Hello everyone!
I'm Bryan from out in the middle of nowhere in South Dakota (Yes, it is a state). I've been involved off and on again with Greek for the last three years. I took an informal beginning Greek class my junior year of my undergrad (we almost made it all the way through Mounce) and put Greek aside shortly after the class ended. I have over the last two years, with almost an obsession, taken up the study by myself and have been enamored by it. I've been through Mounce a few times, read Campbell's Basics of Verbal Aspect, occasioned Wallace's GGBB and am now working through Runge's Discourse Grammar along with doing translations. The majority of my time in Greek however, is spent jotting down over and over paradigms and flipping vocab cards, which in my brief time here I have learned is not the preferable method for learning Greek. I've been fascinated with more inductive approaches but I'm still not exactly how to implement them into my routine.
I think my desire to be involved with B-Greek is mainly for guidance. I know that I am quite lacking in more advanced grammatical categories and am still incompetent to critique arguments with regard to verbal aspect or DA v. Syntax kinds of things. So I come asking for help. I've already been helped hugely by what is here and greatly look forward to the coming discussions. Thanks already!
