Pardon me if this point has already been made (I was away, and still haven't
caught up on all my posts):
If you have a choice between using an interlinear and getting anthrax, choose
the anthrax.
For those who don't recognize the literary figure, that's hyperbole.
Seriously, using an interlinear will not help you with the Greek. Far better to
bone up on your grammar, and start reading. Slowly at first, a verse a day.
Work on vocabulary as you go along. Before long your reading spead will
increase, and you will avoid the problems inherent with the use of interlinears.
