Ancient Language Learner
Read full descriptionHide full description
Learn the vocabulary of the New Testament — all 5,483 words — through the screens you already look at dozens of times a day. HOW IT WORKS • New words appear on your lock screen with their meaning, several times through the day — no app to open. • The Recall widget on your home screen quizzes you: read the Greek, tap to check, then grade yourself. • Every PASS stretches the next review out (1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 90, 180 days). Every ↺ brings the word back sooner. Miss a word two days running and it returns to the lock screen for relearning. A REAL DICTIONARY BEHIND EVERY WORD Tap any word for its full entry: the Middle Liddell definition, the forms that actually occur in the New Testament with their parsing, its frequency across the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers and wider Greek literature — and every NT verse it appears in, with translation. MADE TO BE SUSTAINABLE • A two-minute placement test finds where you should start. • Choose which days introduce new words — take Saturdays off. • Reviews are capped and smoothed automatically, so the backlog can never snowball. • Words common in the Septuagint and the Fathers but rare in the NT are woven in, so your Greek grows beyond the canon. ALSO INCLUDED Hebrew and Latin vocabulary decks, and Hebrew verb-form drilling, available under Manage Languages. Built by a student of the biblical languages, on the conviction that the lock screen is the best flashcard you own.
