I'm not interested in Greek right now, and I think my English and Spanish are up to par. However, I'd be interested in hearing comments on the courses themselves (layout, quality of materials, etc.) themselves; it might be worth helping them out, but there's little real info on the website besides the links to the downloads.

I commented here on the first Greek course, my impressions, what I learned, etc. I spoke to the creator and he said there was a five-minute section in the beginning of the course that was accidentally cut out (explaining why the verb "to be" wasn't covered) and should be added in. The course seems very well prepared, my only trouble was remembering some of the words but as the course went on they started sticking and the words that are still hard for me to remember will surely be reviewed in the successive courses. To do it outside amidst the noises of the city might be a little difficult as the recordings are a little quiet, but that's to be expected.
What sort of info are you looking for? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The greek course is very reminescent of MT, in fact almost a copy, there is even a student (only one, maybe that gets round the copyright). The introductory blurb is about relaxing, not memorising, and the responsibility being with the teacher (much more similar than the Paul Noble courses).
I think these sort of course rely on a nice teacher, and a positive atmosphere, and I found it pretty enjoyable and effective. I've even learnt "(ego) thelo ena poto" and that was from a few days ago (I have forgotten a few other bits though). Thanks for the link, and thanks to the creator. edit: I only listened to the intro and first teaching track.

I had a listen to the first five minutes of teaching or so, it is a bit too quiet for my liking, they really need to read a bit about sound recording. It is very simple to make a recording with the same kind of volume of a commercial product. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

They currently are fundraising to buy new recording equipment as everything produced so far comes out of their pocket and on their own time. It appears that they realize the recording isn't the best, and are looking to get better equipment. If you've got a nice quiet place indoors or go to a park it's fine. It's mostly walking through town, especially by busy roads, where the volume (for me) is an issue. Still, a better recording would definitely be nice.

I spent a good 10 minutes with the Greek course and like it very much. I like the MT Greek as well and the enthusiasm of the tutor reminded me very much of that. 5 stars and a thumbs up.
Now, a latin course in this style would be very welcome... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Sorry, just that, more or less. I didn't read it the first time, and I had forgotten it was there when I came back to this thread. 1 person has voted this message useful |
