Hi, John,
If you study Koine for the rest of your life,
you will at some point want to speak it. The first
step is to get Randall Buth's or Christophe Rico's
stuff. Get started on this now. None of this,
"Make me chaste and continent, O Lord, but
not yet." If you study Koine for the rest of your
life (unless the Mayans are right about 2012)
you will work through most of the stuff recommended
for second year students anyway, but the sooner you start
hearing and writing and speaking and thinking and using Greek,
the better.

Hi
I am a new member. The issue that has been haunting me over the last several weeks is the direction that my study of Koine will take one I complete the study program that I've been engaged in for the last two years. I have been using Christine Gatchell's Elementary Greek: Koine for Beginners since December of 2007. Her instruction is broken down into three one year workbooks and texts with each one having lesson plans for 30 weeks. The program is designed for home schooling grade school children in Koine but it is used by many auto didactic adults such as myself with limited time. Each daily lesson takes roughly 15-20 minutes. Well I am now on week 22 of the final 30 week course and have made decent progress. I am now looking for an intermediate course of study along the same lines as the Gatchell program to further my study. Something preferable that is broken down into manageable daily lesson plans that would take less than 30 minutes a day. I am
thinking of purchasing the
following books: It's Still Greek to Me by David Alan Black and A Summer Greek Reader by Richard Goodrich and David Diewert. If there is anyone out there who is familiar with Christine Gatchell's course and knows of a good follow up program to use once Gatchell's course is complete? I have been studying Koine for two years and plan on studying it for the rest of my life.
Thank you,
John Abbatemarco
