Halcomb Interviewed About Teaching Students To Speak Koine Greek

Today, my local city/county newspaper published a very nice, full-page interview about the Conversational Koine Institute.  The online version, which I assume most of you will read, seems small in comparison to the actual print version but in my view both are very nice and I'm thankful to have had this opportunity.  You can check out the online interview HERE (photo taken from the newspaper's website).  Thanks again, to the Jessamine Journal for sharing this.

It contains vocabulary terms that are immediately useful in daily life, a feature which helps ancient Greek come alive for learners. The illustrations are fun and the audio companion files (which can be purchased separately) also add the helpful dimension of sound; together these things engage a variety of senses, which assist students in internalizing the language more effectively. ἡ ὁδός:  The Path to Learning Greek can function as a textbook or supplement to any ancient Greek class, Koine or Classical.  You can see a sample below and get your copy on Amazon.com HERE or via one of Amazon's distributors HERE .  You can get the audio via the GlossaHouse websi...
