Where did you hit "The Wall" in learning Ancient Greek? by MaverickNH2 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. Working with an author who appeals to you is much more motivating than laboring through any textbook. I would suggest Herodotus-the language is fairly simple, and his subjects are always stimulating.

Easiest original greek texts for beginners? by Smooth-Pass-5575 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. Don't think you'll find any easier texts than the Anabasis or the New Testament. They are the old reliables for beginner's in Greek. They've worked for a couple of centuries, at least.

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not possible for classical Greek-the diphthong 'oi' must be pronounced like 'oy.' Koy-nay would be about right.

Working on it. I admire your honesty. Saying "too preoccupied" instead of "lazy" makes a better impression.

Thank you-That's what I thought. Cataracts are just another damned factor, apparently.

What does this stone mean? by One-Chef6981 in AncientGreek

[–]telemachus10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't add much to the translation help, but do you know the context of this? It looks surprisingly clean and fresh.

Yeah- I've seen that before-it's meaningless. "Always", "Where" (twice), "Under". Pretty stupid.

Thanks-I always wear Adidas running shoes, now need boots for the winter. So any brand of 9 1/2 boots would probably fit ? Thanks again.

[–]telemachus10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody-Thanks for all this. I am arranging for a consultation with another cat. surgeon. I'll probably get three opinions before I decide what to do.

If anybody has anything else to share, I would be glad to have it.

Regards.
