Greek Exercise 1

EXERCISE 1 Look in your book for information concerning the alphabet. Study all the available information in the chapter concerning the alphabet. It should show you what the letter looks like, what its name is, and how it is pronounced and transliterated. Memorize the alphabet. Be able to write the letters also. On the 1st line below (where the text boxes begin), in the first block, which is the clue block, select the "transliteration" (how it is pronounced) of the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the second block, the block to its right, write (or type) it. On the 2nd line, write the transliteration of the second letter. On the 3rd line, the third. On the 4th, the fourth letter. Answer the question by typing it out in the box provided on the right hand side. Use your clue box (selection box) only when you think you need it. Make sure your answer agrees with at least one choice in the selection box. After you have finished the questions, press here to check the answers. Make notes and keep your work in a folder. You can learn on your own if you give yourself a chance. Simply check your answers, and take the quizzes when they are available. They are designed to grade your answers automatically. If you get less than than 80 per cent, I. suggest you review the material and take the quiz over. (Note: The dropdown selection boxes give you a clue.)
After having studied the previous pages, can you type the letters of the alphabet?

1. Type the first letter of the alphabet in the box at the right.

2. Type the second letter of the alphabet in the box at the right.

3. Type the third letter of the alphabet in the box at the right.

4. Type the fourth letter of the alphabet in the box at the right.

5. Type the fifth letter of the alphabet in the box at the right.

Look up the word "transliterate" in the dictionary. You will need to learn how to use the process of transliteration. We will be using it from now on.

Below, on the 6th line , tell me how many letters are in the Greek alphabet.

Look in the Greek text at Luke 1:1. Transliterate the Greek letters into English letters for the first word that appears. Write this on the 7th line.

Do the same for the next word on the 8th line.

Look up the first word that appears in your text in your Greek lexicon: --epeiday'per. You may be able to see it here: http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/ptext?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0155&layout=&query=Luke%3A1%3A1&loc=Luke%201.1. Just press the link, then copy and paste the rest of the url into the browser when you are at the Perseus site. If you do not have broadband, it may take some time to load. Here is another site: Luke 1:1. You do not have to use this link, if you don't have a text yet, you may pick a manuscript from anywhere you choose on the Internet. You may use Strong's or other, and your book's transliteration may not exactly agree with mine: Examples. Write what the word means on the 9th line. Learn how to transliterate consistently as we go even though the tutor's transliterations may vary. The tutor's transliterations are merely meant to be intelligible enough for you to grasp what the word is. You will have to decide how you want to transliterate from the beginning and refine your technique as you go.
