Quod cuique temporis ad vivendum datur, eo debet esse contentus. However, the intuitive core of the material is its strength, and all the features you've come to love are still there: Any vocabulary can be easily found in the small LSJ, so I have no problems there. And, while the JACT 1ed is cheaply available due to its supersession by the 2ed, I would strongly prefer the 2ed over the 1ed. There is grammar and exercises at the end of each chapter in Italian, but they haven't been anything special so far. I do not think this is what you will find in Athenaze. I think that have more than enough reading material for the moment, and perhaps I can think of such an expenditure s after I have finished Thrasymachus and Greek Through Reading.

However, it's a book worth investigating. Aound this part of the country, immersion means complete exposure to a language, in all aspects of life, at school for example, where all teachings in all subjects would use the foreign language.

I think that have more than enough reading material for the moment, and perhaps I can think of such an expenditure s after I have finished Thrasymachus and Greek Through Reading. An Rrading Course" on the side of "Reading Greek," or is it fine by itself? It seems to me from this thread that the second edition JACT Reading Greek might use the same approach, and at least it is in English, but as in the case of the Italian version of Athenaze, it is a costly proposition.
Last edited by Coulior du Vice on Tue Mar 11, 4: However, you could tackle the Italian edition without much more than an Italian dictionary. Look at the image on this page, for example: I heartily recommend this book.
I'm learning tons of vocabulary, and even though only the present tense and imperative has been introduced, I've read at least 15 pages of Greek. Coulior du Vice wrote: This would be possible if you will be getting your grammar explanations elsewhere, which seems to be the case.
It's done wonders for my progress compared with my stints at traditional grammars. However, the intuitive core of the material is its strength, and all the features you've come to love are jach there: God knows at least for me that there are enough temptations to read Greek or English instead of to study the grammar, so at least for now I need to continue on with what I have.
Horae quidem cedunt et dies et menses et anni, nec praeteritum tempus umquam revertitur nec quid sequatur sciri potest. Greeek do not think this is what you will find in Athenaze.

I've emailed JACT about something similar. But both courses grefk quickly enough to get you reading nice chunks of connected prose. I converted the cassette of the old edition audio to MP3s, so I could listen to them on my iPod.

I also have an email from Cambridge Printing Press: Also, there are various sections at the end of each chapter covering the grammar presented in the reading. Also, I have another question.

The revised edition really is that much better. But since it's technically just a foreign language 'edition' of Athenaze I don't think there is any demand to translate it back into English. The Independent Study Guide is, for an autodidact, a valuable asset. The real treasure is in the continuous, grsek reading.

The signifigance of this is that the book has been substantially rehauled to follow the model of Lingua Latina. The preface refers to the CD so it can't be far off.

Sorry I cannot be more specific, it is a bit too early to tell. So we English speakers are left in an awkward situation where the foreign edition is superior so I'd argue to the original, but without hope of seeing a translation of it.
Here it is if you're interested: I've edited this post at least twice so far. I'm losing my perspicacity! To answer your question, I don't think you'll see an English Orberg Athenaze anytime soon.
