Want a little bit more?

We offer a more intimate and deeper experience which includes weekly time with the instructor (via Zoom), accountability, live translations, Q&A time. Join the 2021 group at any time and be part of the community that shares the same vision to read the entire Greek NT in a year.

 

This option is open for anyone. This being said, it assumes basic knowledge of Greek grammar and vocabulary. So the equivalent of completed Beginning Greek is preferable. Through the year participants should grow their vocab to 20+ or 10+ occurrences by year’s end and read about 25 verses a day. Every week, participants read assigned chapters on their own and join weekly Zoom sessions to review the reading, translate together, and ask questions raised from the reading.

1. Free printable annual reading plan
2. Weekly Zoom sessions (100 sessions: 2 times/week)

Time:
Wed evening 7-8pm EST (New York)
Sat morning 10-11am EST (New York)

Feel free to attend all or any Zoom sessions. No sweat if you miss some.
