I would like to join this new group. I am a university researcher in the field of biochemistry but I remeber my classical studies with pleasure and can still read ancient greek and translate but I wouls also like to improve and broaden my knowledge.
Thanks for consideration
I would also like to join to the group for people using Homeric Greek: A Book for Beginners by Clyde Pharr. Now there is no such a group. The last one has been already closed. But if there are a lot of people wishing to joing this group, another one will be organized. So, we need more people.
You can count me as of yours. I am with Pahrr´s Homeric Greek and I consider well such proposition. But, I have a doubt. How would the group work if it were created?
Ι imagine that -like many of yours- we´ll have many problems with our pronunciation.
ide be willing to join… ive started with pharr already but am up to a chapter were a ‘good review’ is recomended and i am still abit fuzzy on some consepts so would be very happy to join in
I wonder how the new group appears in the group list on http://www.textkit.com/groups/. Maybe we should put our advertisement there somehow? Besides we are still do not have any guide.
I am also working with my Pharr book now. I’ve already got up to lesson XIII but I still have some questions.
See if you can get 8-10 people for your Pharr group. As I earlier hinted, you’ll probably lose half of them.
The guides you seek are typically senior-ish members of textkit. Each and every one of them is aware that your group will need a guide. Each, including me, is probably casting about for reasons why (s)he can’t serve as guide right now. But, in the end, some generous soul usually steps up and serves…
My Pharr-d group has kind of dwindled.. I have - some - room. But only for a limited group, which would be ok with corrections only once a week on Saturdays.
Since I took on a new job recently, I have to limit the number of any new group members to tutor. I say, for me, right now, the limit is 5 members.
Pharr’s is a course called “Homeric Greek for Beginners”. All Pharr groups on this site, I think, are beginners groups.
I would say any new members could not join the Pharr-d group. I would say this would have to be a new group, with someone other than me setting up the schedule.
Now I am also very busy with my math that is why having corrections once (or twice) per week is rather convenient. But I hope that in summer we will be able to have more lessons.
You couldn’t know no one was going to take you up on your offer, the offer shows the generosity. (Unless you offered to appear generous and hoped no one would take you up on it but I refuse to believe that.)
