Academic Package Courses Daily Dose of Greek/Hebrew
I am getting ready to upgrade to Logos 10 and need advice. I currently hold a Logos 9 Standard Gold package. I am in seminary and struggling with Greek. I own the Greek Alphabet course and am looking for additional help. The Academic Profesional package has courses called Daily Dose of Greek (as well as several similar courses for Hebrew which I will be studying next year). Is this feature important enough to make the jump to the Professional package over the Premium package? The other alternative is to get Gold again and get a free course from logos.
There are other advantages to the premium package, such as BDAG, as well as other advantages to a standard Gold package, but are they worth $220 to $260 more than the Academic Premium package?

You can watch the Daily Dose for free on their website or YouTube / Vimeo, transcripts from Logos are tempting though.

It might help if you could tell us where you are struggling in Greek (not unusual, BTW).
The Daily Dose videos (which you can find online for free) would probably not help you that much, so don't get the bigger package for that purpose. BDAG and some of the other tools would be helpful eventually, but won't help you learn Greek. You'd have dynamic pricing in the future so could come back for those later when you start doing more translation, grammatical, and syntactical work on the NT.
You don't need to get Gold again if the offerings in Gold are not of interest to you. You can get most of the features and datasets in the Silver Feature Upgrade (and in Standard Silver). (You won't miss much that is essential by not going to the Full Feature Upgrade immediately.) I'd definitely get at least the Silver Feature Upgrade or a Silver base package.

If its any encouragement, usually people only struggle with one or the other of greek and hebrew. People who thrive in greek struggle with hebrew and vice versa based on my subjective observations.Michael Reed said:I am getting ready to upgrade to Logos 10 and need advice.

Personally I failed greek the first time I tried. Then nearly failed hebrew on my first attempt.
Eventually found greek easier the second time around a decade later. Hoping the same with hebrew. but we shall see.
Personally I picked up the full feature set because I wanted print library among other things. The ability to catalog all my print books that are also in logos catalog, and search within them made the difference.
I have reformed gold, baptist gold, and standard silver (and some other smaller packages) for now. But I'd like standard, baptist and reformed portfolio one day.L2 lvl4 (...) WORDsearch, all the way through L10,

Knowing that the Daily Dose videos are available outside the platform is great information.Thank you for your assistance and encouragement.One post mentioned the print books feature, and I agree that this is a must-own feature. It will help a tremendous amount in writing papers.It was suggested that I explain where I am having issues in my Greek study. Frankly, it is all of the beginning stuff. I have never been good with languages , and that trend continues with Greek.0

the print books feature
Just remember that this is limited to books in print that are available in Logos. Even with that limitation, I can see this being a help for your work.
I suppose the Mobile Ed video on beginning Greek (GK 101) would be the most helpful tool for you that Logos offers. Also, a basic English grammar book can be helpful at some point. Logos has four that I can find just for language students. Search for "English Grammar".
If you buy a base package with a free course, you'll have the option to buy two more for a total of $99.00.

I found this thread recommendation for David Alan Black's book, workbook, and YouTube course to be invaluable:Michael Reed said:I am in seminary and struggling with Greek.
