I have almost completed Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greee! It has been a long road, but one that I've thoroughly enjoyed. I'll be completely finished by the end of the week. All that I have left are some more vocabulary words to memorize, and finish with all the athematic conjugations. I plan on continuing with the vocab memorization, as well as creating a fairly aggresive review program of vocab and grammar.
Next, I plan on studying Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, while simultaneously studying Homeric Greek:A Book for Beginners by Clyde Pharr. I'm hoping to actually have both completely studied by the summer. I'm hoping that since I've learned the hard part, that the next step will go a little faster, but if not, that's fine. I am, also, planning on going through Mounce's A Graded Reader of Biblical Greek concurrently with Wallace, to get into the translation/exegesis groove.
After Greek, I'm still debating on whether to learn Latin or Hebrew. I'm leaning toward Latin, simply because, I think I can have it hammered out in a year, and then spend however much time it takes to learn Hebrew well, which I'm thinking will probably take close to two years. But that's more the long term plan.
Learning these old langauges is great!
