Vocabulary Pictures

Using my flashcard program, I'm about to begin creating a flashcard deck that is based on images, where the goal is to identify the image using the Greek word, as opposed to identifying the Greek word with the English gloss. I begun studying some French and have an app on my iPhone and iPad of basic...

The Ideal Biblical Greek Program

Let's assume you had control of the full cycle of Greek classes at a university or seminary, covering the Intro to Greek I and II, intermediate I and II, and advanced Greek I and II. If we lived in the ideal world and attended the ideal school with the ideal Greek curriculum, what would those classe...
