Greetings!
I am a middle age adult from the Western United States who has been wanting to learn Greek for the past few years. I finally have the opportunity to learn Greek and hope to stick with it. I have been wanting to read some works by Plato, Aristotle, and some comedies and tragedies. I also have been wanting to read some Hellenistic Greek, such as the Septuagint and New Testament. Along with that, I was hoping to read a bit of the Iliad and Odyssey. I know that each is a different type of Greek, so I took a stab and thought it best to learn Attic Greek and go from there after a few years. I am using Introduction to Attic Greek / Dr. Donald Mastronarde. There are a lot of rules in the book, so I am very glad to have stumbled upon the Textkit Greek forum. Sometimes I misinterpret the rules, and posters have already set me straight with my mistakes. In my town, Attic Greek is only taught at one private university, and I do not know if the university would allow a part-time older student or not; therefore, I am really appreciating the help I am receiving from Texkit Greek posters.
