# Koine Guide
> An interactive web platform that teaches biblical (Koine) Greek through word-by-word parsing exercises, clause-level translation workflow, and AI-powered feedback on student translations.

Koine Guide is designed for seminary students, pastors, and self-directed learners who want to build or maintain working knowledge of New Testament Greek. Students work through actual New Testament verses, parsing each word's grammatical form and then translating clause by clause before receiving detailed AI feedback.

## Target audience

- Seminary students learning NT Greek for the first time or reinforcing classroom training
- Pastors and ministry workers who studied Greek in seminary and want to maintain or recover reading ability
- Self-directed learners pursuing biblical languages independently

## How it works

1. The student selects a New Testament book and verse.
2. The platform presents each Greek word and asks the student to identify its grammatical form (article, noun/pronoun case, verb parsing).
3. After parsing, the student translates the verse clause by clause.
4. The student submits a rough draft and a polished final translation.
5. OpenAI-powered assessment compares the translation against established English Bible versions and provides categorized feedback (meaning transfer, clause discourse, English distortion) with a letter grade.
6. Progress is saved so students can resume where they left off and track improvement over time.
