Greek For Life: Strategies For Learning, Retaining, and Reviving New Testament Greek

A fun find as a gift for a friend to keep up their greek.

My favourite bit? Each chapter ended with a mini devotional on how Greek helps us understand a NT passage better. Excellent!

Loved the practical suggestions

- the present middle paradigm can be memorised with this phrase, ""Oh my! Eh! A tie! A methodist has on a tie!"")

- Promise someone ""If I waste time on the internet today, I will give you $5""

- Boys do better with competition, so make Greek competitive (without denigrating ""losers"")

And his humour (e. g. If you have a holiday house in Hawaii, email me for a transaction. Free Greek Tutoring for a week at your holiday house!)

My only caveat is that it did seem to denigrate/ (even demonise?) non-Greek students (so only read if you've done Greek already for a bit!)

This book is a convincing appeal to students and pastors alike to learn, maintain and revive their Greek. The book includes many helpful heart motivations, practical strategies and resource recommendations for people at all stages of their study of Greek. Highly recommended for anyone learning the biblical languages.
