For a "learners" forum, textkit looks quite erudite. I have a degree in classics and philosophy, but still know the languages less well than I should and certainly less well than some of you seem to do. I look forward to sharpening my knowledge :-)

Perhaps my biggest problem with Ancient Greek is pronouncing it. Will post in more detail on the Greek board.

Pronunciation is a lot like a thespian's attire - you can wear chainmail with your sneakers, but not sneakers with your chainmail.
