- TWO PROBLEMS - Money, Time. - After spending $27.99 for this product, you discover that you only bought the skeleton. To get ALL the videos and screenshots on Dr. Monce's web site, you have to pay another $69.00. There's nothing wrong with paying him for this resource. But you need to know on the front end that the entire resource will cost you $96.99. (I see many good ratings on this product. I suspect this additional cost is fairly new) - I've only done the first few lessons so I don't know if this Time problem will go away. The screen shots aren't always about Greek. Many of them include directions about setting up Accordance Bible Study Software for the Greek instructions. One screenshot took up almost the entire time on this subject. A waste of time for someone who has Logos. - As far as a review goes, I'm glad I've already had some Greek. It seems to me that some things weren't well explained. However, he's an enjoyable teacher. I will probably spend the additional money and hope there are no other financial surprises that come up.
- I understand the English rules of grammar but does this product require knowledge of Greek? I don't know Greek vocabulary but I know how to use an interlinear. My concern is that the video might have him reading Greek, thinking this is a language of which I have some basic understanding. (No ratings, but I'm sure it would be a 5 star!
- Sorry for the delay, but yes, this assumes you've had about a year of grammar. If you have taken the "Learn to Use Greek" course then you should be in decent shape for this one. Everything on the screen includes an interlinear line.
- In the right hand part of the Lemma section there is a line showing the books of the Bible with the number of times that word appears in the Bible books. I was looking at the name "Peter" and had a hard time using my mouse to move from Mt to Jn to see the number of times his name appeared in those books. The problem was that no matter how slowly I moved my cursor, it kept skipping over Luke. I would see it briefly as I moved from Mk to Jn. I tried the right arrow key to see if it would work but it did not. Since so much info is crammed into a small line, it seems that the arrow key could precisely go from one book of the Bible to the next. You would use the mose to quickly get to the part of the line you wanted but then switch to the rt and lt arrow keys so you wouldn't have the frustration of moving the mouse back and forth until you finally got to the place you wanted onthe line.
