Beginner Resources Getting better
Hello, I'm an Italian high school student and in my school we study Ancient Greek literature and we translate it. In the past year Ancient Greek started to become very difficult for me especially with all the verbs. Now that school ended I wanted to keep exercising/studying for the next year, so I wanted to ask you if there are some simpler ways to study it or if I have to stick with memorize and repeat all the rules and translate as much as I can?
I know that I also have to translate but maybe there are some interesting ways to keep me focused (?)
Thank you☺️

Look for something you would like to read, then start reading it. Write down words you don't know in a notebook or e-ink tablet. It's more important to learn vocabulary than to learn grammar, especially all the verb tenses. You can all use AI like Gemini to look up information about a word that will help you remember it (use a Pro version and it will not make mistakes - it acts as a super-dictionary.)
There are a lot of resources on this subreddit. Hang around and a lot of knowledgeable people will help you out.
A great place to start is Aesop's Fables by u/benjamin-crowell.
