I heart ancient Greek

[justben]

But I'm getting a little iffy on Teach Yourself Ancient Greek. I'm in chapter four, and the section exercises are moving a bit too quickly for self-study. They're also expecting the reader to memorize vocabulary that they don't exercise at all in the present section, but start using some sections later, confident that it was learned without

Damned annoying, it is.

Had a random otaku-girl asking me for a recommendation for a good Japanese self-study book, and I had to admit my rather limited knowledge of Eastern languages. Can you recommend one in case it comes up again?

Excellent. Thanks!

I wish I could remember the text that the GreekStudy list uses. I wonder if it is better. I do remember looking at the title on Amazon once and seeing that it was not one that you already own.

[justben]

Yeah, I remember that, too. I'll hafta look it up sometime. For now, though, the one that I've got is working.

Are you using a total immersion program? They use that technique a lot.

[justben]

Nope. Just a plain ol' self-teaching book. I've used some total immersion style teaching tools. They do it more gracefully. This feels accidental.
