Is it too late to suggest a middle-ground option? I'm currently trying
to develop my limited grasp of Hebrew using GRAMCORD software. In front
of me I have only the original-language text, but by positioning the
mouse over a word I can check the parsing and lexicon definition(s).
And if I'm really stuck, I can switch on the interlinearisation and
compare with several English translations.
So the temptation just to read the English gloss isn't there, but I can
get the same kind of help (actually, better help) if I need to.
I also recommend LaSor's course for your revision program. You'll work
hard, but you'll learn things you never heard in class, and you'll be
reading actual NT text right from the start.
