This study guide has been written by members of the JACT Greek Committee for
use by those who are using the JACT course Reading Greek published by the
Cambridge University Press. It is intended primarily for those who are learning
Greek on their own, or with only limited access to a teacher. However we hope
that it may also prove useful to pupils in schools, universities and summer schools
who have to learn Greek rapidly and intensively.
The authors would like to express their gratitude for the helpful comments they
have received from those who have used the Independent Study Guide in its trial
stages, and from those fellow teachers who have read it with a critical eye. In
particular they would like to thank Professor Malcolm Willcock who has saved
them from innumerable errors by his meticulous proof-reading of the trial stages.
They are also very grateful to him and to Professor Eric Handley for reading the
page-proofs and to the copy-editor Susan Moore for all her skilled assistance.

How to use this course
You have three books:
Reading Greek: Text and Vocabulary (RGT)
Reading Greek: Grammar and Exercises (GE)
Independent Study Guide to Reading Greek (ISG)
In addition there is a CD Speaking Greek which illustrates pronunciation, and
records readings from passages in RGT.
You may also like to have The World of Athens (second edition 2008), which
gives you background information about Athenian history and life.
The fi rst two books, RGT and GE, were designed to be used together so that
1. You read the passage in RGT with the aid of the running vocabulary for the
section.
2. Then you look at the explanations of the grammar in GE.
3. Then you learn the grammar and the lists of vocabulary to be learnt in
GE.
4. Then you do the exercises for the section to make sure that you have
understood the grammar. You may want to do each section of the exercises
as you study the grammar in GE, so that you get immediate practice in a
new feature of language. It is not essential to do all the exercises on
morphology and syntax, but they will help you to practise the language and
to make sure that you understand the grammar. However, you should
always do the fi nal Test Exercise in each section, as it is an important
check on your grasp of the section.
The Independent Study Guide (ISG) contains notes on translating the text of RGT,
translations of the text, and a key to the exercises in GE.
The notes will give you some general advice at the start of a new section and
some additional help as you read the text. They are designed to help you with the
reading and to amplify the explanation of the grammar in GE; they will refer you
to relevant pages and paragraphs in GE and in RGT.
The translations of the text and the exercises will help you if you get stuck, and
will also allow you to check whether you have got everything right. Since the
