How to learn Biblical Greek myself?

[FerventDisciple]

How would a Bible student like myself who has a family to provide for and so can't go to seminary go about learning Biblical Greek, basically in my spare time? I've seen some books by Bill Mounce and Daniel Wallace on getting started and some more intermediate books from them to. Would that be a good place to start or should there be other resources I'm looking at?

2 different pastors told me that a person would need to learn classical Greek first and then koine Greek, so you would know which grammatical rules were broken by K. G.

Mounce is a good introductory text, and Porter's Greek book is also very good, but you would definitely need to get the work book with whatever text book you have. Also a software like flashworks can be really helpful to learn vocabulary which is one of the big battles in learning Greek.

Thanks for the resources. God Bless you always my Brother in Christ!

That's not true. Koine has its own rules, which are almost the same as Classical. Any good NT Greek text explains what the rules are.

This book by Duff is also good, and has an accompanying web site:

Good question! I would love to be able to read my Greek text for myself as well. I have college level workbook I bought from a Christian store, but it doesn't go very far into the language, only enough to get a person started.
