Learning Greek Part 3: Between First & Second Year Greek

1/12/2012

4 Comments

 
In the first post of this series I wrote about where to start with learning Greek, namely the first year. So once you are done with first year Greek, where do you go from there? Well before jumping head first into second year Greek grammar, I have a few suggestions that should help to bridge the gap between the first and second year, between beginning and intermediate Greek.

Between 1st and 2nd Year:
This is a great time to review year one grammar as well as introduce yourself into newer aspects of more intermediate grammar.

A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek – William D. Mounce
This workbook from Bill Mounce works through numerous passages or chapters of Scripture by increasing level of difficulty. It also introduces you directly to more advanced grammar and vocabulary, simply by reading the text.

It's Still Greek to Me - David Alan Black
This provides a good introduction into and transition from first year Greek into more intermediate second year Greek.

Vocabulary:
Take this time and try to nail down the words you learned in year one.

Complete Vocabulary Guide to the Greek New Testament – Warren C. Trenchard
This is a great book which gives you literally everything you will ever need for vocabulary. Keep using the Vocabulary Cards but start incorporating this book as well.
 
Read Read Read:
At this time it is recommendable to read as much as you can of the GNT. Reading will help to cement the grammar and vocabulary that you learned in the first year, and at the same time introduce you to new vocabulary.

Hey brother,

I'm liking these new posts. Very helpful indeed! I'll be sure to link over to them. The added resources are very helpful. I love having a little "bibliography" for where to turn for certain resources.

Hey John,

I'm glad they are helpful. I have 3 more to put up soon, maybe more after that. After 2nd year I am going to try and branch out from Grammar and include other helpful things, some of which may be repeats, edits, or updates from past posts but which apply to this series.

As always, ideas are welcome. I added your site to the revamped NTG Resources page.

Greek Quotes:

Another result when pastors do not study the Bible in Greek and Hebrew is that they, and their churches with them, tend to become second-handers. The harder it is for us to get at the original meaning of the Bible, the more we will revert to the secondary literature. For one thing, it is easier to read. It also gives us a superficial glow that we are “keeping up” on things. And it provides us with ideas and insights which we can’t dig out of the original for ourselves. - John Piper

Not only is this the only well from which we can draw the original force and meaning of the words and phrases of divine utterance, but also those languages (Hebrew & Greek) possess a weight of their own – a vividness which brings home to the understanding fine shades of meaning with power which cannot survive the passage into another tongue. - John Owen
