2/5/26 Q&A questions about Koine Greek

Hello Corey,

I’m early in my Koine Greek journey myself and greatly enjoyed your Septuagint series—thanks for the great content! I have a few questions about your learning process that would be super helpful:

  1. Timeline: How long did it take you to feel comfortable with your understanding of Greek?

  2. Grammar reliance: Do you still need to frequently reference grammar rules and paradigms, or has it become second nature and easily recalled while reading?

  3. Methods and resources: What did you use to learn, and what was your overall approach?

  4. Modern pronunciation: You recommend modern Greek pronunciation over Erasmian. However, most Koine materials seem to stick exclusively to Erasmian. What’s the best way to learn and practice modern pronunciation for Koine?

Thank you for your time!
