This self-paced class is available to begin whenever you're ready!

Welcome, Recruits! By the end of this five-part course, you'll have perfected the Greek alphabet, gained the ability to directly read Greek Biblical text, and learned enough high-frequency vocabulary words to encompass more than 15% of all the words in the Greek New Testament!

Sometimes the hardest part of learning a new thing is simply getting started. So in this class we're jumping right into learning Koine (New Testament) Greek from ground zero! We'll start off with learning the letters through a repeatable and memorable alphabet chant, then move from sounds, through the nitty-gritty, and straight into reading and writing! Taught by a linguist and former college Greek lecturer, this course takes more of a natural linguistic approach to the text of the New Testament (NT), relating the "dead" language to the mechanisms and workings of languages widely still in use. Learners will internalize lessons using movement, reading aloud, listening, and tactile skills; providing a multi-faceted exposure to language learning.

Lesson One serves as an introduction to the language, familiarizing learners with the strange new letters and how they should sound. Subsequent lessons provide additional practice a few letters at a time. Printable worksheets will be provided for each letter containing: 1) a high-frequency NT noun starting with that letter, 2) a sample NT verse containing the high-frequency words for reading practice, 3) an optional coloring activity, and 4) lined pages for handwriting practice.  Class time will consist of instruction, review, reading practice, question-and-answer time, and learner-led discussion. The final lesson includes instruction and orientation on accessing the text of the New Testament online and using the tools found at Biblehub.com (a free online resource).
