[Jake Litwin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall pretty good. Has lots of grammatical errors for being the third edition.

There are better introductory Greek grammars out there.

I've been re-reading my introductory Greek textbook to try and refresh my greek and pick up some things I missed while studying the basics at seminary.

I don't have anything to compare this intro greek primer to but it is clear, simple, fairly well formatted, includes exercises to practice.

Sometimes confusing as far as the order of introduction but overall it was a good textbook. The translation exercises were at times very confusing and relied on a level of familiarity with complex linguistic concepts. It would be helpful if Baugh provided two answer keys one for a literal translation word for word and then his own translation of the text.

Great Overview... a few errors in the book.

[Mike Jorgensen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A few weird tendencies but overall a very good book for teaching and practice. It is also helped by having vocab and parsing apps available on the Apple app store.
