And for individual learning on one's own I would also suggest the Greek
course put out by Cambridge University Press (also for classical Greek).
And Chuck's(?) comment that classical Greek is not that far from Koine is
right on target. Any suggestion that Koine--by which people on this list
too often mean Greek in the NT, an extremely short-sighted view-- is
somehow or other a unique language without continuity with the whole
history of Greek is just plain wrong. It deserves to be banished from
b-greek into Limbo. Pardon the homiletical comment, possibly preaching to
the choir.
