Description Did you ever wish you could read the New Testament-, or ancient Greek texts-, or the poems of Elytis, Kavafis, or Seferis in the original language they were written in, but you were discouraged by the thought that it will all be Greek to you? I am here to tell you that Greek is not as difficult as you may think it is. Let's examine what is needed in order to learn a foreign language. First, you have to be able to pronounce the words that you read, even if you do not know their meaning. This is quite easy when it comes to Greek; as long as you know the sounds of the letters in the Greek alphabet, you will be able to read Greek because the words are pronounced just the way they are written. Then, you have to start learning the meaning of words to build your vocabulary. However, unless you keep hearing the language being spoken around you, memorizing the meaning of words can be very difficult if you do not know grammar. The changes in the endings of nouns, adjectives, and pronouns, depending on gender, case, singular or plural, the changes in the endings and forms of verbs depending on the tense, the "person" (first, second, third) and whether it is in singular or plural etc., can make the language look confusing. Grammar classifies all that, places them in an order so that it all makes good sense. There are probably enough Greek grammar books out there, so what can be different in this book? 1) As a scientist, I like things to be presented in a very logical sequence
