Life continues on at SeumasU.

Lately I have been crunching some numbers and collating my records. This term will mark 300 classes offered at SeumasU. We have taught our core intro Greek class, 101, 28 times now. Overall, more than 3000 hours of teaching Greek and Latin as living languages since 2019, with around 300 students. I’m proud of what we’ve built here, and excited to see it develop further.

Everyone’s favourite question is always to ask about LGPSI. I’m currently committed to a writing habit of at least 100 words a day, and I’ve been working away at the early chapters. I do need some more people to join my feedback team though, so if you have an interest in providing feedback and input on the drafts of v2.0, get in touch.

Okay, on to the new round of classes.

Greek 101: Our core introductory course, 15 hours, covering Athenaze chapters 1-8.

Greek 102: Our follow-on intro course, covering Athenaze 9-16.

Greek 181: This is an intro class, working with the v2.0 of my LGPSI reader. It’s super cheap, and it’s on in the Australian evenings. You’ll read a lot of Greek, and also help in the development of this reader.

Greek 201: Athenaze, the Italian Job. This course is designed for those who have read volume 2 of Athenaze, and want to consolidate/extend their Greek. We’ll be reading only the extra sections from the Italian edition of volume 2, starting at ch 17. Each chapter is long, so we’ll be moving at a faster pace, doing more discussion of the text, and I’ll be setting some outside-class tasks for you (optional, as always).

Greek 239: Basil of wealth and slavery. A more advanced course, we’ll be reading some excerpts from two key homilies by Basil, dealing with those themes. Basil isn’t the easiest, but he’s not the hardest. Conversation and discussion will mostly be in Greek.

Latin 103: A follow-on intro course for Latin, working with Familia Romana, chs 22 onwards. This class has a slightly adjusted timetable.

Latin 245: A 9 week course in which we’ll read Minucius Felix’ Dialogue/Apologetic, Octaviua. This is a classical, rhetorically polished, Latin defence of the Christian faith.

In the meantime, I am already cooking up ideas for Term 4, and 2027. Including Thucydides in Latin, a transitional course for going from Athenaze to Homer, a Homeric reading course, the return of RPG classes, and more!
