Introduction

Post by yeeks »

Hi everyone.

My name is Yee Kiat, Tan (Asian name. So family name = Tan, name = Yee Kiat).
I am a first year Greek student at Singapore Bible College. Currently doing my M.Div. Hope to use this platform to further my learning.

In my first semester, we basically went through the alphabet, o Nouns, η Nouns, το Nouns. The different morphology for the verbs (number, voice, mood, person, tense), and what is aspect.

The second semester basically builds on that. It covers verbal aspect, infinitives, particles, and conjunctions. There was also an introduction to using the NA28 Apparatus for criticism which was pretty cool.

I think I can do some basic reading in Greek. I find I still rely too much on Logos and not my memory for determining the morphology.

Do you spend any time reading the text, just reading for enjoyment? You covered the verb tenses, right?

Yes we did cover the tenses.
I do read the Greek text as much as I can. I try to open it every time I come to a New Testament passage. I still rely on having the English parallel side by side. The aim is to one day get by without that.
