Learning Biblical Greek

Thanks.

I think I am going to focus first in Greek. 

If anyone has experience with the video series Logos sells for Biblical Hebrew and Greek love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks

Here are free lectures to listen to by Mounce

Thanks.

I edited what I wrote because I really want to focus on Greek first.

Do you or anyone has any experience with Logos Video series on Learning Biblical Hebrew and Greek? :Love to hear thoughts on that. 

I have no experience with the video series so you should take what I say as hearsay and perhaps not correct.  My understanding is that the series teaches HOW to use Logos to gain some understanding of the Greek text.  This is something different from actually learning Greek.  My preference is to start with Homer and the classical Greek authors then move to Koine. This takes more time than simply beginning with biblical Greek.  I think, however, that you gain a better understanding thereby.  Of course, you can argue that we don't begin the study of English with Beowulf and the other early literature such as Piers Ploughman, and you would be correct. 

What would be good beginners resources (books, video, tutorials, online class)  to learn Biblical Greek that are accessible to the layman that could help me familiarize with the fundamentals and can built from it later?

Thanks

Greek For The Rest Of Us is a solid book by Mounce, though it's not geared towards learning Greek as much as it is towards learning how to use biblical Greek tools.

If you pick up Mounce's textbook, Basics of Biblical Greek, the accompanying workbook, the video lectures, and the vocabulary cards, you'd be well on your way to learning biblical Greek on your own. (Zondervan sells them as a package in physical form. I'm not sure if all of those things are included in the Logos package or not.)

Be disciplined about it (the most important skill you'll need!). And, find someone who knows the language and is willing to work with you here and there on pronunciation, reading skills, and the like. Learning biblical Greek is well worth the effort – but don't ever think it's not difficult. It is – and then some!

Not in Logos, but the best beginner's Greek course to me is GREEK TO ME by J. Lyle and Cullen I. K. Story:

My only criticism is that it uses the Erasmian pronunciation (I'm a fan of Randall Buth's Koine pronunciation), but you will learn 2x the vocabulary and most of the same grammar rules as Mounce, but in 2/3 the time, and you will actually be able to read sizable parts of the NT with understanding after you finish the course. Plus, the mnemonic system really works.

Note: The Translation Key is included on the audio-visual CD lessons, but it's nice to have the print version handy, so you might still want to order it. You definitely need at least the Textbook and the Vocabulary Flash Cards, and if you don't have a teacher, be sure to get the CD as well.

I used to teach layman's NT Greek at church, and after using Mounce and Dobson, having myself first learned from Mounce with Black as a backup text, I can say that GREEK TO ME beats all the others for ease of acquisition. But as I told my students: Plan on spending 1 hour per day, 5 days a week, plus class time (we met once a week and did one lesson/chapter per week), or don't even bother signing up for the course. Greek is great but it's hard work.
