Yeah but Greek is also good and it will make you better at learning Sanskrit. You can begin learning Latin on a mere whim, then move onto Greek and Sanskrit on a velleity. But a dilettante who tries to learn Sanskrit, from scratch, without good reason for doing so is apt to give up, I'd imagine.

How long did it take you to start to read Plato and Homer?

I'm studying some Latin and can read some classical poetry provided I read a translation first, but it's quite difficult because of the grammar, I have a hard time memorizing all the declensions.

>>14999999
Checked

>>15000407
Well, I learned the basics of Greek over a summer and took a course where we read the Symposium in the fall. Plato is significantly easier for a beginner than Homer though. By the sound of it, it might take you a bit longer though--I don't mean to be condescending, but grammar was never a difficulty and always a pleasant diversion for me.

>>15000457
Well, the grammar is not difficult per se, but I am finding it a little bit unusual to study it first. I never had to bother with the grammar when learning a language before (I learned English through osmosis and the other languages I know are romance, so it's the same grammar as my native one), and I am finding it somewhat boring.

Did you just memorize all the declensions or did you read through a textbook like Mastronarde? Is there any textbook you recommend over the others? I am trying to memorize everything at once because I wish to learn it fast.

With Latin it's much easier because the vocab. is very similar to my native tongue, so I can memorize poetry and listen to music in order to help it, but with Ancient Greek it's a different matter, since I can't really make sense of the poems yet.

WHO IS SHE

>>14999999

>>15000505
Yeah, the process of learning a classical language is very different from that of learning a living one lol. Trust me though, it's easier that way. I learned Latin grammar out of this weird common-domain book from the 1920s and that worked out fine for me, but another one I've seen used is Wheelock's Latin. I'm sure you can find copious discussion about the best textbook online though. I would just say: don't assume that you will arrive at a fluent understanding of the texts from your knowledge of cognates alone, and find something with a robust set of excercises without being tedious. As Nietzsche said, one of the chief virtues that a study of the classics inculcates is the ability to read slow, giving every part of the text its due attention. So take the opportunity to enrich your understanding of the language you use every day by means of this grammar. And yes, remembering things like declensions and conjugations becomes second nature after only a short while, but you need to put in the work first.

I'll add that, with Greek, you need to be prepared not only for less obvious vocabulary, but also a MUCH less regular grammar that, funnily enough, you kind of just need to get a feel for through something like "osmosis," in the form of doing lots of exercises and reading lots of texts. The Greek verb, especially, is a system of exceptions within exceptions (think of German verbs if German had three moods, three voices, three numbers, and five tenses).

Thankfully with Sanskrit you get the return of regularity, but it's just such a vast and deep system that you could easily spend a decade mastering it fully.

>>15000457
Liking grammar means you are an autistic moon brain

>>15000538
Most books will teach Koine since Attic is a dialect. "Epic" doesn't really exist as a dialect, but Homeric Greek is probably not the best place to start even if you're end goal is Homer because some of the grammar and vocabulary you will encounter in Homer doesn't appear elsewhere with any frequency (for example the dual).

Lumping Arabic in with the rest is a meme, for several reasons. For one, it's not nearly as old as them ("Classical" Arabic is from the 600sAD, the rest are all 200BCish). Secondly, there is absolutely zero worth in studying Arabic unless you're interested in Islam to an autistic level. If you are, I'm sorry for your brain damage and poor choice of hobby.

>>15002201
Latin? Classical. You learn Latin to read things by men who worshiped Jupiter and spoke the language naturally, nobody learns Latin to read things by nerds in a monastery. The Latin they would have used would have just been applying their language's phonology to Latin anyways ("een no-meen pay-try eet speerit-uh sanktae, ay-men"), and what really matters is their ideas, which translation conveys just fine (You don't have to read William of Ockham in Latin to understand his ideas).

Greek? Whatever the proper pronunciation of the variety you're learning is. Classical? Classical. Koine? Koine. Byzantine? Byzantine. Ottoman? Ottoman. Modern? Modern.

>>15001950
>>15002232
Learning Akkadian over more important and fruitful languages like Greek, Sanskrit, Latin, etc. makes absolutely no sense unless you're insanely obsessed with Mesopotamia.

What about Coptic though? It's still a living language, but nearing extinction.

>>15002266
Counterpoint: There is no Semitic equivalent to Dumezil's works, and the Semitic world as a whole is essentially a mystery. It doesn't have to be this way; be the change you want to see in the world.

They all have their ups and downs really.
Problem with reconstructions imo is:
1. There will always be disagreements as to how it actually was and when.
2. It's nearly impossible to get pre-Koine accents and lengths correctly, you need a ton of training.

