Last year I used Mounce. It is very thorough, too much so for first year
students, in my opinion. It also relies too much on the NT for translation.
This coming year I will be using _A Primer of Biblical Greek_ by Clayton
Croy. It is published by Eerdmans. He teaches at Trinity Lutheran in
Columbus, OH. He has many more translation exercises. Some are from the NT,
some from the LXX, and others are English to Greek. That in my opinion, is
what will turn a mediocre student into someone who begins to get a feel for
the language.
I have also used Machen, and Mills. They have many of the same advantages as
Croy's book.
Another of last year's instructors loved Mounce, however. A lot is what you,
as the instructor, feel comfortable with and your style of teaching.
On a related note, I have many *boring* grammar exercises for Greek on one of
my web pages. These are exercises that are designed to get the students
practicing the endings of nouns and verbs, rather than translating.
For example:
Change the following verbs from present tense to aorist, retaining person and
number.
Change the following verbs from singular to plural, retaining person.
They are all in pdf format. If you use them, please let me know as you find
errors. Each exercise is complete, but I do not have all the exercises I
want to have done yet. I hope to add a lot more before the beginning of
August, and certainly before the beginning of the fall semester.
