Greek I: Introduction, Audio

This is a brief audio presentation of some of the Greek words used in the introduction.  I’ve made a number of mistakes and corrected them immediately    I could say it is to give the feeling of a live class, which it does, but it also saves time.  Future audio lessons will be longer, since in the beginning I shall do the paradigms and vocabulary.

Italian II.1

A number of people have asked to continue the Italian lessons, which we shall do at a slower pace so long as there is one student.  I do ask everyone  is working on these lessons to respond to each post, if it is only to say, “Present.”

Wednesday’s Child: Christmas in Damascus

I’m not personally acquainted with Mrs. Assad, but I’m sure she’s a perfectly nice woman who just happened to be an accomplice of a historically significant war criminal. I could well have met her – she had been living in London until 2000, when she met her future husband and moved to Damascus – as I had many Arab friends at the time. The point is that accomplices of criminals, and on occasion the criminals themselves, are often perfectly nice people.
