Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that I am taking a break this weekend, and so Greek Lesson 86 will be out next Sunday instead of this Sunday. Thank you all so much for your support - whether that’s through comments, emails, or BMAC; I appreciate it all so much, and I will be back to making lessons next weekend! 🫡 Best wishes, David
Hey everyone! Lesson 83 is so close to being done but just requires a few finishing touches, and so it will be out tomorrow instead of today. Sorry for the delay! In the meantime, please ensure that you know the formation of the passive in each tense well, because tomorrow we are meeting the MIDDLE voice (which is largely identical to the passive in formation). Best wishes! David
Hi there everyone, just a heads up that Lesson 82 won’t be out until tomorrow night (BST) at the earliest - just finished filming it and now I have almost two hours of footage to edit! 🤯😂 Hopefully that will be closer to an hour or an hour and a half after editing. Best wishes, David
Hey everyone, thank you all so much for your lovely comments and messages - I really appreciate all of them and I aim to get back to as many messages as I can in the coming week. Also, I am indeed still editing Lesson 81, which I can now confirm should (God/fate/the universe/chance willing) be out tomorrow afternoon or evening BST; sorry for the delay. In the meantime, here’s a pic of *both* of my beloved ratties together 🐀🐀 Best wishes
Hi there :) I just wanted to say that Lesson 81 will be out by Sunday night (BST) at the earliest and Monday night at the latest, since it has turned out to be a lesson of GARGANTUAN length in terms of the raw footage (despite my expectations given its rather rare subject matter). However, in the meantime, I have attached a photo of my rat Weems for you to behold. He sometimes chomps but he is adorable and I love him and his non-chompy brother Larry very much. Best wishes, David
Hey everyone! I have just reuploaded Lesson 80 because I have made a small change to it, namely: in the first version of the video, I said that you could have -γαται, -καται, or -χαται in the third-person plural for the gutturals, and similarly that you could have -βαται, -παται, or -φαται for the labials, but you can in fact only have -χαται and -φαται respectively (i.e., the consonant before the -αται ending needs to be the aspirated version of the guttural/labial). This is only a small update but I wanted to make sure that the information was as accurate as possible. There is actually a preferred way of forming the perfect indicative passive third-person plural in any case, but we shall meet that later on (once we have covered participles). Thank you to @The_Silver_Advice35 for asking a question which led me to realise that we can only have -χαται and -φαται for the gutturals and labials respectively. Sorry for the initial incorrect inclusion of the non-existent -γαται, -καται etc. All the best. David
Hey everyone, Lesson 80 will be out on Sunday rather than Saturday, and I am actually going to move all subsequent lesson releases to Sundays (i.e., every other Sunday) since that schedule seems to work better for me. Thank you all so much for your support; I wish you all the best. David
Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that Lesson 79 will be out on Monday rather than the usual Saturday, largely because the lesson footage is much longer than I had expected and I need more time to finish editing it. But the lesson - along with the updated version of the full vocab list - will be released on Monday (God/the Universe/chance willing). Thank you all and best wishes. David
