    This is so relatable. Thanks for sharing your story. So inspiring. I currently meet with a professor each week on teams and we diagram the Greek text one verse at a time. I hope someday to be able to share kitchen table Greek with someone in my own home. Thanks for sharing.

    I could say a lot, but… the guy who inspired me in NT Greek was my Pastor’s son, who was a Greek Nerd and was constantly reading/studying (including his UBS Text placed in the middle of his steering wheel) with a goal of being able to Speed-Read the NT in Greek.
    I love my Greek Library 😁 Blessings… (Oh, I got to attend Bible School for a while in Birmingham and was in the Air Force @ Tucson) I’ve been chipping away at Greek for about 50 years.

    Very interesting talk with your Dad. It's encouraging and inspiring to hear how others learned Greek and to see the passion to master the language and to read the Greek New Testament fluently. God is certainly leading! Praise God for teaching us to read His word in the original languages!

    I’m 58 years old, I went to Bible College after I got out of the Marine Corps and took my first Greek course in my senior year in 1995. We also used Machen’s Book. I then went to Westminster Theological Seminary in 1996 and took another 2 years of Hebrew and Greek.

    I'm very impressed by the dedication especially to the idea of reading grammars as I basically don't think grammar exists. I feel tempted to go through a grammar (or two) in case I'm missing out.

      @@cpnlsn88 you definitely should it's one of those things that I feel like sometimes too much emphasis is placed on the grammar to the point where the love of the actual language is lost, however I definitely think it's something that should be looked into because it makes the text so much more powerful
