I just want to float the idea here of something I have tried more than once to get up and running, but never really gotten the uptake. But essentially I would really love to get a reading-group / masterclass going that read Greek Patristic texts. It’s hard work once you’re out of the beginner stage, and even the intermediate stage, to go on and work through original texts, and it’s much more fun, not to mention advantageous, to do so together. My thoughts at this stage are that this would not be run as a communicative, in-Greek class; that it would be a regular, standing 60 or 90min class, and that I’d try to keep the price quite low to reduce the barrier to entry, and to encourage it to be more than just me and one other person.
If this would interest you, please do get in touch!
Yes, I’d be interested. I’ve been doing a reading class on St Augustine’s Confessions for the past few years. I’d like to find something similar in Greek. My reading comprehension of Greek is probably intermediate. I’m a retiree who tries to read the classics in retirement.
Thanks Barry,