I ordered Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata. Should be coming in a few days. Can’t wait. I’m also using Wheelock’s Latin on my kindle.

How is it that you are not fluent in your native language?

>>15002201
Using the classical pronunciation for Latin will make the language harder. Using the modern pronunciation for Greek will make the language harder.

>>15002309
You're... not fluent in your native language? What? Is it even strictly possible to define something as someone's native language if they aren't fluent in it?

>>15002322
Not that guy, but a lot of the time when you emigrate to a different country, say, it can happen. I know a guy who grew up speaking gaelic, but hasn't spoken it since he was like 10 and had to go back and relearn a lot of it recently.

>>15002325
>Using the modern pronunciation for Greek will make the language harder.
Not even close to true. Iotacism and the silence of virtually all diacritical marks makes reading Greek a breeze.

>>15002326
>A first language, native language or mother/father/parent tongue, is a language that a person has been exposed to from birth or within the critical period. In some countries, the term native language or mother tongue refers to the language of one's ethnic group rather than one's first language.
Native language doesn't necessarily mean most often spoken, it just refers to the language you adopted at birth. Plenty of people forget their native language, I actually had a Lithuanian friend who is barely conversational in it.

>>15002325
Learning Latin is absolutely not harder using the classical pronunciation.

>>15002322
>>15002326
Native language just means first language, or the language you were exposed to in the period of youth where your brain is most pliable. What people call the “critical period” for language acquisition.
I was born in Lithuania and spoke it until I emigrated with my family as a child.

>>15002338
Yes it is true, because modern Greek only has five vowel sounds, so many of the vowels, diphthongs, etc. end up getting pronounced the same, so knowing how to spell words ceases to be phonetic and becomes much harder.
>>15002344
It is because you have to memorize all vowel quantities which would only otherwise be relevant in the penultimate syllable for stress determination.

>>15002364
>It is because you have to memorize all vowel quantities
Textbooks will even tell you to memorize vowels with hidden quantity even though this has no practical value for anything other than LARPing as a Roman.

>>15002364
Simply not true - yes there's a difference between words like ānus, anūs and annus. But to say that makes it difficult is just ridiculous.

>>15002389
I'm referring to memorizing all of the vowel quantities for thousands of words, not the most simple example you can think of. If you're concerned with classical metrical scansion it would be necessary, but not everyone may be interested in that.

>>15002201
Naturally koine. The best literature is written in it.

>>15002409
You can get a well edited copy of the text, or get one without and mark the macrons in yourself. Use something like the Per Se Illustrata series as a reference.

My use of those words is to make the point that very similar but different words rely on macrons for sense, so it's best to memorise words like that. After that it's child's play, but when speaking it ... everyone makes mistakes in their native language, so I wouldn't worry about it.

>>14999999

What does everyone think of Lingua Graecia per se Illustrata? It's an internet project for learning Ancient Greek via the natural method - obviously based on Lingua Latina.

>>15001255
>no Old Church Slavonic
What a pleb.

>>15002429
Have you studied Latin very much? With words like ānus/anus, when you read an actual Latin text that isn't in a beginner's book, the vowel quantities are not marked. The fact that you know there are two different pronunciations which mean different things, well, it isn't going to help you because (at least in the nominative) they're going to look exactly the same and you're going to have to tell the difference from context or inflection. Knowing the quantities is meaningless outside of metrical scansion.

>>15002517
Similarly with, for example, the 1st decl. sing. abl. case, which is -ā. This isn't going to be marked in modern Latin editions, so knowing that it's pronounced with long quantity is meaningless since it's going to look the same as the nominative and you're going to have to figure out that it's the ablative from the context.

>>15002517
Yeah, I have. I always try to add the macrons on my copies of the texts with a pencil. When I was studying Virgil, that was basically the first thing I did. I'm an autist.

>>15002547
If this is the sort of thing that you're concerned with, then it's a good idea to learn vowel quantities -- I'm not condemning it wholesale. But for most people this only erects an unnecessary barrier that makes the language harder and more alien for no benefit whatsoever. It's no surprise that its study is primarily relegated to classics departments today, as it's treated as a historical artifact.

>>15002492
Obviously lacks graphic illustration

Guys, remembering the vowel quantities isn't even hard. Just do jt

>>15002486
Not sure about websites (there are some contain lessons, can't name them but you can find them easily), but you can just download a textbook from LibGen.
textkit.com has resources.

>>15002555
Yeah, I get what you mean. Ultimately I guess I can say learning Latin using the classical pronunciation doesn't make it any, (or I guess much) harder - that's been my experience anyway.

I'm not terribly interested in saying every word perfectly, I'm not that much of an autist. Just so long as it aids sense. I've found not a huge amount of words have absolutely needed me adding macrons anyway.

