I've just learned of a new site at Cornell; intended for students
with one or two years of Classical Greek background, it nevertheless
includes readings from the GNT and looks useful for students of
ancient Greek generally.

The blurb: "Let's Review Greek! is a website from Cornell College
which brings together a range of useful resources designed to help
the student of ancient Greek to revise their knowledge of the
language independently. It states that it is aimed primarily at
students who have been learning Greek for one or two years. Although
much of its content is drawn from external websites (such as Perseus)
the site is organised in such a way as to make it much easier for
users to access manageable and relevant chunks of information
quickly. A section on Greek grammar, language and culture gives links
to pages on the alphabet, syntax and grammatical forms, as well as
background information on Greek society. Further sections are
entitled 'Easy Readings' and 'Intermediate Readings' and contain
links to bite-sized extracts from original Greek texts (including New
Testament works) which are selected in order to encourage students to
practise reading the ancient language. Each extract is designed to
take between fifteen and thirty minutes. "
