Hi!
I’m new. lol
I am mostly interested in Greek, but also would like to get around to Latin. I am basically starting from scratch, but very excited about it.
I am also very busy, so we’ll see how it goes. 
Salve!
Welcome to Textkit! I’m just beginning Greek myself and find it fascinating. Also taking Latin through school. If you need any help, just ask! Someone will surely be willing to give aid.
May I ask where you’re from?

Currently living in Utah.
I’m working for a BA in Biblical Theology (just started though), and it will be slow going since I have three kids and a full time job. 
I hope my questions don’t come across as too basic at first. 
et tu?
I’m a high school student in Texas. Took Latin for a year (just started my second year a few days ago) and happened upon textkit looking for other Latinites. Then I saw the Greek textbooks and became really interested in learning Greek. So far, I love it!
Greek would be pretty useful for Biblical Theologist. Do you also plan on learning Hebrew, or is the New Testament your focus?
sigh Yes, eventually. Of course, there is always the LXX until then.
I also want to be able to read stuff like the Iliad etc.. Just for fun. (its probably a very different Greek right?)
That is awesome that you are started so early. I’m 30 yrs. old. I hope to give my kids a head start as well.
Hi grok, no question is too basic so no worries about that. Sounds like you have a very busy life but as long as you spend even 15-20 minutes per day you’ll find yourself improving rapidly. Perhaps during your commute or other “slower” times of the day? Myself I’m in univ (with no kids haha) so my concept of time management is much different.
Also, Latin will eventually be a must, since I may study patristics later on.
I’m getting fatigued just thinking about it.
Thanks MDS!
The best part about it is, its rewarding all on its own. So far just beginning I’ve had a lot of fun with it.
I’ll have to get some stuff to listen to in the car for sure. Any recommendations are very welcome.
Slow and steady wins the race 
You’re 100% correct, the inherent reward makes your time and effort more than worthwhile.
I havn’t begun learning Ancient Greek yet so I don’t know of the best audio tapes for that but I’d suggest looking at the “outside links” forum for Greek audio files online.
Hi grok–I’m new, too, and just wanted to say hello to you. Good luck with your studies.

Thanks William, likewise!
Welcome to Textikit!
Hope your Greek studies go well, I’m not sure about tapes, but maybe you could make some yourself, at least for learning vocab it might be a good idea.
When I was learning principal parts I recorded my own audio files on my computer and then played them over and over again while I was doing other things. very helpful.
Oooh..good idea!
welcome to Textkit!
Speaking of memorization I’ve started a new method: write the English verb on the top of a postit note and then fold the bottom up to make a flap covering the rest. Write the principal parts/noun with genitive/whatever inside the flap, stick it on your wall and only take it off when you instantly know what’s under the flap. It works & I hate flashcards but like this. Whatever works for you
What ever way works for you is great.
One advantage of flashcards is that you can use them both ways (E>G and G>E)
English to Greek? I’m not sure my mind could take that …
Hello & welcome to Textkit, grok!
It sounds like you have quite the busy schedule!!!
Does having a BA in Biblical Theology allow you to become a church leader? My uni doesn’t offer that degree, so I am quite ignorant as to what it is other than understanding the Bible.
Good luck in your studies!!
Hey, love the postit note idea!!
