We are using the Reading Greek course of books from the Joint Association of Classical Teachers. Speaking Greek is an accompanying pair of audio CDs that you might find helpful, it can be downloaded along with the rest of the material from Anna's Archive or z-lib

This first week we are taking it slow, *just* the alphabet, which is in section one of the volume Grammar and Exercises, please memorize the entire alphabet and complete the written exercises at the end. The accompanying audio is tracks 1-8 of Speaking Greek

The reason why we are taking a whole week for the alphabet, which can be learned in one sitting, is because it gives time to people who want to order hard copies of the material as opposed to downloading it, and because it gives more people an opportunity to get involved from the beginning without having to struggle to catch up

If you would like to follow future threads, they will be posted on the #greek channel of /lit/'s poetry discord

Will you continue making threads for this or will you give up after a handful? I'm ~2 years into Latin and feel ready to start dabbling with Greek. Studying as a group would motivate me to take it seriously, but if it fizzles out after a month I'm afraid I'll have wasted time I should have spent on my Latin.

I fucking hate these books that are split up into multiple volumes. Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata does it too. Fuck you kike. I'm not using this shit. I'm using Anabasis, in my own pace.

I tried to do a translation of a hard paragraph to Koine from this thread >>25286593

πορευομένων αὐτῶν κάτω τῆς ὀρεινῆς καὶ δολίας ὁδοῦ, ἔδοξαν πειθέσθαι ὅτι οὐκ οἱ ἐχθροί που ἐγγὺς αὐτῶν· τοῦ δὲ καταβάντος φύλακος αὐτῶν, ἐξαίφνης φοβερὸς καὶ μέγας ὁ κάπρος ἔστη ἐν μέσῳ τῆς ὁδοῦ αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐφοβήθη ἐν τῷ προσώπῳ αὐτῶν. νοέων ὅτι ἡ παρουσία τῶν ἵππων τῶν αὐτῶν ἂν σκορπίζοι αὐτον ἐγγιζόντων αὐτῶν, προέβαινον, ἀλλὰ τοῖς θαύμασιν αὐτῶν ἐγένοντο ἰσχυροί ὡς ὁ ἥλιος, ἀναβαίνων τὰ ὄρη τὰ πρὸ αὐτῶν, ἐτύφλωσεν αὐτούς. ἐξαίφνης δέ, οὐ κάπρος βλεφθῆναι, ἔτι κοινόν πάθος περί ὃν ἐβεβλέκείσαν ἦν σημεῖον καὶ νουθεσία τούτων μέλλον
