I don't expect perfection, I'll be amazed if I can grasp even the simplest things

Great video! I really wish this program had been available to me in my 20's, but now in my late 30's its such a blessing to me. Highly recommended.

Good stuff!! Yes, learning any language requires: * frequency (marathon not a sprint) * diligence as Daryl emphasized * LOTS of repetition of same words again and again. Initial exposure, move on, come back and revisit, move on... again and again. Seeing them used in context (sentences). I have found investing in a Dry Erase board and dry erase markers to be VERY useful. Also install the Polytonic Greek keyboard on your computer and practice writing sentences with the words. Dont worry if they are grammatically perfect, you can sort that out over time. As the old saying goes "it is easier to steer a moving boat" and the learning process is in many ways like painting a purple wall with white paint. You will paint a coat, let it dry. Then paint another and let it dry. Then another, until the wall is white without a hint of purple. Endurance, consistency, and repetition are key.

I'm 18 and am starting to learn about Greek and this video and the comments have been a blessing to me! Great video

Before I started learning Greek I wish I had a community to share questions, ideas, successes and failings. Now I have two.

Great chat, some really useful comments. All I can say to those of you who are thinking about learning NT Greek, and are wondering if you should join the MNTG community, well, I have managed to complete 16 Chapters of Mounce (an intro to Biblical Greek) in just over 2 months. This would not have been possible without the help of the MNTG community and the lecture series Darrly has developed.

5:50 didn’t see that coming. Incredible insight.

You know, I teach children music and I'm used to teaching them to sound things out. I'm in the older crowd who typically don't benefit from Geek as much in your view but I'm loving every minute of this. I challenge how you think about other people because we have the time and we love the process. This is one of the most fun things I've ever done. I highly recommend this for older people. We have the patience other people lack.

I very much learn by reading, viewing and listening to others on my own. In that domain self accountability is a huge key for achieving the desire goal. For example: It took me seven years of intense training to achieve black belt in karate. I kept a year at a glance calendar on the wall and used several different highlighters to indicate what I did each day, 365 days a year. One color for studying, one for practicing and one for spending time teaching or communicating with about the subject matter. If you can teach it then it's more likely you know it well and by teaching the subject it gets more ingrained.

When I began studying Greek, I was so anxious about keeping up with the pace of instruction that I failed to review properly. Reviewing certainly decreases the "fog." Writing the paradigms repeatedly helps tremendously.

I am soo excited that I found your channel. This is what I am searching for. I'll follow ur channel from niw on!! I am a pure beginner. I don't know anything about greek. But I want to learn no matter how hard it may be

I’m not crazy about the number of ads but I did sign up for the Pureflix program. Now back to learning Greek. 👨🏻‍🦳

Really good video. Super encouraging. Thank you.

Thanks for this content. It’s different from your normal Greek content, and it’s really cool to see this different side of you and your teaching. Great stuff!

Just because of your “silly comment”, I hit the like button 😂 lol love your videos! I am self teaching Biblical Greek and your content helps so much!

My pastor Rick Renner has helped me a lot with Greek

Thank you for this video. It was incredibly helpful!

Hi Darryl thanks for the video, I am a visual learner my favorite resource is MindManager 2020 which I use to organise my studies using MindMaps. Mindmanager maps have hyperlinks built in to link to relevant documents like powerpoints of what I am learning.

Such a classy way of shamelessly soliciting a comment! I never do, but here it is 😉

What text do you use in your mastering NT Greek course? I have the “Beginning with New Testament Greek” textbook

Very good brother!

You have very nice videos

I start to learn Koine Greek.It’s different with the Morden Greek. I wanna get some easy dialogue in Koine Greek,can you give me some material,Doctor!

What do you suggest reading if someone has not arrived at the point where he knows enough Greek to read the Greek New Testament?

Hi Daryl I enjoyed the tips that you offered. Your video went from practically no adverts to 6. I do not believe you have any control over this, but KZfaq is doing you a disservice by having so many in your 20-minute video. I hope they reconsider.

Thank you for this video. I'm going through the grammar written by Merkle and Plummer. Could someone explain why John 1:1 in the NWT is the wrong translation?

I wish I had known the MNTG program before hahahaha

I will translate Matthew 1:1-5 in the Codex Sinaiticus to English: Matthew 1:1 in the Codex Sinaiticus: βιβλοσ γενεσεωσ Ιυ Χυ υιου δαδ υιου αβρααμ. My translation: The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, David's son, Abraham's son. Matthew 1:2 in the Codex Sinaiticus: αβρααμ εγεννησεν τον ισαακ ισαακ εγεννησεν τον ιακοβ ιακοβ δε εγεννησεν τον ιουδαν και τουσ αδελφουσ αυτου. My translation: Abraham gave birth to Isaac, Isaac gave birth to Jacob, and Jacob gave birth to Judah and to his brothers. Matthew 1:3 in the Codex Sinaiticus: ιουδασ δε εγεννησεν τον φαρεσ και τον ζαρα εκ τησ θαμαρ φαρεσ δε εγεννησεν τον εσρομ εσρομ δε εγεννησεν τον αραμ. My translation: And Judah gave birth to Phares and to Zara out of Thamar, and Phares gave birth to Esrom, and Esrom gave birth to Aram. Matthew 1:4 in the Codex Sinaiticus: αραμ δε εγεννησεν τον αμιναδαβ αμιναδαβ δε εγεννησεν τον ναασσον ναασσον δε εγεννησεν τον σαλμον. My translation: And Aram gave birth to Aminadab, and Aminadab gave birth to Naason, and Naason gave birth to Salmon. Matthew 1:5 in the Codex Sinaiticus: σαλμον δε εγεννησεν τον βοεσ εκ τησ ραχαβ βοεσ δε εγεννησεν τον ιωβηδ εκ τησ ρουθ ιωβηδ δε εγεννησεν τον ιεσσαι. My translation: And Salmon gave birth to Boes out of Rahab, and Boes gave birth to Obed out of Ruth, and Obed gave birth to Jesse.

Can't watch this any longer. Too many ads.
