Any Helpful Tips?

I wonder if anyone has any helpful tips for new greek students.

Here are a few things that have helped me, maybe they will help others. It would be nice to add to this list, so please comment if you have found something helpful.

1.) The iota subscript in the Dative case. For the longest time i never noticed that in the Dative case there is always an iota in the definate article. Sometimes it's as a subscript (in the singulars) but even in the plurals it is there.

2.) The "v" in the Accusative. Kind of like the iota in the Dative.

3.) My wife came up with this one. I used to be confused between the case of the direct object and the case of the indirect object. When i am accused of something, i want to confront my accuser directly. So the accusitive case is the case of the direct object.

The indirect object is the other one, namely the dative case.

4.) I always remember Jim saying in class one day, "By the time we're done with Greek, we'll oWN genative plural." A good way to remember the Omega Nu ending on genative plural nouns.

5.) Can't sleep at night? Try running through your paradigms in your head. A great way to make the most of your time.

Got any more?
