I can understand the preference for a coherent story, for certain. JW White's book (from which I learnt... I'm a bit
biased, but no apologies!) managed something like that based on the Anabasis. If you like Xenophon, it's great fun. If not... And akkadboy, using friends as guinea-pigs for language acquisition theories is perfectly naughty, so naturally I think it's a brilliant idea. Only please tell him to learn those verb forms! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks for all the great information and the links. I've gone from being completely
clueless to well-informed and with a plan for when I learn Ancient Greek. @cmj: Thanks for such a great and detailed response (btw I knew that Socrates never wrote anything it's just that I've always felt Plato's earlier work seemed to reflect the nature of Socrates better than his later books did [which I despise] so I tend to split the Socratic dialogues into two types, the more Socratic work vs the more 'Platonic' work [I hated how Plato seemed to turn Socrates into a puppet for works like the Republic, but that's neither here nor there.]) @Lukos: It's interesting to see some more info about Athenaze as I had seen a negative review of Athenaze that said the same thing and I was curious as to what was meant by it (thanks for asking, akkadboy). @quendidil: Thanks for that great link and the info about Assimil. @Cabaire: Thanks for the answer to number 5. 1 person has voted this message useful |
