The vast majority of students in the US who learn Koine in seminaries and universities don't learn the language. What they learn is a method for translating in their heads every word and phrase that they see. There is no internal comprehension of the words. The relationship in students head between APTOS and the loaf sitting in the kitchen doesn't exist in any student's mind. There is only a relationship between the lexemes "APTOS" and "Bread." That's not reading - or if it is, its barely reading. Its more like learning a code than anything else.

I've done modern language methods for other langauges - and after three months, my Russian was better than my Greek had been after a year!
