When the pandemic lockdowns first began, I really worked hard on my Biblical Greek (and Hebrew). I figured all the time stuck at home was a great opportunity to jump-start my studies. For a short while, I felt like I accomplished quite a bit. But then, with one thing and another demanding my attention, those studies fell by the wayside. And now, with the pandemic all but over, I'm beginning to go through all my resources, and I'm planning to give it another shot. Hopefully this time I can make it beyond the basics of first declension nouns and present active indicative verbs.
Meanwhile, my favorite Greek grammar is Rob Plummer and Ben Merkle's Beginning With New Testament Greek. It's an excellent book, and there are a host of free resources on their website. Rob Plummer also does the remarkable Daily Dose of Greek videos, that I've found very enlightening. I've also ordered another Greek grammar that I've explored a bit in ebook form: Reading Koine Greek by Rodney Decker. It seems to go a little deeper into details than some other grammars, but it's beautifully laid out, and I think it will really inspire me.
There are a few other resources that I've been looking at lately. Dave Black's website is chock full of Greek resources. I also recently discovered SIGNT, the Simple Interlinear Greek New Testament, which looks like it could be a pretty handy tool. It's easy to use, and helps with parsing info with a simple click of a mouse. I've also gotten more interested in more authentic pronunciation of Koine Greek, and the YouTube channel, Reading the Bible in Greek with Maria, could be a good resource in that area. There are also great resources for reading Koine in a more authentic accent at KoineGreek.com. (All due respect to Rob Plummer and his academic abilities, his Greek sounds amazingly American.)
As Dr. Plummer has pointed out in a few different videos, there has never been a better time for the average layperson to learn Greek on his own. There are so many resources out there, many of them 100% free. So, no more excuses...time to do this! Wish me luck.
