I recommend with the greatest enthusiasm Wenham's 44-chapter grammar. Two
chapters per week represents a challenging but reasonable pace for most
highly motivated students. The exercises are excellent. Upon successful
completion of the grammar, students are qualified to translate the New
Testament without any great difficulty.
