greek club 2/27/10

this week in Greek club, we learned a new declension, which is the 3rd declension. this declension, i felt, is the easiest that we learned in the club. Maybe it is like this because it is so similar to the the previous declensions. i feel that this will help me in my further study of Greek. also, we were given a sheet of vocabulary to study for next week for a quiz. this vocab will also be used in our translation of a new passage.

greek club 2/11/10

this week in Greek club we translated a passage that is known for its comedic element in ancient Greece, which depicts a lazy slave. this passage, although selected for a beginner was still difficult fro me, and the new group, to translate. i was able to use my knowledge from previous translations to translate this passage. however, there were new terms and words that i did not know, so now i have to study in order to improve my ability to translate and read greek.
