Although the focus is on the Greek New Testament, students will be able to apply lessons learned that will also help them understand and translate the Greek Old Testament (called the Septuagint).

After each lesson, students are encouraged to take an interactive quiz that assesses their understanding of the lesson.

For those who want to translate a book of the Greek New Testament directly, they should take the Udemy course, "Translate 2 John from Biblical Greek," also taught by Dr. Derek Cooper.

I have been learning biblical Greek on my own until now and even though I had built up some very basic vocabulary, I didn´t know about the verbs! So I´m very happy I found this course. It is very clear, and luckily for me the grammar bears resemblance to Hebrew verbs, which also can be active, passive or reflexive.

This course helped me a lot to understand Ancient Greek grammar. Now I can easily identify various forms of verbs in the text. It makes it easier a lot to actually read and understand New Testament.
