Books:

- The Warriners English Grammar (optional)
- Paradigm Masters Pro (optional)
Getting started…
- Work on pronouncing the entire text until you can speak it out loud and relatively smoothly.
- Now translate the text. Use the lesson notes I have provided to do this. Try to make connections between the English grammar that you already know and the Greek grammar that you are learning. What is the subject? What are the verbs? etc. If there is a preposition, . When you come across terms that you don’t understand, click and learn what they mean. Don’t worry if everything isn’t crystal clear the first time around. You will have lots of opportunities to practice. Clarity will come as you move through the lessons.
- Once this is complete, do the translation assignments.
- Take the vocabulary quiz.
- Take the grammar quiz. You will always know what is on the quiz, by consulting the quiz objectives for that particular quiz. Never take a quiz until you have learned all these objectives. Vocab and grammar quizzes are closed book.
- The last step is to review your graded quizzes. This is such a crucial step. Learn from your errors! Don’t move on until you know why you were incorrect.
As you work these lessons, don’t worry if there is much that isn’t clear. Just try to learn as much as you can, ask questions, and learn the chapter objectives. Clarity will come.
The basic procedure for each lesson is:
- pronounce,
- translate,
- translation assignment,
- quizzes,
- quiz review.
