Grammar-Translation, Communicative Approaches, and Ancient Languages

The Biblical Languages Podcast (brought to you by Biblingo)

This episode is a recording of a livestream event hosted by the Ancient Language Institute. They invited Nick Messmer, co-founder of Biblingo and co-host of the Biblical Languages Podcast, to be a part of their roundtable discussion about how to learn ancient languages, specifically in light of modern second language acquisition research. The conversation was about 2 hours long, so we're splitting it up into 2 parts for the podcast. In this first part, we talk about about our backgrounds, the grammar-translation method, comprehensible input, and communicative approaches.
