Basics of Biblical Greek Video Lectures: A Complete Course for the Beginner

Mounce DVD Lectures
Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek has been well used and received now for many years. It is one of the most popular ways to learn New Testament (koine) Greek today. Mounce’s system and pedagogy is somewhat unconventional (verbs introduced much later, few paradigms to memorize) but it is particularly well suited for training the beginner to language study.

The free CD inside will provide you with the lessons you need, for a BIG fraction of the price! Disappointed with the short lessons that are not in depth and even more upset with the fact that this...

Excellent Learning Tool
Mounce is easy to understand and follow. The ability to pause and backup to better understand his point is invaluable. The video follows the BBG text very closely while verbally explaining the concepts
