New Members Introduction Thread (New Users Post Here!)

hello, as per the forum rules, I’m posting in here to introduce myself. Not much to say really, I’m learning Greek as a hobby in my spare time, and I’m here because I’ve hit a few bumps along the way. I didn’t realise it was going to be so difficult to get help…I guess spammers ruin it for everyone

Hello,

I am David. I’m 31 and live in Florida. I took three semesters of Greek back in college working through the Hansen and Quinn text. We read part of Plato’s Apology in the second year, but I didn’t have any more time in my schedule for Greek classes after that. It was a shame, as I enjoyed Greek classes the most out of any of my subjects in college.

Now, I am trying to get back into Greek. I went through Beetham’s Learning Greek with Plato to brush up and am now slowly working through Plato’s Symposium through Geoffrey Steadman’s version. I would like to become fairly competent in reading Greek, and might move on to Latin as well at some point.

This looks like a great community. I have to admit that at times I feel a little lonely as no one I know shares my interest in Greek.

Eh, my apologies. I posted on another thread before posting here.

I’m just a dude interested in Learning some Latin and wanted to thank some guy for posting the answer sheet. I was having some trouble with a few sentences and wanted to see how good my translations were.

I intend to learn both Latin and Ancient Greek, because why the heck not?

I have been working in ancient Greek for 25 years. Dropped in to ask a question now and then about Plato’s Euthyphro who I am currently dabbling in.

Hello! I am just starting to learn Latin. The main reason why I am learning Latin is because I thought it would be interesting and I heard it is helpful when learning other languages.

I’m considering to learn Latin. Unfortunately, i’m really poor in any languages included my mother tongue. Hopefully, i can be succeed in learning Latin.

Wanted to learn some prayers and passages in Latin. Also trying to learn a little Aramaic. I have always found it more spiritual when praying in the ancient tongues.

Hi, I am Brent! I am a student. I am here to learn and to share ideas.

Cheers, I am a single-mom and would like to learn Latin even in a short phrase or sentence. I have many friends that speaks Latin and I like to join on their language. Thanks for this forum.

Hi!
I’m a first year Latin student, using Wheelock’s Latin.
I’m realy hoping to someday be able to read, speak, and write in Latin, but for now, I’ll settle for passing my class!
I chose to learn Latin because I have always had a love of history- especially ancient history.
I’m so glad that I found this site- I think it will help me quite a bit! :smiley:

Hi,
Can’t say exactly why I wanted to learn Latin, but I find discovering the roots of English and French words very interesting. I am also the person creating the answer key to the Beginner Latin book - still hoping to find some editing help! Thanks for proving the PDF, I find the book more helpful than some of the current Latin textbooks.

Vale!
I just registered and I introduce myself

Milano me genuit, Saudi rapuere, tenet nunc Bangkok
l’Italiano e’ la mia lingua di nascita, e il latino e’ un (ora) piacevole ricordo delle mie medie e del liceo, ma.. … but my acquired language is English, I left latin to the time of my high school, and I was now, in the (early!!) autumn of my life, interested in reading some of my old ancestors language, so here I’m now, looking forward to put some new light to my early memories..
I’m a civil engineer, interested in cooking, stamps and recently in butterflies.

Hey all. I’m a Seminary student in Oregon. Eventually my program will include more languages than I care to think about knowing at the moment… for now learning Greek is plenty.

Salvete!

My name is Lucius, I’ve been learning Latin for about a year and a half now, and a few months ago started learning Ancient Greek.

I recently found this site and decided to join – a language-learning community of like-minded people? I’m there!

I speak French, Portuguese, Spanish, and English as well.

Thanks everyone!


Valete!

Hi there!
My name is Montgomery and I’m here to learn Greek. Hope, there are many forumers who will help me to achieve good results!
Thanks!

Hello,

I am a student at Western Michigan University and am taking Attic Greek. I have been looking around the forums for a while now and decided it was time to join.

I am a licensed Physical Therapist and I would like to study medicine in the near future. I’m still saving for it. Meantime, a friend suggested that I study the rudiments of Latin because a lot of medical terms have Latin origin.

Hopefully, this website will start me off nicely.

Salvete! My oldest daughter and I are studying Latin with Wheelock 7th edition over the next two years. She is just beginning high school. We intend to use the various extensions readers in the years following as well as some of the materials available on this site.
We are also studying greek with Athanaze Book 1 with the intention of using Book 2 next year and Homeric Greek by Pharr the third year. I have previously studied Koine Greek in my seminary studies.
My wife and younger daughters are beginning with “Getting Started with Latin” and will be able to begin working with Wheelock once I have completed it with our oldest.
Looking forward to linking up with some other teachers, students, and perhaps families who value the classics! thanks!
