See the title. Does anyone know of a reader or plan that would help lead into being able to read Plutarch with comprehension? I know some of the old readers were aimed at helping to read Xenophon. Is there something like that for Plutarch?
I am currently working through the GNT. Maybe getting all the way through that would be enough preparation for Plutarch?
Thanks!
If you can read Xenophon, you can also read Plutarch. GTN is not enough because it’s too simplified from Attic.
Ok, It sounds like a reasonable plan would be to finish the GNT and make my way into Xenophon and then Plutarch.
I am also reading in spare time a number of the graded readers. I have completed Athenaze IT vol 1, Logos, Alexandros. I am currently working through Thrasymachus and Stoffel’s Epitome. I plan to finish Athenaze IT vol 2, and probably some comics I picked up on Lulu 
.
I think with reading those readers as well as the real Greek of the GNT and Xenophon should get me pretty close to reading Plutarch it sounds like.
Appreciate all your labors to help people like me progress!
have you tried listening and speaking the language? i tried learning Greek using the silent approach back in 2005 and failed miserably. In 2007 I learned Arabic thanks to speaking. So let that be a warning. Arabic is one of the hardest languages out there and yet I was able to learn it and was not able to learn Ancient Greek. I’m now learning Greek by listening and speaking it and now 900 hours of study later, I see light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve met people who have studied Latin for 10 years and still couldn’t read it.
Yes, I have to some degree. I primarily get lots of comprehensible input through listening and reading.
I don’t have the ability to converse with anyone right now, but I speak out loud to myself on a fairly regular basis.
