Hi…
Just a quick question…I have no training in Greek but I do in Latin. Is a book like the Pharr book recommended for someone starting from scratch or is something broader in order? I have a copy of Hansen and Quinn’s Greek: An Intensive Course and Chase and Phillips’ A New Introduction to Greek. I suppose I’m asking if anyone has suggestions about using either of the three.
Thanks,
Chris
I’ve only seen the Pharr, so don’t know about the others. The Joint Association of Classical teachers put out a whole series, not bad but a bit hard to find things in them at times. I still think the old White’s First Greek book is pretty good (on Textkit). Despite having the whole Adelaide University library at my disposal and various fancy handouts and booklets from the University, I still end up using White to look up various verb forms etc. It’s just easy to use.
