Greek Update
Well, we are now entering the last four weeks of Greek 1. Learning Biblical Greek has been fun for the most part, but I must say I will be glad when I'm done learning and start translating. There are so many things to remember! The four different endings to the three different declensions, and singular and plural endings for a word makes it possible to say the same word 24 different ways! But all in all it is gratifying to look back and see how much we've learned. It is so exciting to be sitting in church and have the Pastor mention a Greek word you recognize. If I make it to the final exam, it will be first and foremost because of God's help, I think my brain would have overloaded a while ago without His help. I've also had a lot of help from the other ladies in Greek class, and from the three people at the place I work who know it. It's also been fun to be in a classroom setting. Being home schooled, I haven't experienced it that much. So that's been fun.

And you have singular and plural as well - that makes 24 ways.
But it's worth it! Stick with it.
Good point Mr. Dekker, I forgot about that! =) I will amend the post regarding it. Thanks, and yes, in the end I think it'll be worth it.
