Hello group, Just a word of encouragement to all you :old" learners of Greek. I started Greek when I was 60 and to my delight, I find that I can read Homer, with a little help from my friends,L&S, though Aristotle is, indeed more of a challenge, not to say d--- difficult. I too have little trouble with concepts, but the memory work is difficult. I thought it was my age, but many of my younger colleagues find the same trouble. It is certainly worth persevering and as an ex-learning psychologist, may I say that theory supports the "little and often" type of practise. Good luck to late learners and Happy Holidays to all. MMC
