You’ve tried to learn Koine Greek before. You bought the books, signed up for courses, and stared at endless grammar rules and vocab lists. But after weeks of effort, you’re still struggling to read a single verse without a dictionary. The boredom sets in, motivation dies, and you give up – again. You’re left relying on English Bibles, missing the depth of the original text.

Why does this happen? Most courses treat you like a child learning from scratch. They drown you in abstract grammar while ignoring the real bottleneck – vocabulary. You waste hours on rote repetition that doesn’t stick, leading to 90% forgetting rates.

• Grammar-First Books like Bill Mounce’s “Basics of Biblical Greek” or Croy’s Primer: They obsess over rules but leave vocab to you. Result? You understand structures but can’t recognize words – useless for actual reading.
• Visual Flashcard Apps like Greek For All or FlashGreek: Handy for quick reviews, but they become crutches. Pre-made images hamper true recall, and you can’t use them hands-free during commutes or chores. Plus, more screen time? No thanks.
• Reference Books like Trenchard or Metzger: Great for lookups, but not for systematic learning. Not designed to build fluency fast.

For a more complete discussion of the tradeoffs involved in other approaches, read our course comparison article.

Speed Greek flips the script. We focus on vocabulary first – the 80/20 key to fluency – using mnemonic stories tied to your English knowledge. Pioneered by James Heisig (who sped up Chinese character recall by 20x), our adaptation for Biblical Greek delivers 5-10x faster results based on early testing. The more fluent your English, the faster you’ll go.

Each word gets a vivid, story-based hook that sticks in your mind. Learn while driving, exercising, or doing chores – no books or screens required.

How Speed Greek Works (Simple 3-Step Process)

1. Listen to Audio Lessons: 70 minutes covers the first 102 high-frequency New Testament words with engaging mnemonic stories.
2. Visualize and Reinforce: Use the PDF for visuals if desired.
3. Test and Retain: Use our pre-made Quizlet decks or print flashcards (printable PDF included with course) for spaced repetition.

Result? You’ll recall words instantly, making grammar intuitive later.

Benefits of the Speed Greek Method

• 5-10X Faster Learning: Memorize 102 words in days, not weeks, by leveraging English “hooks” for effortless recall.
• Hands-Free Flexibility: Podcast, MP3, or PDF formats fit your life. Learn on the go without extra screen time.
• Fun, Not Boring: Mnemonic stories create mental images that stick – no more dull repetition.
• Path to Full Fluency: Unlock the New Testament, Septuagint, Church Fathers, and 50% of ancient literature as if you were a native speaker.

Academic Credentials

My name is Joseph Clampitt. I have no formal degrees in Biblical Greek. I’ve never attended a Bible College or Seminary. Nor have I studied Greek in a secular university.

But I do have impeccable academic credentials.

1. I hold an Ivy League Physics PhD, and I have spoken extensively at top-tier universities worldwide: from Princeton, Stanford, and UC Berkeley all the way to Japan, Australia, and England. (See my full academic CV on my personal site).
2. I finished my Physics PhD in 4.5 years (6 years is normal).
3. I mentored several students, including Tae-Hyeon Shin and Yuedong Fang, both of whom earned their own Astrophysics PhD.
4. I’ve published over 20 peer-reviewed physics papers which have been cited over 2000 times. (See my Google Scholar profile and the full list of publications on my personal site).

I know how to learn and teach the most complex subjects by reducing them to their simplest core concepts. And I want to assure you that learning Biblical / Koine Greek is much, much easier than Astrophysics.

1/1

The Vocab Blitz program is the system I needed when I started learning Greek. Aside from spending two months with a private tutor, my Greek is all self-taught. My progress stalled for months as I struggled to learn Greek vocabulary. Neither my tutor, nor dozens of books, online resources, or other courses provided the vocab breakthrough I needed. It wasn’t until I built the Vocab Blitz system for myself that Koine Greek started to click.

I’m so confident in this system that I want to take all the risk. Follow my 5-day Learning Protocol below (30 mins/day listening or testing). If you recall less than 90% (under 92/102 words) on Day 5, email [email protected] with your missed words for a full refund.

Within the first 30 days of purchase, set aside 5 days in a row. Each of those days, spend at least 30 minutes doing the following.

1. Day 1: Listen to the audio mnemonic for half the words (about 50 words)
2. Day 2: Use flashcards to test your recall. Review the mnemonics for missed words.
3. Day 3: Listen to the audio mnemonic for the rest of the words (the other 50+ you didn’t do on Day 1)
4. Day 4: Use flashcards to test your recall of all 102 words. Review the mnemonics for missed words.
5. Day 5: Again test your recall using flashcards for all 102 words in Level 1.
6. …If you scored less than 90% on that final test, email [email protected] with a list of the words you missed.
7. Watch your credit card statement for your full refund, no questions asked.
