Found's Basic Greek in 30 Minutes a Day
Posted: February 20th, 2014, 6:59 pm
I'm currently going through "Basic Greek in 30 Minutes a Day" by James Found. I'm on lesson 12 and I am finding that there are typos. For example, in lesson 12, exercise 1 the word "pholla" is apparently incorrect, and should be spelled as "phylla" or "phulla." It's also the same with another word: "chousos" is supposed to be "chrusos" (or "chrysos"). I learned this by looking at the answers that are given in the back of the book. I'm assuming these are typos and I'm wondering why there has been such sloppy editing?
I'm also wondering if I can rely on this book any longer. I have only been able to find one review that has confirmed my suspicion of typos throughout the book but no given, specific examples of any typos. I'm just wondering if anyone else has this book and used it? If so does anyone have a list of typos in the future chapters so that I do not memorize the wrong spellings? Or am I just going to have to assume that I'll need to use my common sense to figure it out (as in this case)?
