My class will run from early June thru late August, doing 2 mornings a week.
However, I will be doing Greek again in Spring semester.
I fully expect to have a busy summer, especially as I work also. | That is actually better. The typical summer Greek is 5 days a week, 4-5 hours a day, for 6 weeks or so. It is way too much to get a solid grounding in Greek, in my opinion. | I would second that.
The only way that I was able to make gains in the summer course was due to the fact that I had taken a year of Greek at a previous seminary. For that reason the WSC course served as an enjoyable if intensive review, but a lot of guys for whom it was meant just flat out choked.
