A Note from the Author
Author Sally Teague welcomes learners to the world of biblical Greek studies in this encouraging note.
Dear Greek Scholars, I applaud you because you have committed to the difficult challenge of learning to read the New Testament in its original language. While I have worked very hard to make it possible for you to succeed in this venture, I am keenly aware of my own fallibility, and would welcome any questions. If you write to me at readntgreek@gmail.com, I will respond to you in a timely manner. Sincerely, Sally Teague |
Curriculum and Pacing
New Testament Greek: A Reading Course targets the grammar and vocabulary most frequently used in the Greek New Testament. Upon completing Levels 1 and 2, learners will be well-equipped to read the New Testament in its original language. Explicit instruction in language-learning techniques and tools, such as the use of a lexicon, empowers students to be successful in their endeavors.
A flexible approach means that this series can fit many different educational settings: the student textbooks feature a multitude of exercises, drills, and readings. Instructors or self-learners can easily select tasks most appropriate for their needs. Student workbooks offer additional practice, perfect for high school students, homeschoolers, or anyone who wants to delve more deeply into the material.
Each level contains twelve units divided into four chapters each, for a total of forty-eight chapters per textbook. We recommend that more advanced learners, such as those in college or postgraduate studies, spend about one week covering each unit—roughly one chapter per day. Following this pace, students can expect to complete Levels 1 and 2 over the course of one academic year (one level per semester).
Younger students, or those who wish to proceed more slowly, should expect to spend two to three weeks covering each unit. Following this pacing guide, these learners can complete the full introductory series over the course of two academic years.
