A Living Language Method.

Develop a high level of fluency by mastering a communicative approach to foreign language acquisition, just as you would learn any modern language, avoiding the pitfalls of the antiquated “grammar translation method”.

Comprehensible Input.

Start with simple material that is easy to understand, and gradually transition to more complex input as you gain fluency. Gradually work your way into reading and translating the original biblical text using Cross Bible's resources.

Diachronic Greek.

Start with the living language as spoken in Greece today (Modern Greek), which is the easiest form of Greek to learn. Then move back in time, building versatility in various forms of Ancient Greek (including Biblical Greek, Classical Greek and Homeric Greek).

Ecclesiastical Pronunciation.

Develop a natural accent, modelled after the intuitive speech patterns of native Greek speakers, making it easier to read naturally, avoiding the complexity of stilted, artificial pronunciation systems.

Video Library.

Progress at your own pace through carefully curated instructional videos, exercises and gamified resources, where you can jump in and skip to any level. These resources are for scholars, church leaders, translators and hobbyists.
