Greek in a Day
This past weekend John and I attended a Greek ina Day class at church. I can't say that I have mastered the Greek language, but I do know a lot more than I did on Friday morning! We learned the Greek alphabet, how to write the letters, and the sounds each make on Friday night. Here is a video from Steve Demme (Yes, he's the same guy who does the MAth U See program.) This is the best way ever to learn the Greek aphabet!
Can't you just see a group of adults (and 1 kid) doing all these silly motions to learn the alphabet! It was lots of fun.
On Saturday we spent time learning Greek grammar and learning how to use various tools to aid in translation. Our pastor made us this wonderful CD Rom full of useful aids such as E-sword, Greek fonts, practice pages, parsing software. My goodness, there is too much to mention. If we work hard and get lots of practice, we may be able to read the NT in it's original form. How cool is that?! I can't wait to get started.

Say Howdy!)

Wow! That looks like a neat class. We're actually studying Greek this year. We've really loved the Elementary Greek program.
BTW, I guess concealing my children's names has been confusing. I often refer to my 6 year old as my youngest son (as opposed to my oldest son) but I have 4 children. My oldest is almost 10 (boy), next is my 8 year old daughter, then I have a 6 year old son and my little cutie (girl) is 18 months old today. It's also highly possible that I mispoke sometime and just called my 6 year old my youngest ;-) I am a bit flaky sometimes.
