Guide need.
Does anyone know where we can find a guide? Maybe we should put an advertisement?

I wonder how the new group appears in the group list on http://www.textkit.com/groups/. Maybe we should put our advertisement there somehow? Besides we are still do not have any guide.Gonzalo wrote:Putting an advertisement isn´t bad idea but the matter leans in where to put it.
I am also working with my Pharr book now. I've already got up to lesson XIII but I still have some questions.megas_yiannakis wrote:... ive started with pharr already but am up to a chapter were a 'good review' is recomended ...

See if you can get 8-10 people for your Pharr group. As I earlier hinted, you'll probably lose half of them.
The guides you seek are typically senior-ish members of textkit. Each and every one of them is aware that your group will need a guide. Each, including me, is probably casting about for reasons why (s)he can't serve as guide right now. But, in the end, some generous soul usually steps up and serves.....
Cordially,
Paul

My Pharr-d group has kind of dwindled.. I have - some - room. But only for a limited group, which would be ok with corrections only once a week on Saturdays.
Since I took on a new job recently, I have to limit the number of any new group members to tutor. I say, for me, right now, the limit is 5 members.
Let me know if that is convenient.

You couldn't know no one was going to take you up on your offer, the offer shows the generosity. (Unless you offered to appear generous and hoped no one would take you up on it but I refuse to believe that.)perispomenon wrote:So easy to be generous if then no-one takes you up on your offer (or were you being cynical?

You would start from the beginning, the Pharr-d schedule is too far ahead for you to be able to catch up, I would think.Alex Green wrote:Shall we start learning from the beginning or according with the Pharr-d schedule?
I look at lessons posted for Pharr-d every saturday, so I would also pick up the lessons you two would be posting.
I suggest you ask Paul via this thread for an account in the Pharr-d group and that you subscribe to the Pharr-d mailinglist.
Then we can determine a schedule for you.

I had suggested a while back to have a "perpetual Pharr Program." People start whenever they like to as long as there are not any more than a pre-determined total. Now we try to get a number of participants before we start a group and then we have 80% or more drop out.perispomenon wrote:You would start from the beginning, the Pharr-d schedule is too far ahead for you to be able to catch up, I would think.Alex Green wrote:Shall we start learning from the beginning or according with the Pharr-d schedule?

The problem is that we would also have to have (a) perpetual guide(s).
I don't know if the time has come for this or not.

I suppose the 'perpetual guide' would be something to work out. But a 'perpetual Pharr program' is not a bad idea. Actually, a very good idea.Bert wrote:I had suggested a while back to have a "perpetual Pharr Program."

I wonder if time restraints have kept Paul from following Textkit conversations.perispomenon wrote:Hi Paul,
Could you tell our two joiners whereto they can email their preferred account names for Pharr-d?
This is the address we used before.
arachweb at optonline dot net
Remove the spaces and replace the at with @ and the dot with .
(I don't think he wants the address floating around, available for automatic "harvesting.")

Alex and Gonzalo, could you please send an email to the address Bert provided, stating that you would like an account for Pharr-d and the account name you would like to have?
You can then sign up for the mailinglist at http://textkit.com/mailman/listinfo/pharr-d_textkit.com
