How to Keep your Greek
There is nothing worse than learning Greek again. Learn it once! Constantine Campbell has some sage advice on how to keep up with your Greek so you can spend time improving your Greek, rather than learning it over again each time you need it. Here is an excerpt:
From my background in music, I’m absolutely convinced that a little time practicing every day is much more beneficial than large chunks of practice interspersed by large chunks of inactivity. A little bit every day keeps it all ticking along. And it really only has to be a little. Half an hour a day reading Greek would be terrific, but even 10 minutes would be good. I know some guys who just aim to read one sentence of Greek a day. It doesn’t have to involve a big time commitment, just do a little every day.
So how can you do just a little per day? I have found the UBS Reader’s Greek NT to be very helpful in this regard. It defines uncommon words for you, and even parses difficult verbs, which keeps you reading Greek and not flipping through a lexicon.
For those counting, yes, this is my 10th (or so) plug for this book.

Now if you can just find a greek scripture feed that only sends a verse or two a day (since that's all I typically have time for).
Now that's a good idea, and wouldn't be too hard. Anyone know of such a thing?
The Reader's Hebrew Bible is also excellent.
And for those with time for more than a verse, this plan takes you through the NT in a year (with 30 days off for good behaviour). I am already several days behind.
