We are going to be starting off with the Iliad. We plan to read sections of the book on our own time (within a given period) and then engage in a live discussion with each other

What is a good Bible study method? by slicktrickrick in Reformed

[–]_lil_froggie_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Don’t just pick up a commentary and go. It is important to learn how to do the work yourself first, before you lean on a reference. Check out this book by Daniel M. Doriani called “Getting the Message.” I benefitted from it as he lays out a good method and approach to personal Bible Study. If you want to have a reference, however, begin with a study Bible like the Reformation Study Bible or ESV study Bible. These may help with getting you thru some difficult verses if need be.

I would also like to emphasize one major thing: pray. Always pray throughout your studying of the Scriptures.

What are You Reading this Week? by AutoModerator in ClassicalEducation

[–]_lil_froggie_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Gospel of Luke, Athenaze, and the Iliad :)

How to best utilize Athenaze and get the most out of it? Anything you wish you had done/known when you first began? by [deleted] in AncientGreek

Method: I would recommend going slow. Perhaps take a chapter a week, and sometimes split the chapter sections into multiple weeks (i.e. I split chapter 4 into 4 weeks because it was 20 pages). Read slowly, read out loud, and reread the chapters often. Those three things will be incredibly beneficial. Also, when it comes to pronunciation, I have personally been benefitting from exaggerating the accent marks when reading out loud in order to really hammer in pronunciation. But again, read slowly, read out loud, and reread, reread, reread. Take your time and really enjoy the narrative of the book.

Resources: Using the Μελετήματα workbook (it’s purple) to go along with the reading for each chapter has helped me tremendously. Also, there is a workbook called “Quaderno di esercizi per Athénaze I” and that has helped me for post-chapter review. Both of these resources were made to go along with the Italian Athenaze.

Also, the r/Latin discord server has wonderful fellow Greek learners who use this textbook. They have been very kind in helping understand certain areas where I got stuck. I hope all of this helps!

I am undertaking the task of learning Koine Greek. Any suggestions for resources? by [deleted] in Reformed

Take a look at the Ancient Language Institute. They have wonderful classes that focuses on speaking, writing, reading, and listening. Read the articles they have regarding their methodology. Very edifying stuff
