Progress log
This is a log of my efforts to analyze texts, and in the process learn solid grammar and syntax. This is how I have learned to deal with ancient texts: First I underline the verbs Then I circle the words that introduce secondary sentences Then I find objects, subjects, participles etc. That is a pre...

Best way to start
I have been asking myself how to start getting into koine greek. Should I use a "ready" method, like a textbook or something? Should I start reading and analyzing the biblical texts right away? If so, which text would you recommend? The poll is just for fun :) I'd like to hear some advice,...
