in place whereby an institution will
automatically grant credit for courses taken
at NTGreek.net. But there have been instances

How
much can I learn at NTGreek.net?
The two courses
currently online represent about 2/3 of what
is covered in a good first year college level
course. A third course is being prepared, and
when completed, the material covered in all
three NTGreek.net courses will be equivalent
to what is covered in one full year (2
semesters) of a good first year college level
course.

Will
I be able to read the Greek New Testament after
completing the courses at NTGreek.net?
You will not be able to
read the Greek New Testament after completing
the two courses currently online.
Participles, Infinitives, and Imperatives
are not covered until the 3rd course which is
not yet online. After completing the 3rd
level course, the best of students would be
able to read many parts of the New Testament,
particularly those parts where the Greek is
less difficult, such as the writings of John.
However, it takes much practice to be at ease
reading the Greek New Testament.

Will
I be able to speak Greek after completing the
courses at NTGreek.net?
No. Although the
courses at NTGreek.net include audio
recordings to help you learn to pronounce
Greek and to help you commit things to
memory, New Testament Greek is studied as a
written language, not as a spoken language.
Modern Greek is not the same as the Greek of
New Testament times.
[Back to FAQs]
What
pronunciation scheme is used at NTGreek.net?
What is known as the
Erasmian pronunciation scheme is used. This
is what has typically been used in most
schools in the United States.

Are
there tests?
For registered
students, there is a quiz over each lesson.
There is also a Final Exam at the end of each
course.
