Intro to Biblical Greek

Scope of Course: Intro to Biblical Greek is an elective course that lays the groundwork for further study of the language. The course is appropriate for middle school and high school students, though middle schoolers may find it a strong challenge. The purpose of the course is to simplify many of the basic concepts of biblical Greek and give you an edge should you continue with more advanced studies of the language. This is not structured as a typical language course. It is essentially a “starter kit” that will get you reading and understanding biblical Greek. It will not give you a daily lesson on pronunciation or practicing verb conjugation, but is instead designed to give you a working knowledge of biblical Greek, not a specific mastery of it.
