Three sections

1. Foundational Greek: Learn enough Greek to make sense of a Strong's Bible, such that when you do mouse overs in software, the information shown makes sense. Greek word studies are covered in this first section.
2. Church Greek: Learn more about Greek so that you can intellignetly use reverse interlinears. For most people learning Greek in a church context, this completes what they need to know to go much deeper in their Bible study.
3. Functional Greek. Learn even more Greek so that you can use traditional Greek-English interlinear. This section has the most Greek grammar and requires the most homework, but when done you should have total functional use of any reference tool available.

Greek for the Rest of Us cover two years of Greek grammar, the normal amount taught in seminaries. You should be able to do anything a seminary-trained person in traditional Greek can do (except for reading Greek without software).
