Pharr study group, Session B open

We still haven’t settled on a start date yet, but we’ve opened up the list for subscription.

That page has a link at the top of the description to the page for joining the mailing list.

You should start on the alphabet now (lessons one and two) if you have not already.

Hi William,

I’ve been doing Pharr on my own, and I am currently on Lesson 20. So far, with the help I’ve recieved in the Pharr board, everything has been going very well. Would it be redundant for me to join? I figure it would instill some discipline in me when there is a timetable to adhere to. Plus, I also signed up for the Odyssey group (I couldn’t resist). Does it sound like I’m in over my head?

I think that’s a major appeal of such a group. If you think you’ll finish Pharr in a reasonable time without the group, then it would be redundant. But the group will certainly make it harder to put things off. Also, someone will be correcting your work, so misunderstandings will get caught soon.

If you don’t review much, joining might be good. But it’s certainly possible to get through Pharr solo (I managed it after two bad starts).

Plus, I also signed up for the Odyssey group (I couldn’t resist). Does it sound like I’m in over my head?

Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know what other Greek you’ve done. I’d recommend trying to get through the first 15 lines of the Odyssey right now, in a week or less. If it’s torture, the answer is probably “yes.” If not, then you might be fine.

btw, will there be another Odyssey group in the near future?

I’m not planning one. I might run a Minckwitz list again for the small Pharr-a group that remains when that group finishes and if there’s interest. But that’s several months in the future (about 5, I think).

No one has contacted me (in my designated “Groups Coordinator” robes of office) offering to run any other Homer lists.

So I suspect not.

Thankgoodness it’s a beginner’s group. :smiley:

I recently stopped playing everquest, which freed up about eight hours/day of free time, so I signed up.

If you are intending to join the Pharr-b group, but have not yet, you should do so quickly. It is very popular, and we have to stop accepting new people very soon (maybe two more members) or the guides will be swamped.

I tried to sign up to day, and yet:

“Your request has been forwarded to the list moderator for approval.”
Then, nothing.

Have I been rejected? :cry:

No, you just must be patient. :slight_smile: We require subscription approval to control spam. You just have to wait for me to click the wee button that approves subscriptions.

Ah, there we are. :slight_smile:

And just in time.

Pharr-B is now full. We can accept no new members.

Dannit.

Oh, no! I just lost my oportunity. I forgot to reply to the confirmation e-mail… :frowning:
