@LearnAncientGreek Thank you so much for these lessons. I am Shailesh, learning Ancient Persian Cuneiform, Avesta & Middle Persian. I want to ask if with these videos lessons, will I be able to understand Herodotus?
@@historyindoiranianlanguage4125 You’re welcome :) Once I have made all of the lessons, yes, after learning their content, you will be able to read Herodotus with a dictionary. However, I have only released 19 lessons so far; we still have a lot to cover before we are focusing on original Greek texts. Moreover, I am currently teaching Attic Greek, while Herodotus wrote in Ionic Greek (a different dialect of Greek). Ionic Greek works very similarly to Attic Greek, but there are some differences that I shall need to cover at a much later stage (when we eventually look at the different dialects of Ancient Greek). I hope that helps!
@@rovosher8708 I am not using one book to create these lessons; I plan and create them using my knowledge of Greek :) However, if you are asking for a link to the books that I myself used to learn Greek several years ago, then I can provide you with information that will enable you to find them. I primarily used JACT’s “Reading Greek” course to learn Greek, which consists of three books: 1) Reading Greek: Text and Vocabulary 2) Reading Greek: Grammar and Exercises 3) Reading Greek: An Independent Study Guide If you type in “JACT Reading Greek” on Amazon, all three of these books should come up. This course is where I got the labels for the subgroups in each declension from, as I mention in the video; I learned them years ago and they have stuck with me ever since. They have been very useful for me. I hope that this helps!
@@rovosher8708 You’re welcome. That noun is a first declension noun and, in particular, it belongs to subgroup 1b. This means that it would decline like the noun χωρᾱ. I show how this noun declines at 30:48 in my video on the first declension - the link is below: ruclips.net/video/lDz4cqZwYWc/видео.htmlsi=opi6VC8L9fn6mdIR

Could you please publish a link to the book that you are using?

@@LearnAncientGreek thanks. Could you verify for me the declension of σημασία ας ή?
