καιρετε from Nashville, TN

Hello all!
I am Director of Music at a small Methodist church in Nashville, TN. In grad school I took a couple semesters of NT Greek, just for fun (and to apply my mind to something that wasn't music-related). That was about fifteen years ago, but I am still very interested in learning more about Koine Greek. I have tried several times to study on my own, but always seem to get sidetracked. So I'm going to roll up my sleeves and give it another try, and I hope communicating with other students on this forum will help me keep going with it this time.
The main text I've used in the past is the Third Edition of Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek. But I also just acquired a copy of Jeremy Duff's Elements of New Testament Greek, and I rather like that book as well. (When I took Greek in grad school, we used Machen, probably because it was relatively inexpensive.) Any suggestions on other texts that lend themselves to self-study would be greatly appreciated.
So long for now,
Cory Howell
