	Resources From Textkit First Greek Book by John Williams White Greek Prose Composition by North and Hillard Greek Grammar by William W. Goodwin Xenophon's Anabasis in Greek - Book VI by G.M. Edwards Illustrated Dictionary to Xenophon's Anabasis by John Williams White First Four Books of Xenophon's Anabasis by William W. Goodwin Plan Loosley based on the Amazon guide So you'd like to... learn ancient Greek well and then read the New Testament - since I would like to be able to read both. Use the above resources (starting with First Greek Book and maybe Greek Prose Composition) to work on ancient Greek. Work on reading Classical Greek writings. Read some Kione Greek writings. Review some Biblical Greek books and read the New Testament in Greek. 1 person has voted this message useful

	I once made 2 text-files for the First Greek Book, one with all the exercises, one with the continuous story-line (potted version of the 1st book of the Anabasis). Makes revising past lessons much easier. If you'd like them, PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. For typing the Greek I used a very handy little programme called Unicorn. When you open a text with Unicorn you can click on any word and will then be given both the meaning and the morphological analysis, provided the word is included in the dictionary. All the words from the First Greek Book are, I typed them in myself. Unicorn is available, for free, from here: http://www.quasillum.com/software/unicorn.htm It does the same for Latin, as long as you download and install the Latin dictionary of course. The programme also allows us to type Hebrew and Russian. And there is an international, freely customizable keyboard outlay as well. I have done just that, customised it that is, and can now type Hungarian, or even Polish (lots of strange letters), using my normal keyboard.

	Well I'm working on this again, I have a shiny copy of A Reading Course in Homeric Greek Book 1 to use. I'm trying to do double the schedule in the beginning of the book. (So if the lesson is one 50 minute class, I want to do it in 2 days.) I reviewed the previous material in Anki, the vocab is very hard, I need to do a better job making associations. I also read lesson 9 (I've done 1-8, and I'll do the exercises tomorrow). And if anyone else using Anki had the Greek accent marks disappear while reviewing, change the font. I set mine to Serif and it displays correctly now. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Don't you find First Greek Book incredibly dry? I did a few pages and then switched to Athenaze. Apparently the Italian edition of Athenaze is the most highly recommended, even if you don't speak Italian, but I wouldn't know where to get a copy. 1 person has voted this message useful

	Yeah I found it hard to keep going on First Greek Book - it probably would have been easier with a study group but I couldn't find a current one. I decided to start with Homeric and work forward (there is an Amazon guide on doing this). So I grabbed A Reading Course in Homeric Greek. Anyway, I'm doing cartwheels now - I found a copy of the answer key! The link on textkit didn't work, but archive.org had a copy here: http://web.archive.org/web/20071013230146/http://catholicvoi ce.co.uk/classics/schoder.htm I finished lesson 9 this morning, but I'm going to check my work tonight and go from there. Vocabulary has been a PILL to remember, so I made some index cards and I'm going to add a pronunciation to the front and carry them with me. Hopefully pronouncing the words consistently will help me remember. 1 person has voted this message useful
