"This fifth edition is a modest enhancement of the fourth, with corrections of typos and other minor errors, occasional rewording of explanations, and a more consistent layout of paradigms"--

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From Alpha to Omega offers an encouraging and accessible introduction to Classical Greek for today's students. Its fifty brief lessons, each typically focused on one or two grammatical topics, reinforce students' learning through exercises that offer practice with the target vocabulary and — beginning with Lesson 5 — through translation of a short annotated selection from an ancient source.

From Aesop to the New Testament, Aristotle, Arrian, Demosthenes, Lysias, Plato, Thucydides, and Xenophon, the readings include passages in which students can put their newly acquired skills to immediate (and gratifying) use. From Alpha to Omega is ideal for use in classroom settings, homeschool settings, and by self-learners.

The Fifth Edition retains all of the features that have made From Alpha to Omega a bestselling introductory Greek textbook:

  • Balanced, evenly-paced lessons
  • Brief readings from Ancient Greek texts
  • Efficient translation exercises
  • Succinct, instructive vocabulary lists
  • Glossary containing all vocabulary words
  • Enhanced layout of paradigms

A robust set of additional resources, available separately, complements From Alpha to Omega: From Alpha to Omega: Ancillary Exercises, Second Edition by Jon Bruss and Jennifer Starkey, and Forty Six Stories in Classical Greek by Anne H. Groton and James M. May.

A wealth of free online video tutorials are available at the From Alpha to Omega Title Support page.
