Attn: Greek Students for LAN 211 in fall

From: Prof. Jintae Kim

Re: Preparation

Greetings from Manhattan!

As you are aware, I am going to be your teacher for LAN 211

Intermediate Greek I in fall, 2003, and I would like to encourage all of you to

be prepared for having privilege of reading the Gospel of John in Greek, for

which you will need to do some work during this summer. As you see the syllabi

on this website, I assume that all of my students would have mastered a minimum

requirement as follows:

1. Vocabulary – words occurring 49 times or more in the NT

2. Forms

Definite article; Relative, Personal, Demonstrative, and Interrogative Pronouns;

common verb forms (Indicative, Imperative, Infinitive, and participle)

3. Verb Parsing

You should be able to identify Dictionary form, Tense, Mood, Voice, and meaning of verb, and person and number of its pronominal subject of its subject (plus

case, gender, and number for participle).

4. Noun/Pronoun Parsing

You should be able to identity Dictionary form, Case, Gender, Number, Function

in the sentence, and meaning of noun and pronoun.

Those who are not ready yet must use their summer time wisely so that

they may be ready by the first class in fall, 2003. Those students who show up

at the class without preparation will face serious difficulty catching up with

the rest of class.

In Christ,
