Lingua Graeca per se Illustrata

Post by bcdavasconcelos »

I looked for references to this website on the forum, but couldn't find any. There are some interesting materials freely available. I don't know if it is a ongoing project. I surely hope it is.

A book from the same author was also published recently. It is called Dialogos:
http://www.culturaclasica.com/lingualat ... graeca.htm

I have not worked through the book yet, but from what I have seen the dialogue are pretty easy and simple (simpler than anything on the "lingua graeca per se" website) and the main focus is to increase vocabulary (plenty of vocabulary in it).

A work in progress?

Lingua Graeca per se Illustrata

https://seumasjeltzz.github.io/LinguaeG ... llustrata/
LGPSI is an open-ended collaborative project to develop sets of graded reading that guide learners from the beginning to a reading proficiency in ancient Greek (initially Koine, eventually expanding into Attic, Homer, and Byzantine).

Collaborations, Corrections, Feedback, and Spin-offs all welcome.

Yes, it's been an on-and-off of the author for years.

He said in a recent update he hope to work on LGPSI more in 2023.

Are anyone interested in forming a study group and peruse MacDonalds' LGPSI-draft and/or the new Spanish LGPSI here in the summer months?

I am about to buy the Spanish version, but it would be most fun if we were a couple of folks meeting online to go through it.
Write to me here or on chvrangbaek(at)gmail.com then I’ll suggest a reading plan.
Corrige quod corrigendum est, quaeso!

Yeah that sounds fun. I've done I think 9 chapters of Spanish LGPSI (but happy to redo them for solidifying), IMO it's starting to get less 'per se illustrata'. Before this chapter I could basically understand everything without searching up in the dictionary, but now I find myself searching all the time.

I've actually switched to making Athenaze my main for now because I'm taking MacDonald's class which is going well so far. But more Greek = good, so happy to do either Spanish or Macdonald LGPSI so long as the commitment isn't too great.

No, although there's a discord server where people are working through that book together

Oh! Do you know what it’s called? I’ve been doing it on my own and would love to find others to do it with.
