| Description: | A suite of three programs designed to aid the learning of
elementary Greek. The vocabulary program uses words from either Anne Groton's From Alpha to Omega or vocabulary drawn from the New Testament. There is also a choice of Greek to English or English to Greek for both sets. Within each vocabularly subset it is possible to choose a vocabularly type (nouns, verbs or 'function' words). On-line help and hints are available including a keyboard chart for typing in Greek characters. The second program concentrates on the Greek verb requiring the student to identify tense, mood and voice. The student is able to choose the type of verb forms on which to be tested, including concentrating on irregular verb forms or common New Testament verbs. The student can also select whether to simply identify the forms or to translate them as well. As with the vocab program on-line help and hints are always available. The third program looks at the declension of nouns in a similar pattern to the verb program. The ability of the student to select a wide range of options on which to be tested, makes this program extremely good value, and builds upon the learning of elementary Greek from the text book. |
