"The grammar explanations in this book are extensive and great.
My only complaint is that they aren't any answers to the exercises in the book except for the unit self-exams. This makes it hard for those learning outside the classroom like myself.
Oh yea let me add that this book isn't really exciting unless you're really serious about learning Greek. It's a think volume without graphics, color or humor."
"Hardy Hansen, the coauthor or this textbook, was my instructor for one semester of the Greek Courses at Brooklyn College. It was privilege and a delight to have an author teach from a textbook used in colleges around the nation. The approach to Ancient Greek in this text was not merely so learn declensions and conjugations of nouns and verbs, but also to show how the language works on a linguistic level. Learning Greek was useful, believe it or not, to not only gain insight into a lost world but also to see how our own language(s) have been influence. It's not a dead language by any means, since it is still present in some form in our daily lives today.
Greek does not translate directly into standardized English since the verb tenses were numerous and divergent from our own. However, a colleague of Hansen's who also taught Greek to me in Brooklyn College, once gave me an midterm in which it was easier to translate the Greek into Ebonic. I am not kidding. The translations come out a little smoother and more accurate."
