Description

Our 2021 Greek Forum will feature a communicative workshop put on by a team from Biblingo. Will learning to speak Greek really help my study of the New Testament? Can modern-language acquisition techniques be applied to studying a dead language like Koine Greek? This highly engaging workshop will explore how immersive learning techniques can help make New Testament Greek come alive in your personal study. This workshop is open to everyone—regardless of your level of experience with Greek! Whether you've been reading from your Greek New Testament for years or haven't even thought about studying Greek until now, Greek to Me will provide helpful insight into the study of biblical languages.
