.

Classical

Beginner

Moss, Charles M. – A First Greek Reader with Notes & Vocabulary  rev.  (Boston: Allyn, 1887)  170 pp.  ToC

The best way to learn Koine Greek is to learn classical Greek first, and not to just learn some things about it, but to thoroughly learn the language itself.  This long term goal is often best accomplished in a similar way to how a native child learns, through being guided through interesting readings, such as in this volume.

Dr. Noe and Latin per Diem has built a self-paced course around this reader, which is highly recommended.

“Anyone who has attempted to learn Greek from the leading textbooks available today…  can easily see for themselves how little actual Greek language the majority of them contain.  Most of these textbooks…  contain only a small amount of actual Greek, and mostly explain rules and grammar.

Make no mistake, the understanding of grammar and constructions, learning forms and rules and applying them, is essential to a strong knowledge of Greek.  But these skills arise from working with Greek and must not be learned in isolation.

In this way, The Moss Method is quite different: the student begins reading simple, connected Greek prose on the first day and continues to do so until the end of the course.”

Websites

Intro

For a further introduction to the great benefits of the programs of these websites, and yet why they will likely never fully replace intermediate and advanced print grammars, such as on this webpage, see the ‘Start Here’ section on our page, ‘Biblical & Rabbinic Hebrew Grammars’.

.

BibLingo.org

This site’s method appears to be based on Duolingo, but is for the Biblical languages: Hebrew and Greek.  It is very high-quality, in some ways more than DuoLingo, and seeks to teach through using the language.

The site combines video tutorials, with visual learning, reading, hearing and speaking the language, with active sentence construction and other methods, which multi-faceted integration deeply engrains the material into you for quick acquisition and lasting retention.  And it is a bit fun and easy to get hooked, whether for adults or kids.

It provides instruction for all levels of Hebrew learning, from beginner to expert.  One can graphically see and track their consistency of usage, hours of learning, etc.  One can easily progress more quickly using this self-paced program than in a classroom setting.

There is a ten day free trial with no credit card.  As of 2023 it is $14-40 a month depending on one’s plan.  It is worth the investment in your life if you are able to afford it.  Cut out your other bills and devote yourself to God’s Word.  It is an investment you will not regret.

While the site teaches advanced content, it does not have anything like this webpage of intermediate and advanced grammars for reference and retrieval of techinical information.

.

DuoLingo.com

DuoLingo has a free tier, and the upgrade is affordable, whether for yourself or with a family plan.  The site teaches modern Hebrew, focused on travel, conversation and daily living, which overlaps enough with Biblical Hebrew to be very worthwhile.

The site’s method is interactive, combining passive and active learning through varied, repetitive, progressive practice with visual, reading, hearing and speaking methods.  Much of the learning method is inductive, by figuring out how to say things through what one already knows, so it is interesting, engaging and serves longterm retention.

DuoLingo is modeled after gaming websites, reward systems and social networking, such that the site and course is a bit addictive, which is great for learning.  It is self-paced and you can advance as quickly as you are able.  The site is continually adding new material with higher levels of advancement in the language.
