For my benefit and your own, if we skip one week, I don't want us to miss a Lesson, so I'd have you do 2 Lessons for the 2 weeks between classes. If you get stuck during those 2 weeks, you can call or email me with any questions you have or problems you encounter.

However, if we have to skip more than 1 week (see below), then I will only expect you to do 2 Lessons during those weeks. Thus, the probable schedules will be as follows, and we will only fall behind by 2 weeks overall:

If you personally have to miss a scheduled class, I still expect you to stay on schedule. Again, you can always call or email me with any questions you have or difficulties you encounter.

If you do your daily work, esp. during the vacation weeks, you will not fall behind.

No Class August 18 & 25 - Next Class September 1

Per my August 16 email, due to the absence of most people and the church consecration on August 25 (see below), I'm asking you to work on your own these next three weeks. I.e.:

• The Week of August 18-24: Read and study Lesson 10, memorize the vocabulary and verb paradigms, and do all the Exercises. Imperfect Active Indicative, and Imperfect forms of ειμι.


• The Week of August 25-31: Read and study Lesson 11, memorize the vocabulary and verb paradigms, and do all the Exercises. Imperfect Middle/Passive Indicative.

Though this is new material, it is not difficult, and if you do your daily work, you will easily master the material. That's what I like about Croy - he gives you the essentials, he gives it to you in small sizes, and he gives you lots of Exercises to put your new knowledge to use. The Exercises really are the key: If you study the grammar and memorize the vocabulary, you should be able to do the Exercises and get most of them correct - which means that you have learned the material.

I'll post the Answers to the Lesson 10 and 11 Exercises here on the class blog in plenty of time for you to do the work and review your answers. I already have audio files through Lesson 15, and I'll get the vocabulary posted, too. (Note: You already have the full vocabulary for the course in this file, Class Vocabulary, which lists the words in Lesson order; my vocabulary lists are just cut-and-pasted from this master list.)

WE WILL NEXT MEET ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, AT 9:15 A.M. We'll briefly review Lessons 10 & 11 (and the Exercises you did), and have a quiz on the material, and we will preview Lesson 12. Thus, we'll stay on track and won't miss a beat.

Call or email me with any questions you have or any problems you encounter. Those of you who have been on vacation have told me that you are keeping pace on your own. BE SURE TO KEEP READING THE BLOG.

Class Notes: July 21, 2007

We will not meet on Saturday, July 28. Our next class will be Saturday, August 4, at 9:15 a.m.

The Lesson 6 quiz was simply a test on:
a) all the words (including the extra words) for Lesson 6, and
b) the "extra" words (LXX & NT, plus the other words I've given you to learn) up to this point, and
c) the Definite Article paradigm.

Class Notes and Comments

Lesson 7: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

41. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words, including the extra words (no LXX/NT words for Lesson 7), as well as for audio files of the vocabulary.

42. The main enclitics you will encounter in New Testament Greek are:

• Forms of ειμι except for ει ("you (singular) are") - Section 43
• Forms of the indefinite pronoun and adjective τις/τι - Lesson 27 Section 192
• Unstressed oblique (i.e., non-nominative) forms of εγω ("I") and συ ("you" (singular)) - Section 45

43. Memorize the Present Indicative of ειμι. FYI - the Present Infinitive of ειμι is ειναι ("to be") - Lesson 24 Section 168.

45. Memorize the forms for the First, Second and Third Personal Pronouns, singular and plural. You already basically know the Third Person Personal Pronoun because it uses the same pattern and endings as the Definite Article and the First and Second Declension Nouns.

46. This section is very important to understand.

47. Do all the Exercises and check your answers.

See the Sidebar for Lesson 7 vocabulary and audio files and Exercises Answers.

If you have time, preview Lesson 8, esp. Section 51 on the other uses of αυτος.

Our reading will continue at Mark 1:16.
