Re: Greetings

Re: Convert from Erasmian

Bringing the thread back on track... develop a pronunciation scheme that consistently pronounces accents on the syllables the accent occurs. Correct accent is more important than people realize, I think. To illustrate it, take an English word and mispronounce the accent. Take the same word and mispr...

Re: "I just don't think it makes you a better exegete ... " Theology, exegesis, and Learning Koine Greek Communicatively

You won't find any scholarly SLA articles about the use of composition to learn language, at least not in the sense we think of with Greek composition . Is that true?

I had improved so drastically myself as compared to what I had been able to do before. I had learned Greek through 4 years of Grammar Translation in college. Years later, I began to teach Greek the only way I knew how. Though I was teaching Greek, my advances were minimal. Then I began learning and...

Re: "I just don't think it makes you a better exegete ... " Theology, exegesis, and Learning Koine Greek Communicatively

Interesting blog.

Re: Koine Greek Animated / Cartoon Videos

These are very well done. Thank you, Ben.
The close captioning option on the Pharisee/Tax Collector story is useful.
