Greek Vocabulary Cards
- Vocabulary cards are not a "book".
- When I checked Worldcat, they were only available in two libraries: Trinity Episcopal School in Ambridge, Pennsylvania(available on reserve at the library, so the odds are unlikely that they'd interlibrary loan it), and Concordia University in Saint Paul, Minnesota (also apparently only for use in house). Odds are, neither library is in convenient distance for 99% of the people who stumble across or regularly read this blog.
- These vocabulary cards are an excellent timesaver and a good resource.
I own the set at home, though I didn't purchase it until after I took my first year of Koine Greek in college. I wish I had known about this set of Koine Greek cards then, it would have saved me many hours of writing out Greek vocabulary words, checking to make sure I had all the accents, checking to make sure I had all the accents placed correctly....
Anyway, some pluses I have noticed from owning this set of Greek Vocabulary cards:
- Good features
- Keyed to William D. Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar
Frequency numbers on every card - Principal parts given for verbs
- Cards numbered for easy assignment
- First 320 cards based on order of Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar
- Cards 321–1,000 ordered according to frequency
- Keyed to William D. Mounce’s Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar
- Words are listed with the genitive case ending and the article.
- Size and shape of cards more conducive to more comfortable and convenient holding. (Easier to handle than the VisEd set I also found.)
For those of you who own Mounce's Basics of Biblical Greek or those who just want to brush up on vocabulary, buy this set; you won't regret it.
