[B-Greek] "translating" the Middle Voice

Mounce has us "translate" the voices for Active and Passive as follows:

Active: I loose
Passive: I was loosed

What would be a good way of "translating" the Middle for beginners? And what 
would be added to this beginner's "translation" in a more advanced class? 
(He suggests something that denotes "self-interest" with many verbs, but not 
all. I guess I am looking for the proper way to learn from the very 
beginning so I can develop good habits.)

Kindly,
Delbert Flora
