best text for going from Attic to Koine

[bjk]

For somebody with a solid grounding in Attic greek, what is a good text/pdf for learning to read Koine? I suppose I could just dive in, but wondering if there are any quick tutorials to get me up to speed. I realize this is such a basic question, and has probably been asked a million times, that somebody has a very good answer!

Hi, bjk,

Somebody who knows Attic well can easily read any Koine text. In my opinion, you do not need to work through a separate Koine text book. Just start reading!

However, you may found this book helpful as an overview.

It focuses, of course, as do virtually all "Koine" textbooks, on the Greek NT, which is a good thing!

cheers!

μαθων τις την Αττικην γλωσσαν δυναται αναγιγνωσκειν ρᾳδιως την Κοινην. κατα με, ουκ εχεις χρειαν αλλου βιβλιου. αρχου δη αναγιγνωσκειν.

πλην τουτο το βιβλιον ωφελιμον εστιν.

ωσπερ τα αλλα Κοινα βιβλια, τουτο διδασκει την Καινην Διαθηκην. καλον δε τουτ' εστιν.


ερρωσο. }
