I'm relieved to see that you have made use of other grammars than Machen since I found his grammar extremely incomplete. Mounce is used by many who seem to appreciate it though I must confess that I've never looked at it and therefore will not comment. D & M is an old standard, perhaps a little long in the tooth since it is relatively short. While I do have it and have looked at it on occassion, I'm not really familiar with it. Robertson is to be highly recommended in my opinion. You might add to these Baur, Debrunner, Funk _A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature_. I would also recommend that you purchase Smyth's _Greek Grammar_. This is a classical grammar rather than a Koine grammar, but it does frequently prove helpful. I would also recommend that you purchase Holmes _The Apostolic Fathers_. Try to avoid looking too frequently or too early in your reading to the English. I have the electronic version which
comes in separate files for Greek and English so I'm not sure whether it is on facing pages or in a separate section or perhaps even in a separate volume. If the English is on the facing page, cover it while you read the Greek then only refer to it afterwards.

Hello,
I am finishing up Machen's grammar, with the help of Mounce's grammar, Dana
& Mantey, A.T. Robertson, etc., and I was wondering what were some good 2nd
year resources. I will be learning on my own on, so any helps in that
department would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
Will
