Editorial Reviews

"In our assessment LTRG is the best textbook for helping students to acquire high-level knowledge of Greek language, grammar, and syntax. The textbook is well-paced and proceeds logically; its abundant vocabulary notes and grammatical explanations mean that teachers and students rarely have to consult outside reference books. The workbook provides copious, well-conceived exercises, an invaluable resource for students and teachers alike, and we found its practice sentences to reflect the tendencies of Greek word choice, word order, and syntax far better than any other textbook we had used."—Ryan B. Samuels and Robert L. Cioffi, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"Learn to Read Greek by Keller and Russell clearly will be the best book available for students in the US or UK who want to learn Greek quickly, precisely, and in the most rewarding way. It is, in fact, a model textbook."—Richard Martin, Stanford University
