Congratulations! Greek is a tough language to learn - Don't worry, your speed will pick up! Have you tried this program?

It's free.

With Diogenes and the TLG, you click on a word and its dictionary entry comes up. I'm not sure if the New Testament is included in the demo package, but it's worth the effort to try it out. Also:

Here you can also read the New Testament with one-click dictionary look-up, without installing anything (just scroll down to "New Testament" and click on the book you want to read).
I'm so proud of you! Self-learning Greek - super tough!