I think they should make the use of macrons a standard in Latin books, but whatever.

>>14999999

The wikipedia page on Akkadian literature unironically gives a great overview of the corpus.

Not really - Assyriology has pretty steadily been an extremely obscure academic field since the late 19th century.
>>15002266
>being interested in the earliest corpus of literature (if you're counting Sumerian, which you should, because Akkadian represents an intimate continuum and symbiosis with that language) makes no sense
Intellectual curiosity always makes sense, imo.
>Akkadian isn't as important as the mentioned languages
Historically, this is simply wrong. Akkadian was the lingua franca of the Late Bronze Age Middle East, and there are direct antecedents in the writings of that language to Greek and Hebrew texts.
>>15002282
I would not call the Semitic world a 'mystery' per se, but it is definitely extremely underresearched compared to the classical one.

>>15002941
Well, Akkadian was historically an important language in the Bronze Age Middle East indeed (Greek also became that), but I don't think it has any Homer, Plato, the New Testament etc. tier important texts as Greek does. In any case, you did convinceme to take a glance at 'Introduction to Akkadian', just to get a taste of it.

>>15002998
>but I don't think it has any Homer, Plato, the New Testament etc. tier important texts
In a sense, this is true - but some of the most essential texts were born from earlier Akkadian/Sumerian texts. I think it misrepresents the importance of this stage in literature/thought to dismiss it, because it does not have directly world-altering texts. The wisdom books of the old testament are Mesopotamian, Hesiod is Mesopotamian, Arabic debate literature is Mesopotamian etc. It is important not because it created the texts that stood the test of time (well, Gilgamesh survived for over 2000-years, so we'll have to see what happens with the NT), but because their writings influenced these texts. I will concede the point about them not having a Plato-like (their Homer was Gilgamesh, Erra and Ishum, Enuma Elish).

I will also concede that the nascent writings of the human species interest me greatly (and perhaps irrationally), so i have a tendency to see value in them because of their formative nature.

Does anyone have recommendations of books or other resources for learning Greek?

>>15002998

>>15006064
Attic > Homeric > any other ancient dialects you'd like > Koine > Modern
Ancient dialects are most difficult and Attic is useful because of its peculiarities, making other dialects a bit easier to learn after Attic

>>15006083
So obviously I'd learn the easier dialect first, right?

>>15001996
I just started like 2 weeks ago so I only know like 500 words

>>15006089
Attic isn't significantly harder than the other dialects and forms, it's useful to learn first because it gets you a firm basis in the language and see how the language has changed overtime, at least that's what I think.

>>15006210
Yeah that guy probably doesn't know anglo-saxon

>>15002492
I'll be interesting to see how it turns out

>>15006064
i remember deka glossai saying to learn modern greek to a fairly good level (like a year or two of study) and then move backwards. This sounds pretty reasonable. Intuition tells us that a speaker of English will likely comprehend, say, Old English better than a non-English speaker. However, obviously nobody except the spergiest of language nerds will work backward from Modern Greek to Byzantine etc etc to Homer -- 99.99% of people would give up. The main benefit to knowing or learning modern greek before ancient is that you have access to extensive reading. You'd be suprised how much structural similarity Greek has maintained. In order to truly know a language to need to get accustomed to not only vocab+grammar, but also the manner in which, within those rules, the language-speakers express themselves. Extensive reading in ancient greek is not really possible, for reasons I could spend too much time on. But, this would be an ideal case, and unless you already have some motive to learn modern greek, I find it unlikely that you'll be diligent in study for 2 years or whatever when you don't really care.

Other people in the thread have said this too but you should first learn the dialect in which you want to read the most. Koinē for the New Testament, Attic for most extant drama and philsophy (although you'll want to get the idea of reading Plato out of your head for awhile -- that's far in the future).

It's a noble goal to want to be able to read Greek, and many have had it, but few succeed because they underestimate the amount of time you need to put in. You'll have to be okay with telling yourself that it will be a good couple years before you can just pick up a text, even an easy one, and understand most of it.

First of all I'm humbled, but a word to the wise, this is not like fucking German, Spanish or English, this is a monstrously hard language that not even native Greeks can speak properly. You need years and true dedication to even reach a basic level of understanding. Ancient Greek is even harder than modern because it holds on to all the complex forms that were cut as aeons progressed for simplicity.

It's an incredibly rewarding language though, you can really start appreciating the progression of European history and languages by learning it, as well as all the true meanings used by sciences such as biology or mathematics.

>>15001205
Basic textbooks teach Ionio-Attic actually, the language of the great Classics, imitated by Atticists under Rome, so by far the best to learn; Koine is what you'd find in grammars of New Testament Greek e.g; (and I'm not even going to enter into the debates around the word itself...)
