This is another good text genre for beginners: I have characters introduce themselves. Texts do not have to be narrative. Note how these texts allow natural use of the 1st person as well as the present tense. Also, Gaius is developing into a bit of a comic-relief character. 🙈

Okay, I have been made aware that Pooh bear isn't being very precise here: Of course socius cannot derive from sequī within Latin, but the two words are derived from the same PIE root. I hope everybody is happy now. :)

At this stage you will find it interesting when actual Greek texts use other connectors like μέντοι, τοιγαροῦν, γοῦν, κτλ. Observe when and how frequently they're used. Imitate with caution. Reserve the asyndeton (zero-connector) for your last words. It is powerful.

This is the simplest stage. Next, also use δέ (yes, without μέν). It's tricky enough! Once you know δέ, try using γάρ and οὖν. This is a comfy spot. Stay here for a while. When you begin to automatically start sentences with connectors, look for some good combos, bring in μέν.

Why your Ancient Greek sounds like English #399: Not using connectors in AG is like not using punctuation in English. If you write more than one sentence in Ancient Greek, just start the second sentence with καί. Your composition will be infinitely better than without it.

Kids like reading about animals. Describing them is a great opportunity to introduce simple sentences. Also, it feels awesome to use the present tense correctly! I am so done with textbooks retelling myths in "historic present." The illustration is AI generated.

I don't know who needs to hear it, but you can just read the Vergilius Romanus, a 5th-c manuscript, online. 👉 https://t.co/ZON643Khk9

Something has come up and I find it fascinating. Be honest: Regardless of its lexical meaning, do you think 'pulcher' is a beautiful word?

Teaching adjectives as opposites makes sense. Every child can understand and learn these Latin sentences. This is part of my attempt at prioritizing semantics (meaning) over morphology (form). Wish me luck! 🤠 I generated the cartoons using AI.

Do Christians need to study the pagans? If you want to read the New Testament in Greek, isn't Homer just a waste of time? Here's what Basil of Caesarea (aka Basil the Great) says in his "Address to Young Men on the Right Use of Greek Literature": "We must be conversant with
