The same will be true after one year or even six months of elementary Greek. There are some practical things you can learn now which will help prepare you for what you will encounter in your first year of Greek. One area that challenges many people during a beginning language course is what I will refer to as 'technical terminology'. Every field of specialty has its own particular set of vocabulary to refer to its elements. This terminology helps to save time in talking about aspects of the subject and enables one to have the ability to more accurately define and communicate technical details.
Technical vocabulary plays an important role in any field of specialty.
The same is true with learning a language. The technical vocabulary of learning Greek is 'grammatical terminology'. Whether or not you know the meaning of these terms now, you certainly will need to know them by the time you finish your first year of Greek. I have often said that I learned English grammar when I studied Latin and Greek. There are a number of ways that you can go about learning these terms and thus have a head start on your beginning Greek class.
