Keep Your Greek

Con Campbell has written an excellent series of posts designed to help students (and others) maintain their ability to read Greek.

Students, and more often pastors, occasionally ask me for advice about how to keep their Greek (and Hebrew) at a good level, while in the midst of demanding ministry work. They’ve spent hundreds of hours at college or seminary getting the biblical languages under their belt, so it’s a crying shame to then lose that hard-earned ability and knowledge through lack of use. This problem also applies to academics who may have a couple of other languages, such as French and German, that they want to remain proficient in. So, I thought I’d offer a few thoughts in this new little series.

Here are Con’s tips with links to a further discussion:

  1. Read every day.
  2. Burn your interlinear.
  3. Use software tools wisely.
  4. Make vocabulary your friend.
  5. Practice your parsing.
  6. Read fast.
  7. Read slow.
