beyond the wide world's end

Not Chase and Philips. Don't get me, wrong, I've had worse language textbooks, but...it reads like Allen and Greenough, which works if you already know what it's talking about but not so much if you're just learning it. And the examples...D: Some of them don't make sense when you translate them right (I assume they're real Greek phrases, but don't they have any normal ones?), so how are you supposed to do the common sense check? And most textbooks start out teaching you normal words- man, woman, cat, dog, boy, girl- but this one starts with, like, deathless. And the present and future tenses are introduced in the same chapter (not that it's that complicated, but still...)

I ordered Reading Greek off of Amazon; hopefully it'll be better. But Greek really looks like it needs some new textbook writers. (if you need drill, there are probably old textbooks up on Google Books/Project Gutenberg)
