Reviews & endorsements
'The quality of this course is now very hard to match indeed.' Journal of Classics Teaching
See more reviewsReview of previous edition: 'A really excellent series of textbooks! Reading Greek itself is enough for learning ancient Greek. My two years' experience (2006-2008) proved this. Well-organized grammar and vocabulary, interesting texts, numerous, step-by-step exercises, wonderful audio CD, a friendly independent study guide … all these guarantee the learners' efficiency and speed.' Yuanguo He, Professor of Classics, School of History, Wuhan University
