Review title: Too much and too little.
Product review: This was the book used by my college Greek course (back in 1985). The general consensus among my classmates at the time was that this book was too complicated for beginners (especially those who weren't of Greek orgin), and too simple for those who were considered intermediate students.Those who never spoke Greek would have fared better if there was some mention of the relationship of Greek-rooted American words to make the vocabulary a little more digestible.For someone like me, who grew up in a Greek household (but never attended Greek school or formally educated in the Greek language), the book was a bore. And, I my command of the language was the same coming out as it was going in.I have given the book (yes I still have it) to my brother-in-law, who has a degree in Linguistics and is fluent in several languages. He can't seem to use it either. Perhaps this book should have been taught on a junior-high level.
