GTM Biblical Greek is suitable for Trinitarian Christians—Orthodox, Protestant, and Catholic—who want to study Koine Greek through Amharic. Level One builds the Greek Alphabet & Pronunciation foundation in about 30 videos, with English support and Modern Greek pronunciation. Beginners should start by Video 5 at the latest, and the numbered lessons should be followed step by step without skipping. After Level One, Level Two will continue from about Video 31 into the next stage of Koine Greek learning, supported by the complete New Testament Greek Vocabulary & Reference.

Many visitors watch individual lessons and leave. Subscribing helps you find the next Amharic Biblical Greek lessons, continue Level One in order, and return when Level Two begins.
GTM Biblical Greek is an educational project for learning Koine Greek—the form of Greek used in the New Testament and widely represented in early Christian literature.
The present phase is GTM Biblical Greek Level One: Greek Alphabet & Pronunciation. Level One is planned for about 30 numbered videos. The first 24 Level One lessons are arranged in nine subject playlists: Introduction; Alphabet; Alphabet Songs; Diphthongs & Digraphs; Diaeresis & Iota Subscript; Greek Accent Marks; Greek Breathing Marks; Greek Syllables; and Vocabulary. The master playlist currently gathers the available Level One lessons plus promotional videos, but it is not the total course count. Level Two is planned to continue from about Video 31 into morphology, grammar, syntax, and guided reading of the Greek New Testament and the Septuagint.
The primary teaching language is Amharic, with English support where it improves clarity. Modern Greek pronunciation is used as the normal pronunciation model.
This website describes both material already available and the planned direction of the project. It does not present unfinished modules as completed courses.
About 30 Level One videos are planned. Videos 1–28 are the current published/scheduled portion, not the total course. Complete beginners should start by Video 5 at the latest; the lessons build step by step and should not be missed.
5,460 New Testament Greek lemmas with frequencies, Strong’s numbers, English and Amharic meanings, pronunciation, and New Testament verse locations.
After Level One, Level Two will move into forms, grammar, syntax, exercises, and guided biblical reading.

Videos 16–25 public · 26–28 scheduled
The purpose of Level One is to give beginners the alphabet and pronunciation foundation needed before grammar: letter names and forms, vowels and consonants, diphthongs and digraphs, diaeresis and iota subscript, accents, breathing marks, syllables, and basic vocabulary orientation. Complete beginners should begin no later than Video 5, where the alphabet sequence begins; if they want the full course orientation, they may start at Video 1. Do not skip the numbered lessons; each video prepares the next.

GTM Biblical Greek welcomes learners from all Trinitarian Christian traditions, including Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant communities. Its purpose is to teach Greek carefully and systematically, enabling learners to study primary biblical texts with greater accuracy and understanding.
Greek · Geʽez · Amharic
For EOTC learners, Koine Greek can be studied alongside Geʽez and Amharic as a complementary biblical and historical language. It provides direct access to the New Testament, the Septuagint, and a large body of early Christian literature.
Greek study can help illuminate vocabulary, translation choices, theological terminology, and the historical reception of biblical texts. GTM will treat connections between Greek and Geʽez sources carefully, distinguishing documented evidence from questions that remain debated among scholars.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church belongs to the Oriental Orthodox communion together with the Coptic Orthodox Church, Syriac Orthodox Church, Armenian Apostolic Church, Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church, and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church. These churches share an ancient miaphysite Christian heritage while preserving their own languages, liturgies, and histories. Greek study can support engagement with shared early Christian sources without erasing those important differences.
Level One is planned for about 30 videos. Beginners should start by Video 5 at the latest and follow the numbered lessons without skipping. Subscribe so the next Amharic Biblical Greek lessons, future Level Two lessons, and new course updates are easier to find—not just watched once and lost.
