Excersizes With a Key

Greek Learning Greek

Χαι?ετε!

This semester I am participating in a quasi-experimental section of beginning Attic. We’re combining what’s normally taught in two semesters into one relentless, disheartening semester. (There are only two students in the section :slight_smile: ) Our text is Groton’s From Alpha to Omega. Today we started chapter 22.

Though I’m doing fairly well in the class, I know that I’m not absorbing the material as well as I did with good ol’ Wheelock. Part of the reason is the lack of “bonus excersize” type material like Wheelock has. In Wheelock, there are optional self tutorial excersized for each chapter. As I am no genius, I like to have extra practice. What would be especially helpful for me is some sort of verb worksheet that requires me to identify the tense, voice, mood, number and person of a random assortment of verbs, but any self-scorable Groton-based worksheet would be swell. A commercial product that I can buy is fine if you’ve had experience with it and think it’s worth paying for, but what I’d really like is something that I can download.

If anyone has any recommendations, I’d love to hear them.

Valete!

Well, I haven’t used it so I don’t know how useful it is, but there is a book of ancillary exercises designed to go with Alpha to Omega, see: http://pullins.com/Books/0034XAlphatoOmega.htm#Ancillaries

I don’t know if there’s anything online for Groton’s book. There are some online tutorials for Mastronarde’s Introduction to Attic Greek, however, which if I remember correctly is fairly similar: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~ancgreek/ancient_greek_start.html

I have no recommendations for you but I do have a question. Are you referring to the course offered at Berkeley?

Nah, this class is at The University of Mississippi.
