Description
Beginning Greek: A Functional Approach provides an inductive approach to learning the language, focusing on reading substantial passages from original literature rather than memorizing rules and forms. As students progress through the book, grammar and syntax are introduced alongside the readings.
The text features explanatory notes accompanying each passage, a literal translations appendix, and a presentation of grammar in large units, offering a unitary view of the language. The progression of passages takes students from easier New Testament Greek to more challenging Attic Greek.
