As a aspiring seminary student, I need to be able to read in German, English, Latin, Greek (Koine), Hebrew and French. [1] I can read Greek at an intermediate level; German and Latin at a basic level; and have no idea how to read anything in Hebrew or French.
The Four Knights of Theology: Latin, Greek, German, and English. I haven’t unlocked the French or Hebrew Knights yet.
To help my fluency in the three I do know, I am going to start translating New Testament texts without using and English translation at all. I’ll have the Latin, Greek, and German versions out and use my translations of those to correct myself.
As far as vocabulary goes, I figure I will just make chapter vocab lists and work off of those.
- And if I really want to be competent, I should pick up several others [↩]
