Best online courses for achieving fluency in classical and Koine Greek?
This doesn't appear to be an active forum, but anyway, I'm thinking about signing up for an online course and I was wondering if anyone could make any suggestions or recommendations. I'm looking for something that focuses on the latest teaching methodologies and avoids GT.

Re: Best online courses for achieving fluency in classical and Koine Greek?
Hi Peter,
I cannot speak for Classical but for Koine you might look into Biblical Language Center (https://www.biblicallanguagecenter.com/). I am in their Greek 101C at present and very much enjoying it. The BLC approach is to teach Koine as a living language, involving speaking, listening, reading and writing. I have studied Koine via GT methods for a number of years. I have wanted to get a more direct feel for the language, to internalize the language to a much higher degree than I have so far. This is what BLC aims to help you do. It's all being done online with classes over Zoom.
Thx
