I’m here trying to learn Latin, more or less for educational purposes. I’m past my prime, but would love to become more knowledgeable about the language.
Avete omnes. I am a long-time fan of this website but I never got around to registering. I figured it was finally time I did. I am far more proficient in Latin than I am in classical Greek (I speak modern Greek quite well however). I would like to rectify that and intend to, if my copy of Hansen and Quinn would ever get here. Greetings to everyone.
I want to better understand Greek to help me in New Testament study. I am a novice to Greek so any suggestions as to books that might help me would be appreciated. I’m looking forward to throwing out some questions but I doubt at this point that I can offer any input that would help others.
I’m a college level Latin student, I’ve been interested in Latin since high school. I can’t fit any more Latin into my college schedule, though, so I’m continuing studying Latin on my own. But you need help for that if you’re stuck, right? So that’s why I’m here.
Kia Ora from New Zealand. I am looking at sharpening what few skills I still have at Latin & Greek here.
Hello,
My name is Eliot and I am a lover of classics and philosophy. I took 3 semesters of Latin and 2 of Greek in college and have read a smattering of authors since that time. I have a BA in Humanities with a concentration in History and a MA in Liberal Arts focused on Western Classics. I enjoy reading Greek especially and am seeking to improve my ability. Hence, I have come to this forum as a way to achieve my goal.
Aside from my interest in classics, I am an artisan bread baker, working and living in Butte, MT.
Greetings and best wishes to all!

I had quite idiotically attempted to post this as a new thread last night, and woke up with a cold sweat when I realized my mistake. If you know me, you would know that I’m only exaggerating slightly. I attribute my idiocy to the grogginess that accompanies late-night posting.
Hello, salvete, and whatever the Greek equivalent is. As to that last point, that is why I’m here - to be a fly on the wall and learn a thing or two about Greek.
Hello,
I’m a high school student in New Zealand.
I’ve been teaching myself Latin during these school holidays. I had a friend who was doing it with me but she’s busier than I am and found it too difficult I’m on my own now.
I’m planning on taking Latin at University next year, but I want to learn some myself now, because I’ve enjoyed what I’ve done so far.
I’m interested in Latin for many reasons. I want to be able to read Latin texts, but I’m also interested in learning it as a sort of “brain-training” thing, if that makes any sense at all.
I’m interested in Greek as well, but I’m not quite insane enough to try to learn both at once.
Hello,
I am learning Greek. I hope that taking part in this forum will help me to improve my knowledge of the Greek language.

Hi all. I have developed an interest in learning to read Greek, in order to read ancient Greek literature. I have been following Pharr’s Homeric Greek in the hope that I will be able to read the Iliad. I am already quite familiar with the plot of Iliad, having read both Lattimore’s and Lombardo’s translation. Perhaps one day I might read some Plato or Aristotle, though that will depend on how I do with the Iliad. I must admit it is exhilarating reading something that was written almost 3000 years ago.
Hello,
Just another tough who, having gone through Hansen and Quinn, is trying to get a grip on some Plato. That might sound somewhat ridiculous, but I learn languages best that way–jump into the literature, I say (for myself).
Thanks for your help!

Hello Everyone,
My name’s Cameron. I’m a brand new Greek student. I’m very interested in New Testament history, so learning Koine Greek seems like a very good idea. I’m working out of David Alan Black’s Learn To Read New Testament Greek. I look forward to participating in this forum.
Hi everyone!
I’m a 21 year old mathematical physics major - I completed intermediate Greek in my electives. I’m currently working through a beginners text book in Latin as well as the first book of Lingua Latina for reading. I also study German and Italian in my spare time. I speak English and Modern Greek.
P.S. I’m in love with Homer.
Hallo I am Alex. I live in Greece and I’m half Italian. So I love Ancient Greek and Latin. In the future I want to be a ancient greek and latin professor and I’m searching ways to make those magical languages intersting to students. I hope I get along with other textkit members.
Hello world!
My name is Jeff. I stumbled across Textkit a few months ago as I was trying to find some Ancient Greek textbooks and primers, and this seems like the right place for questions and advice. I’m currently writing a novel involving Greek gods in modern New York, so my interest in AG stems from that and, previously, a years-long love of languages and mythology. Admittedly my Latin is a bit stronger, but so far I’m on the level of reading the characters and recognizing the occasional word/stem, but I’m struggling with the cases and endings.
I live in Ireland.
I completed some courses in Latin and Greek with the Open University when I retired from teaching. I am also interested in Biblical Greek and bought the Mounce texts to study.
Hi all,
I’m very new to learning Greek (literally starting from scratch). I’m 30 years old living in Brighton in the UK but in the near future look to relocate to Cyprus. In fact I’ve started a blog of my journey (www.andylearnsgreek.blogspot.com) which I want as many people to provide feedback on via comments since I’m finding the challenge very solitary (also the best way to correct me on incorrect spelling and pronounciations). PLEASE come and visit!
Hello, everyone. By way of introduction: I studied Classics at Uni back in the 1970s, but thereafter largely let it lie fallow until about ten years ago, when I revived my old interest in Thucydides. I’m now reading him through in Greek for the fourth time, and also revising my English translation, on which I’ve been working concurrently.
I look forward to discussing Thucydides, and other topics, on here with you all!
Best wishes,
John
