Coming back to classroom sayings...

The back few pages of Randall Buth's 'Living Koine Greek' Part 2-a list Greek terms for grammar and parsing; that could make for some fast Q&A; "How many words in this sentence? How many letters in this word? How many words in the Genitive case?" (ἠ γενικὴ πτῶσις), etc.

Great idea, Nigel. The key to successfull Q.&A. in Greek is having something to do talk about (like a text) and having very easy questions. I'll try your approach with my various conversational groups.

Next semester I'll be teaching an online Greek class, and I want to get the students seeing and reading as much Greek as possible.
I'd like it to be as close as possible to what Greek children might see on a school webpage, rather than something I cobble together myself.
So I'd be interested to hear from a native Greek speaker, what phrases (either modern or koine) one would use for :

Beginning Greek (as a course title)
Week
Report
Assignment
Chapter xxx Section xxx
Writing Practice
Write out the Greek text by hand, while saying the Greek aloud.
Check here when done ___
Add the vocabulary words to your stack of flash-cards.
Go through the stack once, Greek to English
Go through the stack once, English to Greek, if time permits
During the day, go through your Flashcards, Greek to English
During the day, go through your Flashcards, English to Greek
Drill the Practice Sentences until you can do them easily.
Sentences for reading and translation
Read aloud and translate the sentences
Write out the Declension of . .
Chant the Declension of . .
Write out the conjugation of . . .
Chant the conjugation of . . .
In your GNT, read Mark 1:11 aloud several times
Without referring to an English Bible, write out your translation of this passage
Now look at the passage in the KJV, and compare it to your translation.
What corrections might you make to your translation
Are there any things you have a question about
Make a note here of any questions you may have
Review and Consolidation
Review the forms of . . .
Review Chapter . . .

Thank you so much,

Open this web site. Carl Conrad has supplied the English version of an older work giving classical Greek equivalents for many English/German phrases. Mutatis mutandis many would be useful also in koine Greek. Ed Krentz
