I am starting this thread to continue our discussion with latulipenoire that started about here:
http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,31732.msg525139.html#msg525139
Ok, so the books I ordered are:
ΑΡΧΑΙΑ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΑ -ΜΕΘΟΔΟΣ ΚΑΤΑΝΟΗΣΕΩΣ
http://www.politeianet.gr/books/9789608358300-pleuris-a-konstantinos-ilektron-archaia-ellinika-150625
I chose this one because it is not a dictionary but the author is using modern greek and the etymology of words we use today to teach ancient gr.
ΒΑΣΙΚΟ ΛΕΞΙΚΟ ΑΡΧΑΙΑΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗΣ
http://www.politeianet.gr/books/9789600105131-markantonatos-gerasimos-gutenberg-basiko-lexiko-archaias-ellinikis-bibliodetimeni-ekdosi-156955

Syntax of ancient gr (is quite different than modern gr)
ΛΕΞΙΚΟ ΡΗΜΑΤΩΝ ΤΗΣ ΑΡΧΑΙΑΣ ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗΣ
http://www.politeianet.gr/books/9789604605989-pelekis-p-makarios-sabbalas-lexiko-rimaton-tis-archaias-ellinikis-bibliodetimeni-ekdosi-199870

Another ancient gr - modern gr etymological dictionary.
I don't know what to tell you about modern greek though. Perhaps any "how to learn Greek" book in english or Portuguese? I had a look on Amazon and this looks ok, it's free on kindle http://www.amazon.com/Greek-Nutshell-James-Strong-ebook/dp/B008493TW0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1412194166&sr=8-7&keywords=learn+greek
just to try it out and see how it goes.
This one promises to teach you the language in 7 days! http://www.amazon.com/Greek-Ultimate-Course-Learning-Language/dp/1500816671/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1412194166&sr=8-4&keywords=learn+greek
You already know the root language. If you tell me what it is you don't understand from any of the books or anywhere else, I will be able to help.
Anyway, I'll wait until my books are here and then I'll pick your brains if you don't mind
And of course everyone is invited to join if you are interested in this subject

latulipenoire said:Alana, you've made me curious about which dictionaries and syntax you ordered! Also, can you suggest some material on modern Greek? :)
