The method used in the style of teaching was to regard the Koine Greek language as a living language and learn it in a similar way we learn our own mother tongue. As babies and young children, we learn by listening, seeing and copying our parents.
Many Bible Colleges and Seminaries still use the traditional way to teach Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic and Latin. In the UK Jeremy Duff's book, The Elements of New Testament Greek is widely used. It is based on John Wenham’s book which in turn was based on H. P. V. Nunn’s book of the same title first published in 1914. One century later, little has changed. The student is immediately confronted with the alphabet, grammar and paradigms of noun declensions and verb conjugations of the different categories. Learning the language which God chose to reveal the divinely inspired New Testament becomes a loathsome chore.
Grammar is necessary but it ought to be learnt at a later stage. Young children have learnt an extensive vocabulary and can articulate sentences without knowing the grammatical terminology. Some children are bilingual and have the ability to translate from one language to another automatically, without knowing the underlying grammatical jargon and rules. This course aims to introduce the language in a natural way. Noun declensions and verb conjugations come in the latter part. Of course, if one wishes to become proficient one ought to learn the grammar and read the NT in Greek throughout one's life.

A fourth publication occurred in1979. It was Evangelos’s desire to update the book and republish it. However, ill health and lack of funds prevented him from doing so. Shortly before he died, he gave me permission to make the book freely available on the internet. I have included at the end of the book two short biographies (one in English and the other in Greek) of Evangelos.
The book is written solely by Evangelos Tzelis. There is no co-author.
