Greek 2 – fourth class

Another good class. Concepts are settling down well in my head, I think, but vocab is getting me. I could tell that I didn’t have me vocab cards with me as much last week. We read more of 1 John 2. A little tougher going for all of us. I well understand the idea that word order can be wacky in Greek, but I think I saw the biggest example of this so far this week.

We have another bit “translation cage match” homework which I might blog on later.
