Your Greek prowess awes me !! Wanting to learn Icelandic - that's really interesting! I have a really close friend who tried to teach me some and holyfuck it's intense. Good luck <3~
*bows* :D And Icelandic looks intense! I signed up for an online self-paced course, so I just need to start dedicating a couple hours a day to it. ^^ Thank you~ <3
Good luck with the Icelandic ^^ I can't even understand the language a little, even though Swedish and Icelandic are related >.> Maybe if I was speaking Old Swedish I'd understand anything...
I've studied Spanish for six years and still can't speak it worth a damn :/ And my bitch of a teacher will lower my grade because she can't freaking teach! Half the class is failing no matter how much they study and she wonders why! "You just have to feel when to use what..." urgh!
Sorry, I'm just a tiny, tiny bit frustrated. Especially since I feel that I speak better Chinese and I've studied that for about a year...
It's ok - German and English are pretty close, but trying to read it makes me cross-eyed. :D;
Is Old Swedish really different from Modern? I know Old English and Modern English are pretty different, but then Ancient Greek's not all THAT different from Modern. ^^
There is nothing worse than a terrible teacher. Nothing. :| Good luck with that.
The spelling's really different in Old Language. The grammar has changed because we used to have plural forms of the verbs that we lost since then.
It's pretty different ^^U My grandmother gave me a book that her father bought and it's a hundred years old. She keeps asking me if I've read it, but I haven't been able to ^^U And that's just a hundred years back, but it's very difficult to read...
I took Latin the entire time I was in high school, and when I was in AP, I read the first two Harry Potter books in Latin while the rest of my class dragged through stuff like the Iliad for our independent reading projects. However, now, several years later, all I can really remember is "ecce romani!" which was the name of my textbooks. Hahaha, : )))
I have Harry Potter 1 in Ancient Greek and I've been too scared to look at it much. :'D Most of my Latin was reading dirty poetry and Cicero condemning the world. XD HP and even the Iliad sound so much better than that! But dang those are some awesome reading skills. <3
That's the textbook my brother used. I got to use Wheelock's Latin, which is rather devoid of the antics of people named Cornelia. >:(
It shouldn't be too hard! It's Harry Potter! I remember the Latin version being easy peasy because it was all really basic vocab and such. Don't be scared.
Cornelia was okay, but Sextus was my favourite because he was always pissing people off. : ))))))))
