[B-Greek] Questions

Oscar,

You would probably get more help on the first two items at the translation
list, but I've lost my link to that one.  Someone else here will probably
help.

On the fourth item, it might help to know where in the Philippines you live.
Some parts have more resources available than do others.  If I understand
correctly to what you refer as the "tools-approach," you will probably get a
large number here who will question the value of such "training."  But there
are resources out there which will help in the training, assuming the
Greek-English tools are readily available.

Are the ones you working with very fluent in English?  Will they be using
what the glean out of the Greek in an English environment, or will they be
trying to bring the knowledge gained over into Filipino or another dialect?

I guess you can see how even this question borders more on the translation
issue rather than the strictly "b-greek" topics.

Yours,

Paul Zellmer
