Hi Jose,
I think the others have answered well the matter about a lexicon. May I
make a suggestion in how I would approach learning a new language. I'm
gathering that your a beginning student, in this case I would suggest
concentrating on one language for a time whether that's Greek or Hebrew. I
started w. Hebrew since I felt that was more important... sorry b-greekers
:-) Therefore I suggest completing what would equal at least a year of
Hebrew or Greek at the collage level. By this I mean finishing/mastering
your primer grammar before focusing on the other. I think this promotes
fewer complications.
Along the same lines it is best to immerse oneself in the language... put
the pedal to the metal as they say. I believe immersion is the best way,
even the only way. If you are a tyro to Grk. or Heb. there will be much to
intake and a year will go by in no time.
