Read the New Testament in the language it was written in. Complete Koine Course takes you from the first letter of the Greek alphabet to reading all twenty-seven books for yourself.
Imagine opening The Gospel of John and reading "In the beginning was the Word" in John's own Greek, word by word, because you know what each word means and why it has the form it has. Imagine reading Paul's letters as Paul wrote them, and noticing what no translation can fully carry across. That is where this course takes you, a few minutes at a time.
REAL GREEK FROM THE FIRST DAY
Every reading is the real text of the New Testament. Each lesson adds a few new words and one new idea, then gives you real verses that use them. You never meet a word or a point of grammar before it has been taught. Step by step the verses grow into stories, the stories into chapters, and the chapters into whole books.
THREE STAGES, 1,547 LESSONS
In the first stage you learn the grammar and the vocabulary through short readings. In the second you read the great stories and whole chapters. In the third you read the New Testament book by book, beginning with The Gospel of John. A typical lesson takes about twelve minutes, so a lesson a day fits into almost any life.
HEAR EVERY WORD
More than 50,000 recordings bring the language to life. Theos reads every Greek word, phrase and verse aloud, so you learn how the language sounds as well as how it looks. The grammar tables are chanted too, so their patterns stay with you. Beth, the English voice, explains each new idea in a few clear words.
HELP WHENEVER YOU NEED IT
Tap any word to see its dictionary form, its grammar written out in full words rather than abbreviations, and its meaning in plain English. Open Study View to see a whole sentence laid out clause by clause, with each word's part in it. Reading notes prepare you for each new kind of sentence just before you meet it, and background notes at particular verses explain the words and customs a modern reader might miss.
REMEMBER WHAT YOU LEARN
More than 11,000 flashcards cover about 3,500 words, their endings and their forms, with nearly 3,000 illustrations. Modern spaced-repetition scheduling brings each card back just before you would forget it, so your review time goes where it does the most good.
