Title: Discovering Ancient Greek Step by Step: A New and Efficient Method, translated and adapted from the French by Monique L. Cardell Author(s): Jean-Victor Vernhes, Hermaion Publisher: OPHRYS Publication Date: 2009 ISBN: 2708012193 ISBN-13: 9782708012196 Current Price and More Info from Amazon

From the Bryn Mawr Classic Review:
This Ancient Greek textbook is an English translation of ἕρμαιον. Initiation au grec ancien.1 Through the use of thirty-five steps, it aims to give beginning students a fundamental introduction to Ancient Greek which will provide them with the ability to tackle ancient authors in the original. In order to make the assimilation of the language more efficient, the author has limited the amount of vocabulary to be learnt by the students to approximately 700 words (p.ix) which have been chosen with regard to their usefulness and frequency of occurrence in Greek texts (p.ix). The book is designed to be used by both self-taught college level students and by those learning in a classroom environment. Although no time frame is provided for studying the material, given the density of information and the sheer amount of exercises which Vernhes provides, 10-12 months of intensive work would seem to be optimal.
