Welcome to Paul Nitz's Youtube Channel.
Here I have videos I taped as review tools for my students,
some videos about the value of gestures in learning Greek as an autodidact,
and some other videos posted as correspondence to others.

Luke 18:1

Internalizing the Greek by explaining and commenting on it in Greek. 
 
Includes a Greek quotation from the 1594 version of Luther's Small Catechism, translated into Koine! Hertzberg,"Catechisis D. Martini Lutheri minor Germanice, Latine, Grace, & Ebraice"

James 2:12-13

First read James 2:8-11 in the Greek.  Then take a look at this video and tell me if it helps you to internalize it.  It certainly helped me to "think" it.   I used gestures and a bit of American Sign Language.

James 2:8-11

This is the ninth video in a series. These are my exercises in Internalizing the Greek of the Epistle of James. This particular video was difficult, but fun to do. 
 
These exercises are working for me. Creating these videos is not the sole thing I do to internalize this Greek. I figure out the Greek and make sure I can pronounce it and understand it fluently. Then I make these videos. And finally, the most rewarding, each time I look at the next few verses, I start reading from Chapter 1, verse 1. This cumulative reading has been very rewarding. I am understanding James's line of thought better. 
 
I think learners could take these videos as an example of some elaborative rehearsal that can be done with a short text. These videos will not serve well to bring a person to comprehension of the text. But after comprehending the text, the videos could be used to some advantage.

James 2:2-4

Internalizing through visualizing.  παραλογιζεσθαι was a tough one.  I took it to mean misrepresenting the count to one's self.
