Part Two-A or Two-B

Description

Randall Buth

Introduction Part Two-A (available in print or downloadable format)

Part Two-A, which comes with 5 hours of audio material, is a kind of “home language lab” appropriate for self-learning from a high school level and higher. The 277 audio tracks, including substitution drills, vocabulary introduction, dialogs, and readings, introduce and reinforce the learning at the speed of speech, enabling long-lasting internalization of the language. Special listening build-up tracks prepare the student to understand longer reading passages while listening.

Part Two-A contains six chapters of dialogues which augment the readings of the parables of the Lost Coin (Lk 15:8-10), the Great Banquet (Lk 14:16-24), the Lost Sheep (Lk 15:3-7), and the Vineyard (Mt 21:33-41). The Lord’s Prayer is memorized as well.

All Greek vocabulary, dialogues, and texts are glossed in English and grammatical explanations are in English. As a bonus for discriminating students, there are extensive footnotes throughout that deal with the development of the language and the stylistic functions of Koine Greek structures, many of which are typically only covered in advanced grammar books.

Part Two-B, which comes with more than 7 hours of audio material, continues from Part 2-A and is a kind of “home language lab” appropriate for self-learning from a high school level and higher. The 258 audio tracks, including substitution drills, vocabulary introduction, dialogs, and readings, introduce and reinforce the learning at the speed of speech, enabling long-lasting internalization of the language. Special listening build-up tracks prepare the student to understand longer reading passages while listening.

Part Two-B contains six chapters of dialogues which augment the readings of the parables of the Sower (Lk 8:5-15), the Lost Sheep (Mt 18:12-13), the Banquet Seating (Lk 14:7-11),the Buried Treasure (Mt 13:44-52), the Fig Tree (Lk 13:6-9), and the Pounds (Lk 19:11-28). Extra-biblical readings are included as well: parable of the Vineyard (Shepherd of Hermas 55:1-5; 57:1,58:1-5), Papyri i, 99, Papyri v.1:288-9, and two Aesop’s Fables–the Buried Gold, and the Farmer. The Love Chapter (I Cor 13) is memorized throughout the book. Part Two-B continues Part Two-A with further instruction of Greek morphology and syntax.

All Greek vocabulary, dialogues, and texts are glossed in English, and grammatical explanations are in English. As a bonus for discriminating students, there are extensive footnotes throughout that deal with the development of the language and the stylistic functions of Koine Greek structures, many of which are typically only covered in advanced grammar books.
