Hello! I’m John. I studied Greek in college about ten years ago, and while I enjoyed it and found it interesting, I never made it past the stage of very slow translation. I remember writing the Greek out, with three lines between, then writing out the definitions of words and their forms and then finally trying to put together a translation.
I’ve recently had a little success getting comfortable reading in French and it has made me want to come back to Greek and re-learn it using a more extensive (rather than intensive) approach. I’m working through JACT right now, though I’m also looking through LGPSI, Italian Athenaze and I spent a few months learning some basic modern Greek.
