Reading Greek

First published in 1978, Reading Greek has established itself as a best-selling one-year introduction to ancient Greek for both students and adult learners. The joint expertise of the Joint Association of Classical Teachers forms the backbone of this course, which artfully blends modern and traditional language-learning techniques. Its wide use in schools, summer programs, and universities across the globe underscores its effectiveness, and it has been translated into several other languages to reach even more enthusiasts. This second edition, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007, features a substantially revised presentation of grammar to align with the needs of today’s learners. The volume, redesigned with vibrant colour, offers comprehensive grammatical support and a rich assortment of exercises that cater to a variety of levels. Enhanced Greek-English and English-Greek vocabularies, along with a detailed reference grammar and insightful language surveys, ensure a thorough grounding in both the mechanics and the cultural nuances of ancient Greek.
