How long is it that other people here have studied Greek, particularly those studying on your own (like me)?
A separate question would be how much $ you've spent on Greek books...

Oxford Classical Texts. These are the most easily available critical editions of Greek and Latin works in the U.S.Adelheid wrote:What are OCT's?

Don't stop.What was your strategy when you first got started, and what has the most helpful study strategy for you?
It occured to me to mention this, but Bert got to it first.Bert wrote: Other commitments keep me from spending as much time on it as I would like but there have been very few days that I did not do any Greek.
An excellent heuristic!This has resulted in some Hebrew and Latin books ending up on my shelf as well. I guess they figure if they can't read it, it must be something I like.
I might also mention that you might want to grab a good commentary for the work you are going throughannis wrote:After a beginning textbook is finished (i.e., you've seen most of the morphology): read difficult works. Grab some work, a dictionary and a grammar, and sit down and read.
Me too. 1 year in college doing C&S, then a year of rael texts. I'm heading into my third year.Democritus wrote:I originally learned Greek using Crosby and Schaeffer, which is a nice little book.
