Learning Greek Part 1 - Getting Started

This is a much needed update of a series of articles from 2012. When I began studying Greek, this is what I recommended. There have been new resources released since then, and some offering more simplified approaches. I hope to share help make your journey as easy as possible. It can be daunting learning a new language, and many people burn out and quite because they do not know where to start. You may not see your favorite grammar listed here (Mounce, Black, Decker, Harris, Campbell, etc). That does not mean that I am opposed to them, only that in my experience, I now believe that the following grammar is the best for most people.

If you follow this plan, you will be ready to jump in and start reading portions of the GNT.
