Yes, this was the text from which I first learned and taught. I appreciated
its introduction to English grammar, but found three drawbacks: its lack of
accents leaves students at a disadvantage for advanced study; its treatment
of third declension nouns late in the book makes mastery of these forms
difficult; its made-up exercise sentences do not enable the student to get a
feel for the style of NT Greek.
