Hello all,
Someone in my class today asked me a question. "Should I go through Rosetta Stone's modern Greek program at the same time I am learning Koine Greek?" I've read that about 60% of NT words occur in modern Greek. So would doing Rosetta Stone concurrently hurt/help. Would it confuse?
I've read statements that say there was more change from Homeric Greek to Attic than there is from Koine to Modern Demotic. Do we tell people learn either Attic | Koine | Homeric then learn the other dialects? (That seems to me the best approach. I know of no book that teaches different dialects side-by-side for the beginner - but it also seems to me that there is a lot in Modern Greek which can be used by the Koine student. There is no Koine version of Rosetta Stone. So what should I say / have said?
