I learned Greek at the age of 52, and am working on a "use it or lose it" philosophy. In order to keep it up my, I have a daily Greek Reading Plan which I have used for the last three years to read through the New Testament in a year. This has worked well, but I have not been absorbing the text as well as I would like, so I am trying a new plan now where I do the following:
Day 1: Reading 1 (e.g. Romans 1:1-18)
Day 2: Reading 1 + Reading 2 (e.g. Romans 1:18-32)
Day 3: Reading 2 + Reading 3
Day 4: Reading 3 + Reading 4
In this way, I reread each passage (and I have reduced the daily amount so that I read the whole thing every two years rather than every year). The only way I can find of making this happen is to set up two reading plans with identical parameters except that one starts the day after the other. While this works well for me, it does get a bit messy. Doing this has improved my learning and retention, and also works better devotionally as I meditate on each passage over a couple of days. I do wonder, however, if anyone has been this way before and come up with a better way of doing it within Logos?
This isn't a complaint, criticism, or a request for a new feature, by the way! I am simply trying to work out if there's a better way of trying to achieve my goal.
