Question 1

Is the Mobile Vocabulary App included with my enrollment in the online course?

Accepted Answer

No, the mobile app is not included in the online enrollment. However, you can download the app for free which includes the vocabulary flash cards for chapters 1 and 2. If you feel these cards are helpful in your learning progress then you can purchase the full app which includes the flash cards for chapters 3-21 and the irregular verb flash cards.

Question 2

Will I truly be able to translate full Biblical Greek scripture or is this just a “basics” level class?

Accepted Answer

The Greek To Me course is not a “basics” Biblical Greek class. It is comprehensive! Other courses teach you “basics” and translations does not occur to well into the course if at all. With the Greek To Me course you will be practicing translation of full sentences and short biblical stories by the end of chapter 3.

Question 3

Do both payment options include the free textbook?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

Question 4

Which source does Greek To Me use/recommend for its Biblical Greek instruction?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Story advises students to purchase the American Bible Societies’ New Testament. Before passing away Dr. Story’s father collaborated on this project.

Question 5

How long does it take to complete the course?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately the answer is “it depends”. It depends on how much time and focus you put into your studies. As a reminder the course covers 2 full semesters (32 weeks) of seminary level instruction. If you’ve ever taken a 2 semester class in a higher learning environment this will give you an idea of the time required. For students in Middle School to High School we would recommend the course be spread across two full years.

Question 6

Is a grasp on the modern day Greek language helpful or not?

Accepted Answer

Since language is always in a state of change, it might be confusing to start with modern Greek, for it is not the same as biblical Greek. Pronunciation is likewise different. It might be more helpful to first work with biblical Greek and thoroughly master the basics of New Testament Greek, some exegesis, and then, to work with modern Greek. Simply, it could be confusing to try and work with two different versions of Greek, separated by 2000 years.
