- Learn principles. Language preceded grammar, and the latter is at best a generalization of the former.
- Learn words. Acquire a vocabulary. The first step is to know words and, further, to know them in their Greek dress.
- Read aloud. The ear lends efficient help to the eye. There is an indefinable swing even to Greek prose that facilitates study.
- Commit passages—however brief—to memory. Better than rules is a fund of actual examples, stored up in the memory, of Greek as it was spoken and written.
- With this outline the text of the forth Gospel should be used from the start (see notice on next page) for study, reading aloud, and for memorizing.
- Remember that in the end all methods avail little. The way to do a thing is to do it.
