Studying Greek on your own can be daunting (I'm thinking now of participles).

Cheers

PS: Was it Milton in Paridise Lost who wrote "Greek is the key to Paridise"?

Ack - how true! The English font is bad enough - the Greek one is just terrible!annis wrote:H&Q is quite like M&F, but with a wretched font.
Raya wrote:It is definitely not an easy text to follow, though - sometimes I feel that the authors' English explanations require translation as much as the Greek!
I find it hard to excuse the lack of an answer key throughout, especially in later units.
I would also agree that the text doesn't help you enough with Greek vocabulary.

Has anyone here used it and if so what are your thoughts?
Paul wrote:I think H&Q is easily the best textbook for Attic Greek. In fact, when I want to check a point of grammar, after Smyth, I turn to H&Q. I highly recommend it.

I looked at at least a dozen texts. I Should never have doubted Paul --the man knows!. Only one book in my opinion stood out: Greek: An Intensive Course by Hanson & Quinn. Thanks again Paul.

I learned (Koine) Greek using Lyle Story's "Greek To Me" It's a tad bit goofy, but it works very well. Lyle uses mnemonic pictures to help aid the learner.

I borrowed it but I got so frustrated with the goofy pictures that I gave it back long before finishing it.
My memory is not good enough to be able to remember his mnemonic aids
