Wow, things are really picking up speed. There is three weeks left in the quarter and the stress is starting to mount. I feel somewhat comfortable with the material. Well, I feel comfortable with parsing just about everything. At this point it is getting the vocabulary to stick and translating. I’ve finally turned the corner on homework taking 2-3 hours to complete. Now, I can get it done in around 1.5 hours or less. It still takes me a few days to grasp the material. Other than that another week of Greek slapping me in the face on a exam. Yet, I’m doing well on the quizzes. Still sticking to studying as much as possible to make it work in my head. The studying has got to pay off with retention at some point. My hope is it will be during the qualifier and Greek Readings.
Material covered this week.
Chapter 24: Miscellanea 3
Chapter 25: Focus upon Result/”Perfect” Tense Verb Forms
Chapter 26: Pluperfect Verb Forms, Principal Parts, and Indirect Discourse.
Chapter 27: Liquid Verbs, and the Third Principal Part of Baivw and yivwskw
Chapter 28: The Subjunctive Mood of the Verb, Part 1
We’ve been hearing our classmates who have taken Greek before bring up pluperfect. I have come to dislike the term Pluperfect now. So, it is weird to have finally covered the material. Notice that was Chapter 27, there is 42 chapters in our textbook.
