Overview

Sing and Learn New Testament Greek provides a way for learning (and remembering!) New Testament Greek grammar forms through simple songs. It is not designed to compete with existing Greek grammar books, but to serve as a required supplemental resource for elementary Greek classes. Indeed, it has been designed to be used alongside of any introductory grammar. A professor can simply assign to his or her students any (or some) of the songs for the paradigms a particular elementary grammar employs. In this way, students will actually remember what they have learned (as we are all aware, people do not easily forget something learned via song).

The entire project includes songs for indicative verb endings, participles, infinitives, imperatives, contract forms, and prepositions, among others. All but the last song can be sung in 15 seconds or less. Parsing is enormously easier through this method. And it is a lot more fun than traditional methods (are we allowed to even use the word “fun” in reference to elementary Greek? Absolutely!). Beginning Greek students can listen along using Logos on their tablet or smartphone, or put it on their desktop or laptop computer. These songs are so simple that students who have used them complain about waking up in the middle of the night with the songs running through their heads. You’ll never hear that complaint from students who have had to use rote memory to learn grammar forms.

    Considering that this audio file won't link to anything else in your Logos library, one might want to shop around. In any case, the related booklet can be downloaded for free at sing-and-learn-nt-greek_booklet_berding.pdf. That helps a lot.

    Unfortunately, the Logos edition does NOT come with lyrics. Every other version comes with lyrics. Zondervan has them and I'm curious why they were not part of the Logos purchase. As it is, if I want to use this purchase, I have to painstakingly go through EVERY song, write up my own lyrics sheet, AND THEN use a separate app/program; one to play the song and another to display the lyrics. Perhaps one day Logos will rectify this problem so that it's usable. If not, hopefully they just stop selling it.

    Excellent idea. I figured for $9 it would be worth the price for verbs alone. Unfortunately, as one reviewer pointed out, you cannot tell where he is at in any given song. I can follow him for the first half of the song but no clue where he goes after that. Brilliant idea but swing and a miss. If logos were to actually commit to doing this right it would be wonderful. But it would need to be like the Disney sing alongs from back in the day. Mounce Greek chart with a ball bouncing from line / column so you can understand where he is and what he's saying.

    I've owned the CD version, but am unable to get logos version to work on my Samsung Galaxy S7. Hope I can figure it out because it really is a great resource!

    This product would be more useful if it had the paradigms within it. Following along in another resource is no problem for the definite article, but I cannot find a paradigm for nouns that lists the endings in the order in which he gives them, so the song is of no use to me. Seeing as how there exists variations in which different teachers order even the most basic paradigms, NGDA or NAGD, etc., having the matching paradigm right within the resource seems imperative. At the very least, a recommendation pointing you to the best external resource for a given song would be nice.
