It expertly blends modern and traditional teaching methods, offering comprehensive grammar explanations, bilingual vocabularies, and multi-level exercises. Widely used in academic settings, this volume supports learners in developing reading skills alongside cultural insights, making it an essential resource for anyone serious about ancient Greek. ## Description First published in 1978, Reading Greek has become a best-selling one-year introductory course in ancient Greek for students and adults. It combines the best of modern and traditional language-learning techniques and is used widely in schools, summer schools and universities across the world. It has also been translated into several foreign languages. This volume provides full grammatical support together with numerous exercises at different levels. For the second edition the presentations of grammar have been substantially revised to meet the needs of today's students and the volume has been completely redesigned, with the use of colour. Greek-English and English-Greek vocabularies are provided, as well as a substantial reference grammar and language surveys. The accompanying Text and Vocabulary volume contains a narrative adapted entirely from ancient authors in order to encourage students rapidly to develop their reading skills, simultaneously receiving a good introduction to Greek culture. Review: One of the best Greek learning resources out there! - I'm a Latin instructor, and I've studied enough Greek to recognize the difference between good and bad Greek textbooks. This is one of the good ones. It focuses on accessibility and multiple method language acquisition. Unlike many Greek texts out there (e.g., I've heard so many students say this of Hansen&Quinn), there's no attitude of "only the best should study Greek, and if you can't adjust to outdated pedagogy then maybe that's not you." This combines the best of clearly presented grammar approach books like Crosby&Schaeffer with the reading and narrative approach of Athenaze. Is it a little annoying to have to buy three books to teach yourself? Yeah, but it's 10000% worth it. (I am submitting the same review for the other two books in the set.) Review: The ancient university is no less stingy and a practitioner of austerity than is anyone else.... - The back cover of this book boasts: "... the volume has been completely redesigned, with the use of colour." --Well, I own two copies of this useful book, and neither features colour. However, one of my teachers recently shared a photocopy with blocks of pretty blue interspersed between sections of text. My books have only grey, the dull color of cement (sometimes called "Mussolini grey"). And it gives one the feel of a cheap photocopy. We shouldn't be surprised, though; no matter how distinguished and ancient Cambridge may be, they too must obey the laws of profit. They, too, cut corners in order to maximize profits. Another disability is the streamlined, minimalist Table of Contents--It is NO HELP AT ALL!! When I want to review something, there is no information there to help me. Someone, it seemed, sacrificed content for the sake of (some sort of so-called) aesthetic! This book has many peculiarities that interfere with its utility, and it is useful; I reckon they did not have an independent eye actually check it out. The Table of Contents is an abomination, and it actually mentions NO CONTENTS whatsoever; so it is really a sort of CONTRADICTION!!! ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #105,133 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #62 in Italian History (Books) #189 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 243 Reviews | ## Images ![Reading Greek: Grammar and Exercises - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61qUUHrXNZL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Greek learning resources out there! *by I***N on December 12, 2019* I'm a Latin instructor, and I've studied enough Greek to recognize the difference between good and bad Greek textbooks.

Although the books are geared for reading, the student reinforces reading ability with texts that are easy to visualize and with listening that adds to fluency. The student can further reinforce learning with writing exercises provided and with the student's recording texts in his/her own voice. Apparently the authors realize the limitations of the grammar-translation method for the majority of learners and in these books have achieved what needed to be done.
