What language to teach my kids...

I have several "teach yourself ancient greek" books, but I stall somewhere around chapter three or so. I work better when I have a more structured environment and the feedback of a live teacher, particularly for something like language acquisition.

I'm the same way with Ancient Egyptian... I always stall out. (The Oriental Insitute at the University of Chicago has a correspondence course, but I already have the textbook they use, and I've never felt like paying the course fee to have somebody take me through it by mail. Tho it's possible that if I did pay I'd be more diligent about it.)

Reading Stern is a lot more of a struggle than it used to be.

Oh yeah, I love Stern. My favorite was when he had the cheerleaders and the strippers on teams playing trivial pursuit against each other.
