[3] Next Steps: Resources

At this point in your journey of learning NT Greek, you very likely have a mixture of emotions.
You should rightly feel a sense of great accomplishment. You may also feel something like a
toddler, who has just learned to walk. There is an eagerness to start running, yet you find
yourself still stumbling over the little things. You are not alone!
In these next two lesson steps, we want to point you to some resources and strategies that
will help you advance in the journey.
Scattered throughout our series of Greek courses, we have highlighted a variety of textbooks
and supplemental resources. Following is a summary list with brief comments on each.
Beginning Greek Grammars
Personally, I have found it tremendously valuable to review beginning grammars. It helps lock
in familiar concepts. I also regularly find little details that had been missed when I was first
learning the basics.

Wallace's big grammar. The formatting is not easy to follow, but still, it is a great quick

more recent scholarship.
