5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book and get going with your Greek, 20 Dec 2000
By K. Farrington (Missegre, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Reading Greek: Text: Text Pt. 1 (Paperback)
For years I have felt let down by my schooling that didn't provide me with the Classics. I purchased the JACT Latin Course three years ago and after less than two years study I took a Grade A distinction at A level Latin. It was only a few weeks after and I purchased the three JACT volumes to start Greek. It is fabulous! The lessons are arranged by yourself at your pace. The material is interesting and well laid out. I am nearly ready to take my Greek A level and I feel as confident as I did with my Latin. To be sure, I also supplemented this with Wheelock (in Latin) and Athenaze for Greek. It is tough going at times but the rewards are tremendous and the opening up of the minds of Athens Golden Age as well as the Latin great works of philosophy and literature are the carrot that keeps me going. Full marks JACT! I wish that I had started this 20 years before but well, better late than never.

4.0 out of 5 stars Part one of the three part series -- Greek text, 14 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Reading Greek: Text: Text Pt. 1 (Paperback)
This book contains the Greek text for the three part series. A break-through method for teaching classical Greek, the emphasis is on reading graduated levels of modified Greek texts from various authors. Rather than the traditional method of reading a few sentences, and a heavy dose of grammer, this series provides an excellent balance of text with grammer. The grammer and vocabulary is found in the second book of the series, and the third book is the "Self Study Guide". I would recommend that you purchase all three books for a complete two year course in classical Greek. If you have a background in Latin, or have a Greek teacher available, this course is excellent for self-study.

3.0 out of 5 stars The second book in the series., 14 Nov 1997
By A Customer
This book is designed to be used with "Reading Greek -- Text". It provides the grammer and vocabulary portion of the course. A separate "Self Study Guide" is also available. This book includes a reference grammer, dictionary, and grammatical index. The grammer is fairly basic, but has an interesting section on Homeric grammer. The vocabulary has some rather colorful entries == "go to hell", "phooey", etc are included. The emphasis is on reading and understanding the text rather than on providing an extensive grammatical reference. It strongest feature is that it includes a running vocabulary. Each section has a group of words to memorize, and you are not expected to learn all the new words for each section. Thus, the "non-essential" vocabulary is repeated for each section.

1.0 out of 5 stars Fumbly. Very fumbly.
Words simply cannot describe how stupid it is to have text in one book and vocabulary in another. Greek's hard enough to learn in the first place without that extra obstacle. Read more

The content is boring, the vocabulary to be learnt is irrational, grammar is introduced at random points, and the layout is, as the Greeks say, kakistos. Read more
