2 types of Greek learner - which are you?

I've been teaching biblical Greek online for a few years now, and I've found that there are two types of student. Which one are you? Self-directed learners This first group is, in my experience, the smaller group. These learners are able to discipline themselves to sit down and simply read a Grammar, do the work and move to the next chapter. They may not have everything 100% perfect, but they can figure out the exercises and move on. Tutored learners That second group relies more heavily of step-by-step feedback. They like to take a step forward, then ask, "Did I get it right?" What they really like is feedback and explanations that further enhance their understanding so that they understand what they understand and where the gaps are. But even self-directed learners hit the wall sometimes. Let me give you an example. From stuck to unstuck David is a Master New Testament Greek member from the UK who learned Beginning Greek by himself using the resources he could purchase online. He got to the end of Beginning Greek, but felt like he didn't really have a good grasp on the concepts. So he went and purchased a different grammar, and went through that grammar too. When he got to the end of that, he still didn't feel confident so he repeated the cycle again. Eventually David came across Master New Testament Greek, and today he can read almost all the books of the New Testament in Greek without looking up words, or going to tools. There were two things that allowed David to move forward. The first was a systematic approach starting with the easiest books and moving through to the harder texts, with content that helped him grow as he made progress. By joining the membership David acquired what Luke Skywalker needed from Yoda, and Katnis Everdean needed from Haymitch. He needed a guide. Someone who could point the way, help prevent straying off the path, and to instruct him in the ways of biblical Greek so that he could make the most efficient progress possible. As David worked through the material in the Mastery Membership, he started reading the text, seeing grammatical constructions, understanding how they worked and gradually his reading speed and comprehension improved. Today, he is able to read a chapter in the Greek New Testament every day as part of his devotional reading, and week by week, he moves closer to having read the entire Greek New Testament. Even though David was a self-directed student, there were limits to what he was able to achieve on his own. David's story is not unique. I've seen the same story in many, even in those who have been through seminary. So which are you? In reality, there is a spectrum of different types of learners. But the important question is, what sort of learner are you? Hit reply and let me know your learning style and what sort of help you're looking for. I look forward to hearing from you!
