Hello all,
Is there any interest or plans on starting a study group in Mounce’s BBG grammar, second edition?
There are currently no plans for such a list right now.
If someone came forward offering to run a BBG list, we could of course set that up easily.
I’ll join if you start one 
Track One or Two?
I am more than willing to help with correcting the exercises, but it would be nice to have someone else as well.
If there is enough interest in starting a study group, but no other guide comes forward, then I’m willing to give it a go by my self.
Bert, I’m still interested, I’d try to help correcting the exercises, but I’m not sure how faithful I could be. One more part timer and perhaps we could get one started. I suppose after we said we were going to do it others would enlist.
Hello:
I’m not sure how many are needed, but I would be interested in a Mounce group as well. I went through Mounce about 3 years ago, and could use a refresher trip back through the book.
Hang tight arslongus, we’re working on something.
I want to work through Machen, but am willing to do Mounce alongside it.
I’m really committed to mastering some Koine this Fall. I don’t want to study Attic right now because of the lack of audio resources available, and I’ve found it imperative that I consistently speak Greek to progress through a book.
I have the 1st edition of Mounce but am willing to buy the second one too, if the group looks like a sure thing.
If there are any others interested, please speak up. 
There is no need to get another grammar. The first and the second are close enough. There is a big difference in the workbook.
If a group were to materialize, we need to have the same workbook.
Unless everyone has the 1st allready, it’ll have to be the 2nd because that is the only one that is available.
Mounce has a file listing the differences in the Grammar in detail.

If any discrepencies arise in editions we could post the “rewrites” so that anyone could see how it is explained differently (a sentence here or there).
I have both editions and both workbooks. Either one works for me.
Hi all, I am interested in a Mounce study group . I have both book and workbook in the second edition. When do you think one will start?
Count me in for the Mounce study group.

What kind of critical mass are we looking for here? 10? 12?
I can twist a few arms to see if there is any interest. How many do we have at this point?
We may not have reached a maximum yet but I think we have reached critical mass.
Geoff is going to get in contact with Paul (and Will, okay Geoff?).
We’ll start probably in mid October.
We don’t have any beside the ones who have posted here.
I have the 1993 versions of the book and workbook which I assume are versions 1 (since they don’t say). Let me know if I need to get versions 2.

Yes. That’s first edition. Second edition will have that written on the cover.
I don’t think it is necessary to get the seconc edition of the grammar.
The first one will work just fine.
You won’t be able to do it without the second edition of the work book though. (unless everybody has the first edion.)
[quote=“Kat Doe”]I want to work through Machen, but am willing to do Mounce alongside it.
Believe me, you want to use Mounce instead of Machen. For those not in a class, Machen is really tough sledding…
Mounce is very easy to follow, and he will have you reading the NT.
Machen is a good textbook; but its rough outside of a classroom with a good teacher. His strengths are the exercises and the clarity in the use of accents. Maybe a beginning beginner shouldn’t look at it, but it would be good for most students to plow through sometime. Kat could do it. In a good group Machen would be possible.
I’m with you though, Mounce first for the auto-didact. It slows hair loss and improves blood pressure levels.

I would like to be included in the BBG Study Group.
