Flying Colours!

Well I’m about as chuffed as a teacher could be!

We had our first actual test on Sunday and everyone passed with flying colours. The test translations included many words not yet covered in class, but everyone rose to the challenge and put their newfound translation skills to the task—with excellent results.

Not that I was surprised; last week’s class exercise and all the homework assignments have painted a clear picture for me of a group of students entirely comfortable with the material.

Of course, I suspect one or two might’ve harboured a few private concerns. If so, well, this test proved those concerns unfounded!

Congratulations to all of you—Colleen, Joc, Larry, Raewyn and Trish—you translated like champions!


Okay, now that everyone’s an expert in the concept of noun and definite article declension, we’ll be changing gears for our next class—Lesson 7. We’re finally going to be looking at verbs. This means another foray into the dark and murky Land of Grammar. So bring your mining lamps and thinking caps...

Btw, I haven’t got the notes for L7 completed yet, so I’m not sure I’ll have them ready to post by Friday—if not, I’ll make sure you get them on Sunday at the start of class.

And speaking of posting, I’ve posted Lesson 6 now and added the latest Why Learn Greek to the WLG page.

God bless & congratulations again.
