In this episode I'm talking with Angela Taylor who produces the Alpha with Angela YouTube channel. We talk about how she began learning Greek and spend most of the episode talking about Alpha with Angela and what it takes to produce a series like it. Alpha with Angela is a free Comprehensible Input based series that assumes little to no prior knowledge of Greek and uses no English in the videos. As such its meant to make Greek accessible to anyone regardless of their current languages and background. It's a great series and I hope you'll enjoy learning more about it and the person who produces it.

In this episode I talk about Cognitive Load Theory and what I think are some of its implications and applications for us as language learners.

Some thoughts on the Iverson method for vocabulary learning. It's a quick, simple wordlist based approach and I think it may have some potential to fit into a CI based learning routine. Links YouTube: Language Learning 1: NJL Iversen's Wordlist method

In this interview I'm talking with Leigh Cobley, but you probably know him better as Leandros Corieltauvorum. He's one of the two people behind The Ancient Greek Podcast. Leigh didn't start out learning Greek in formal classes. He started through language exchanges or intercâmbios. We talk about the importance of motivation and community to language learning, being comfortable being uncomfortable, and the importance of patience and recognizing that learning language is like being on a journey.

In this episode I talk with Kevin Grasso, one of the founders of Biblingo. Kevin's story is a bit different than some of the other people I've interviewed. He started out trying to apply communicative methods early on. Now, he's also trying to bring insights from general linguistics into the Koine Greek world. We talk about second language acquisition theory and how this applies to learning ancient languages. There some really great stuff in here.

If you're reading the GNT, STEPBible makes it really easy to figure out if a word is worth learning or not by making word frequency info easy to find. Here's how.
In this episode, I talk with Andrew Morehouse. Andrew's a high school Latin and Ancient Greek teacher. He's also one of the founders of Latinitas Animi Causa, a site offering resources as well as classes in Ancient Greek and Latin. Tune in for a great conversation about his Greek journey. We also talked about about how Second Language Acquisition research affects how we approach learning Greek, the need for compelling input, shadowing, using resources for all their worth, and Loki even makes an appearance. Andrew is also one of the hosts of the Ἑλληνιζώμεθα podcast alongside of Seumas Macdonnald.

In this episode I talked with Michael Halcomb. A Greek professor, pastor, podcaster, and one of the founders of GlossaHouse. This was a great conversation, especially if you're learning Greek in a class or program that doesn't use communicative based methods. Michael shares how he incorporated more natural and communicative methods into the courses he took when he was first learning Greek. Michael has been a voice for communicative based teaching and resources for a while.

In this episode I'm talking with Jenny and Rogelio of Tridos Trivium about their journey into Ancient Greek.
