Blood-Bought Pilgrim
Puritan Board Freshman
Hi All,
A comment in another thread got me thinking about this, so I wanted to ask more broadly for suggestions. I've completed my Greek classes in seminary (3 semesters), but still find that I am a good bit away from being able to read my GNT with anything approaching proficiency. I can sit down with my books and analyze a few verses, but I can't really "read" it.
I know I need to work consistently even to maintain what I've learned, much less get better. My biggest challenge is that I am still in seminary, alongside ministry, working full time and raising a family, so I don't have a lot of time to devote to it currently (I know being busy is the classic excuse, but it is what it is). I once heard someone suggest that each student should spend 30 minutes per day working on Greek after seminary, but with how things are right now that simply isn't possible.
With that in mind, what time-friendly suggestions do you all have for improving Greek skills after seminary? What have you personally done to maintain or improve your grasp of the languages?
