I have not tried it, but here in Seminary I'm taking Attic Greek (which is the stepping stone for Koine Greek, what the old testament is written in--Koine is to Attic what comic books are to English). The book we use is Donald Mastronarde's Introduction to Attic Greek. It's very VERY technical and dense, but the chapters are decent. They don't cover too much or too little at once.

I guess I can't help you much otherwise, but perhaps it's just good to know of someone else taking Greek who may be of some help later, ne?

Perhaps you could consider taking classes at a Bible College. Biblical Greek and Hebrew are taught at the ones I know of.

THANKS its always good have help

although i havent gotten the materials yet(GOD willing)
i remeber reading in a exerpt about koine greek
that before arcehlogical studies showed that koine greek
was an actual form of the greek language.
the new testement was said to be "Holy Ghost language"
