@@JohnMiles117 Yes, John I am studying David Allen Black's book now. Nineteen years ago I took a class and the textbook they used was Black 's book. I got through one semester. I believe we did up to chapter 14 (if I remember correctly). Around October this year, I took out my cassette tapes, (yes cassette tapes) from the class I attended, and started to study all over again on my own. In October this year (2024) I found your channel, thank you Lord God Almighty!!! You talked the video that Dr. Black had made, I knew nothing about this video. (I 'm still technology challenged.) So then I began my search for the video you mentioned. I started studying alone his guidelines, as the video suggested. Since I have access to Dr Black videos it is such a blessing. Thank you John!!!! If you had not made your video, I might never have known about Black 's recordings. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
@gertrudejones7242 I'm so glad this helped you! Gertrude, it's stuff like this that really encourages me and makes me want to make more videos. Even if you were the only person that I've helped it would still all be worth it. I mean that from the bottom of my heart
@@alexandersmith9385 Sure! I've been meaning to get my hands on Young's grammar, I'm not familiar with matthewson and emig. I'll definitely look into them though!
I highly recommend Mathews on and Emig. It avoids elucidating uses into hundreds of cases like Wallace does, but does a great job explaining in a big picture way what the cases and conjugations mean. They do take the Porter/Campbell view on verbal aspect and time off which I'm not quite convinced of which is worth knowing. It s a good complement to Andreas and Kostenburger with it being the spiritual successor to Wallace
@olivercrosato4742 good to know! Several people have recommended this grammar to me, now I have to get it lol 😂 thanks for this super good info, if you want I just started a Greek forum on Facebook, feel free to join if you like facebook.com/groups/1275191740280676/?ref=share&mibextid=NSMWBT
@@annagaiser5186 Yes there is, I think Wallace is actually an advanced grammar. Also A.T. Robertson wrote probably the mother of all advanced grammars "A grammar of the Greek New testament in light of historical research" also Dave Black wrote an advanced grammar as well.
I don't want to be that guy but... But unfortunately ONLY a greek can teach you our language. I m not implying any superiority or something among these lines,BUT it s the truth. All the foreigners who teach greek, unfortunately they don't have the proper accent and on top of that , they don't know fully the language.
@JohnMiles117 Εκτιμώ την ωριμότητα της απάντησης και απαντώ στα ελληνικά ,για να πάρεις μια καλύτερη εξοικείωση με την γλώσσα. Πιστεύω θα σε βοηθήσει πολύ .
@JohnMiles117 Απλά άκου πως τα προσφέρει η φωνή απ' το γκουκλ τρανσλέιτ. Πιστεύω είναι κ καλύτερος τρόπος για να πάρεις μια γεύση απ'την προφορά. I m waiting for your progress,😉❤️
@Gehinomlezvuvim no problem, are you a native of Greece? That is so cool. I'm not mature, just smart enough to know that there are more than one way to skin a cat lol 😉
@@EmpireOfLEMBERG I think there is a definite argument that can be made to use the "living language" approach rather then the "grammar translate" method. I do think however that most of us learning koine Greek are learning it for reading rather than communication, however I'm not opposed to other methods.
Μπράβο απλά 💯💯💯💯 Ελπίζω να μαθεις την γλώσσα μας πολύ σύντομα 🇬🇷❤️
Thank you!!!
I believe that I will probably try to get all of them. ( as soon as I completely finished Black's beginning grammar.)
Thanks again!!!
@@gertrudejones7242 you're going through David Allen Black's grammar? That's actually how I Learned Greek! David Allen black is my hero!

You should make a video describing your journey and how much time it took you to study the language. Would help a lot of us "self-studiers"
@@kamalkhalil9090 you got it I'll make one
Would you consider doing reviews for Intermediate NT Greek by Richard Young and Intermediate Greek Grammar by Mathewson and Emig?

You probably feel like a kid in a candy shop. I would! Enjoy. 😊
@@Effectiveprayer you have no idea bro!
Is there such a thing as an "Advanced Greek Grammar"?
@@annagaiser5186 Yes there is, I think Wallace is actually an advanced grammar. Also A.T. Robertson wrote probably the mother of all advanced grammars "A grammar of the Greek New testament in light of historical research" also Dave Black wrote an advanced grammar as well.
@@JohnMiles117 Thank you.
@@annagaiser5186 no problem anna!
It depends on which greek, because our language differs from archaic to modern greek.
Not that much,but for sure you ll find many differences.
