Prof Insights: Faculty-Led Workshop: Professor Maxwell in St. Louis, MO

It’s Greek to Me! A Greek Immersion Workshop

This workshop is designed to increase fluency in reading the New Testament in Greek by giving students experience listening to and speaking Koine Greek. It is similar to an “immersion experience” in modern languages. The course assumes that the students have learned Koine Greek at some point, but their Greek may be rusty. The workshop also is appropriate for those whose Greek is in good shape but who want to get even better at it.
