Re: How to study languages

Thanks Barry. I guess I am torn between studying to read the Greek, and studying about Greek. I probably favour the latter even more than the former and they don’t quite seem to have the same way of measuring progress.

Re: What B-Greek does best

I think the quality of response here is generally more in depth than on facebook. Facebook is useful for a quick and easy response, but the quick nature of adding a response means people can spend less thought in giving that feedback.
