[B-Greek] Learn Nouns first, later Verbs

Mitch,

I don't think it matters than much what order you teach things in. Somehow 
seperate a chunk of Greek from the whole big language and master it. Then find 
another chunk and master that. Step by step master a chunk at a time. The 
importance is not in what the chunk is, but in the mastering of something before 
moving on. 

Some languages will even teach verbs before nouns. I've seen all the 
declensions of nouns taught in one lesson, but ONLY the nominative and accusative.

DO pick a book that breaks off a chunk to master in the first lesson. DON'T 
worry about what the chunk is.

Immersion books and just reading the NT are great SUPPLEMENTS, but will not 
make up for the lack of a good step by step grammar book.

I don't think there is ONE book out there that will teach a student Greek. We 
learned English with a variety of reading, writing and grammar books and that 
is our mother language that we hear every day. It's pretty funny that we 
think we can learn Greek with just one :-)

For those who have studied and/or taught both ways,
which would you recommend: Nouns only before studying
Verbs, or a mixture from the beginning? And of course, why?
