This text is used for full-time students in the Classics depts of Maynooth
College (where one of the authors teaches ), Trinity College Dublin and
University College Dublin
It also is used in the U.C.D adult education classes, and last year I
finished a three year evening course ( two hours a week ) based on it.
For those thinking of using it, as Carl puts it, " as a self-instructing
text ", I would strongly advocate getting "An independent study guide to
'Reading Greek' " published by the The Joint Association of Classical
Teachers' Greek Course ( Cambridge U.P 1995 ) ISBN 0 521 47863 4
Whether using "Reading Greek" in class or solo, a very interesting adjunct
is "The World of Athens: An Introduction to classical Athenian culture"
(Cambridge U.P 1984) ISBN 0 521 26789 7 (hard cover)
27389 7 (paperback)
Apart from its own merits, it has a useful index, keyed to the sections of
"Reading Greek", so that background can be absorbed along with the textual
study.
Enjoy!
