My bit of a rest might have come to a close, but I’m still not able to devote all my time to preparing for Greek class. There’s been a development…
My son David flew into Auckland Airport two days ago to begin a two month visit to Godzone. He’s 17, lives in Glasgow, Scotland with his mum and brothers—and I haven’t seen him in over 6 years. Needless to say, this will distract me greatly. Let me apologise in advance: Sorry all, but again you’ll have to wait till late Saturday to get the next Lesson notes!
Last Sunday’s class went off without a hitch. Larry and Joc didn’t have any problems with the magic world of the Greek Present Indicative or the conjugation pattern of the –ω verbs. Even the movable nu made sense. So now everyone is set to tackle the slightly different –εω verbs and learn the paradigm form of 1st declension nouns.
Sandy also had time at the end of class to give a quick lesson on memorisation…but I can’t remember how that went.
Okay, I’ve added the latest Why Learn Greek and will get Lesson 7 up sometime today. Happy reading!
Oh, one more thing—I forgot to post Colleen’s latest championship time in the Mangawhai run/walk last Sunday. Despite freezing wind and driving rains she pulverised the 9km course in 1 hour, 11 minutes and 31 seconds. Outstanding! Well done, Colleen.
God bless,
Ἰακωβος
