Keeping up with NT Greek after class

Dear Brett,

I have found it helpful to read a little Greek each day.  In just 10-15
minutes a day I find that I can read the whole NT in a yaer.  Mounce's work
is an excellent tool to get you started.  I use it in my 2nd year Greek
classes.

Sincerely,

Ed Curtis
