Dobson vs. Hale
Posted: Sat Jul 09, 2011 10:31 pm
I've finished Mounce, but I'm sure there are a lot of finer points I've missed. I was going to do a second pass through it, but I read somewhere that for a second pass, it might be better to use a different textbook.
If I'm going to use a different textbook, I wanted one that would provide lots of easy reading (Lingua Latina-style) to drill the basic forms deep so I can really read in Greek rather than decipher/decode (which is what I'm doing now).
I got Dobson's Learn New Testament Greek, Second Ed and Hale's Let's Study Greek, Revised at a used booksale for less than a dollar. Is one of these notably better than the other? How do their strengths and weaknesses line up?
Thanks!
