Greek Class

I have learned the worst way to learn a language. Ingredients:

1. A notoriously difficult language with an entirely new alphabet
2. A teacher who is across the ocean for all except one week of the semester
3. An incompetent TA who waits for the teacher to return and does not do any teaching

Mix together and blend well. The result? Trying to cram Greek 101 into the single week that Elias was here. We covered 9 chapters in 4 days, similar to when we covered the first 4 before he left us in Rhodes. Meanwhile, we have learned almost nothing in our other sessions and, because we moved so fast with Elias, I was unable to retain any of the information. Mildly frustrating.
