You’d think I was addicted
June 9th, 2007
I got myself another Koine Greek grammar book. This one was on the church discount new-but-scratch-and-dent cart, so I at least got a good deal on it. It’s been fun finding so many additional Koine Greek resources lately (like the free iTunesU classes I noted earlier), but it can be a little confusing.
Each of these authors and teachers brings their unique perspective to understanding the language, and sometimes their little memory trick or their explanation serves to mess up something I had solid in my head.
But far more often it just reinforces “Oh yeah, I know that,” and sometimes there’s just a little turn of the phrase that gels something together I hadn’t had together before. Which is nice.
The grammar is coming along pretty nicely for me, and I think I have charting mostly figured out (both grammatical and syntactical), so the big thing I’d like to nail in the next months is vocabulary.

Help me son. I’m aging and I need to know the ‘pure’ meanings in the Word. Keep it simple, tell it slowly, with a smile and a soft tone. Carry on. Good job. You amaze me! Lovingly, Your fan.

Since your learning sooooooooo much stuff about grammar, you should post mini chapters of humorous story by you. Just a thought.
