Materials to aid your Learning of Greek:
Ancient Greek: A Diachronic Approach
Below you will find more information about the forthcoming textbook: Ancient Greek: A Diachronic Approach (AGDA). The text is based on Gareth Morgan's Lexis system that has been in use at the University of Texas at Austin for the last forty years. James Patterson and Charles Oughton have expanded Prof. Morgan's original text considerably, adding more in depth introductory materials, new exercises, and updating and enhancing the linguistic material in the text. AGDA as it stands will be a combination of Prof. Morgan's Lexis reader and Oughton and Patterson's Prosdiasaphesis, a linguistic primer originally composed as a supplement to the Lexis method. AGDA teaches Greek using a combination of the inductive reading and diachronic linguistic methods. Due to the linguistic basis of the method, students who learn from this textbook are able to switch between dialects and read Greek from a wide range of time periods at ease. For more information on the textbook or to follow its authors: check out Charles Oughton's and James Patterson's academia.edu pages.

Learning Principal Parts (from linguistic roots)
The following worksheets detail the principal parts of a large number of important Attic verbs (organized by the order in which they appear in Plato's Apology). Each worksheet comes in two forms: one that lists all the principal parts in order and asks you to determine the ROOT(s) from which those principal parts are derived; the other gives you the ROOT(s) and asks you to form the principal parts. You can use each pair of worksheets as a key to the other.
