Basics of Biblical Greek

Post by DavidHatesChemo »

I am using William Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek 3rd edition. It takes me longer to do the memorization because of brain injuries from auto accidents and twice undergoing chemo treatments (chemo brain). It would be helpful if anyone else is using BOBG 3rd ed that we could help & encourage each other. I feel very much alone in this.

I'll do what I can for you, though I don't have a copy of Mounce's book. If you'd like to post any exercises here, I don't mind looking over your work.

Like Joel, I am willing to help. I just put a hold on the third edition from local lib. Are the exercises in the text book are a separate workbook?

Thanks. Yes, the workbook follows the textbook. Sorry I responded sooner. I had a second cancer surgery, and misjudging the steps with the walker I fell down a flight of steps. I now have a bone pressing against a nerve and its very painful. I see a surgeon on July 12. I use my smartphone at home for internet access, I live in a rural area where we don't have internet. But when I can get into town I take my laptop to the library.

I cut my teeth on Greek with Mounce.. his books really help
and I wouldnt dare to say that I can of much help because Im also a begginer,
but many experts here that I believe can give their opinions to aid you

Tomorrow I have an MRI done, then surgery will be scheduled after that. I can't walk and I'm in a lot of pain. I'll pick be back after the surgery.
