Study Guide Answer Key [

Writing Greek Letters I [PDF]  Exercise
This short exercise emphasizes practicing writing the Greek letters by tracing.  It reinforces proper penmanship for forming Greek letters properly.  Poor penmanship lasts a lifetime and letters will be confused later, leading to frustration.  This exercise should be repeated until all the Greek letters are familiar and written without effort.  The text is from John 1:1-8.  SA3:11-12

Writing Greek Letters 2 [PDF]  Exercise
This short exercise emphasizes practicing writing the Greek letters.  It advances from the previous exercise in that letters are copied and not traced.  The text copied is 1 John 2:1-5.  This exercise should be repeated until all the Greek letters are familiar and written without much effort.  SA3:13-14

Guide to Pronunciation [PDF]  Instruction
The first step in learning to read New Testament Greek is to recognize the letters of the alphabet, and then to blend the vowels and consonants into syllables and then words.  Twenty sentences are used in this exercise as a guide to the proper pronunciation of the Greek letters by using known English sounds.  SA3:15-16
