Greek primer colloquial and constructive - A Practical Guide to Mastering Greek Language and Culture

John Stuart Blackie

Sinopsis

In "Greek Primer, Colloquial and Constructive," John Stuart Blackie presents an innovative approach to learning ancient Greek, merging both colloquial language and structured grammatical rules. This foundational text aims to demystify the Greek language, making it accessible even to those without a strong classical background. Blackie's engaging literary style emphasizes practical usage over rote memorization, employing a variety of examples and exercises designed to cultivate a deeper linguistic intuition. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century educational reform and a burgeoning interest in classical studies, the book reflects a shift towards more pragmatic and interactive language learning methods. John Stuart Blackie was a Scottish scholar, philosopher, and poet whose passion for languages and literature fueled his scholarly pursuits. Educated at the University of Edinburgh, Blackie's extensive travels and work in academia inspired him to fill the gaps he perceived in traditional language education. His insights into the idiosyncrasies of Greek proved instrumental in crafting a text that not only teaches the language but also instills an appreciation for its cultural and intellectual heritage. "Greek Primer, Colloquial and Constructive" is an essential resource for students, educators, and language enthusiasts alike. Blackie'Äôs clear pedagogical approach and lively prose invite readers to embark on their own journey through the ancient language, making it highly recommendable for anyone seeking to explore the richness of Greek culture and literature.

Russian Made Easy - Beginner -...

Lingo Wave

We broke our new series on learning Russian down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series.
This audiobook is divided into units. While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Russian.
In Unit 1 you will hear Russian decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said.
Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Russian speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language.
By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Russian. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Russian at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Russian, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.
In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
Topics covered in this book:
1. Asking about family
2. Asking about relationship status
3. Expressing frequency
4. Talking about spare time activities and hobbies
5. Using quantifiers/determiners
6. Talking about preference

The Sayings of Lao-Tzu - An...

Lao Tzu, Lionel Giles (translator)

A prose translation of the Tao that focuses on bringing out the subtlety and depth of the classic Way.Translations of the famous Way and Virtue (Dao De Jing/Tao Te Ching) focus on the poetics and depth of the original. In contrast, Giles’ translation focuses on telling stories with the text, drawing out the nuances in a way that is more familiar to Western audiences from philosophical and religious texts.“Few can help being struck by the similarity of tone between the sayings of Lao Tzu and the Gospel enunciated six centuries later by the Prince of Peace. There are two famous utterances in particular which secure to Lao Tzu the glory of having anticipated the lofty morality of the Sermon on the Mount. The cavilers who would rank the Golden Rule of Confucius below that of Christ will find it hard to get over the fact that Lao Tzu said, "Requite injury with kindness," and "To the not-good I would be good in order to make them good." It was a hundred and fifty years later that Plato reached the same conclusion in the first book of the Republic.It is interesting to observe certain points of contact between Lao Tzu and the early Greek philosophers. He may be compared both with Parmenides, who disparaged sense-knowledge and taught the existence of the One as opposed to the Many, and with Heraclitus, whose theory of the identity of contraries recalls some of our Sage's paradoxes. But it is when we come to Plato that the most striking parallels occur. It has not escaped notice that something like the Platonic doctrine of ideas is discoverable in the "forms" which Lao Tzu conceives as residing in Tao. But, so far as I know, no one has yet pointed out what a close likeness Tao itself bears to that curious abstraction which Plato calls the Idea of the Good.”
