Description
Jump start language studies with the alphabet, sounds, high-frequency vocabulary, writing, and reading practice using actual Biblical text.
Recommended for ages 12+
Welcome, Recruits! By the end of this five-part course, you'll have perfected the Greek alphabet, gained the ability to directly read Greek Biblical text, and learned enough high-frequency vocabulary words to encompass more than 15% of all the words in the Greek New Testament!
Sometimes the hardest part of learning a new thing is simply getting started. So in this class we're jumping right into learning Koine (New Testament) Greek from ground zero! We'll start off with learning the letters through a repeatable and memorable alphabet chant, then move from sounds, through the nitty-gritty, and straight into reading and writing! Taught by a linguist and former college Greek lecturer, this course takes more of a natural linguistic approach to the text of the New Testament (NT), relating the "dead" language to the mechanisms and workings of languages widely still in use. Learners will internalize lessons using movement, reading aloud, listening, and tactile skills; providing a multi-faceted exposure to language learning.
Lesson One serves as an introduction to the language, familiarizing learners with the strange new letters and how they should sound. Subsequent lessons provide additional practice a few letters at a time. Printable worksheets will be provided for each letter containing: 1) a high-frequency NT noun starting with that letter, 2) a sample NT verse containing the high-frequency words for reading practice, 3) an optional coloring activity, and 4) lined pages for handwriting practice. Class time will consist of instruction, review, reading, and writing practice. The final lesson includes instruction and orientation on accessing the text of the New Testament online and using the tools found at Biblehub.com (a free online resource).
Lesson One: - The Alphabet Chant - Vowels and their sounds - Diphthongs - Jots and Tittles - Punctuation - Introduction to texts
Lessons Two through Four: Eight letters per lesson - Vocabulary building - Reading practice - Writing practice
Lesson Five: Introduction to the New Testament tools available on BibleHub.com

Bringing the practical to the digital.
Hello. My name is Heidi. I've been homesteading for two decades, and homeschooling as long as I've had a school-age kid. I think that learning happens both intentionally and experientially, and there is something to be said for serious indoor study, as well as having fun and just exploring the world.
I have been taking care of the family farm for more than 20 years; tending garden, orchard, a timber stand, and raising dairy goats, chickens, and waterfowl. My family started and operates a goat milk soap business and my husband creates and carves with a CNC he built and programmed himself.
I have a bachelor's degree in Biblical Languages from North Central University, where I studied both Greek and Hebrew - translating nearly 1/4 of the New Testament from the original Greek, as well as serving as a teaching assistant in the Greek department. I spent my undergraduate internship serving at the Summer Institute of Linguistics, working on their digital Greek language tools database. I went on from there to graduate studies at Asbury Theological Seminary, where I expanded my Biblical language studies into Aramaic, Ugaritic, and Latin. An ancient Egypt enthusiast, I was also lucky enough to take a brief capstone trip to Turkey and Egypt to try my hand at reading hieroglyphs (and ancient Greek) in their natural surroundings. I am passionate about language, history, and encouraging study in original sources, whenever possible.
I've been teaching for more than ten years, with extensive experience both in the classroom and online platforms, with students ranging from kindergarten through grad school. I have taught at private schools, college campuses, and homeschool co-ops. I have also taught virtually in both the master's of education and doctorate of education programs at Concordia University Online. In fact, as of 2026, I have taught well over 6,000 live online classes, reaching more than 4,200 unique students.
So come learn with me, whether your classroom has four walls or no walls. Let's have fun learning online!
