NOTE: I do not have pre-recorded lectures on Mounce 32-33, so Mounce will have to be your intro to the material. I’ll spend a little time reviewing the material on Monday night. Beware–when you go to Mounce’s site, the *free* material is under the “Chapter Overview” heading. Below that is the “Chapter Material” heading, which requires you to purchase the materials (hence the green buttons–green stands for money, right?).  You don’t want to click on that one, unless you’ve already purchased the package from Mounce’s website.

One of my Greek classes (at The Bible Seminary) sang this to the tune of “Jesus Loves the Little Children”; play this over and over, sing along with it, and you will learn the case endings!  To follow along, you need to have this chart open in front of you; write these case endings down as you sing the song to yourself: https://biblicallanguages.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/all-case-endings-1st-and-2nd-decl1.pdf

http://www.teknia.com/newtestamentgreek1/

Note: Mounce also has a set of “full lectures” (as opposed to “chapter overviews”) available for purchase; he has made the lectures for Chs. 1-5 available at the link above for free. You’re welcome to listen to those, too, but it will cost money to listen beyond Ch. 5.
