Review
Unlike other traditional books, it does not presume a previous knowledge of another inflected language; all the explanations necessary to understand Greek are contained within the book itself.-Languages and Literature
...all the new material is very fully and clearly explained . . . so much so that I had hopes that a motivated student would be able to continue on his own . . . there are a very large number of drills and practice sentences...-Peter L.D. Reid
This is a text of such wonderful clarity that it is a delight for both student and instructor.-Lydia Lenaghan
