Haha, especially 'cause Greek is much harder than Russian! I can't actually take credit for the idea. When I took Ancient Greek in college, my first year professor was all about learning the paradigms, which in a lot of ways was good for an intro class. When I go to my second year (when we were doing for real readings), that professor didn't teach us forms really, just gave us clues; things like "if you see a syllable repeated followed by a kappa, that's probably a perfect tense." The book I'm using now seems to take a similar approach, and again, it really makes way more sense in this context. It's also more like how we actually learn languages naturally.
