Hi, I just registered, after reviewing the "Little Greek's" page to see what he recommends for a dictionary / Lexicon. Decided I might enjoy joining the list.
I'm married with children -- my husband and I have three beautiful teenage daughters that still enjoy talking and spending time with us!
Last September once of my daughter's friend's enrolled in Bible College, and told me he was talking Biblical Greek. I was overwhelmed with a feeling of envy -- thinking that I couldn't go to college (anymore) and have the time and luxury to learn Biblical Greek in an institute of higher learning...
But then it occurred to me that anyone can learn anything they set their mind to learn, especially with the resources on the Internet.
I'll be eternally grateful to Jonathon Robie for his excellent Little Greek 101. It's the best primary learning course I've come across ( I keep coming back to his when I get tangled up in other courses' complicated teachings).
I use apps on my smartphone DroidX daily to build vocabulary, having become overwhelmed with the challenges of learning the grammatical essentials. I look up - almost daily -- bible verses in Greek using, on http://www.biblios.com, using the http://www.apostolic.interlinearbible.org, which shows up on my droid with Strong numbers and terrific study helps.
It's so rich to dig into the deeper essence of the meanings in Greek! My most recent epiphany was to contemplate the fact that the word , χρηστός means both KIND and USEFUL!
That was so profound!
Cheers,
