Review: Singing Grammarian Video Series by H. Daniel Zacharias
The big title actually needs to say “Greek” somewhere.
Having to read the small print to see what type of Grammar the videos are about
is less than perfect marketing; other than that, ten points for creativity! The
songs are catchy, even if the lyrics do not always match with the tunes. These
videos are plain cool and very helpful. Try one and you’ll be hooked!
The videos are strictly for memorizing the Greek paradigm
charts; so, the student needs to understand Greek grammar prior to using these
tools.
Once I had watched the videos a few times I started wishing
there was accompanying mp3’s that I could just sync to my iPod to take on the
road.
After a while, I also wished the creative attention getters
in the songs could be skipped to listen to the paradigms alone. Also, it would
have been really useful to have them repeated a few more times each to help
with memorization.
The only thing I would like to say to the creators is: when will
the Hebrew paradigms be released? I really, really need them!
Disclosure: The video series
was received for free from Kregel Academic & Ministry review program. The
program does not require a positive review, only a truthful one.
