Once again I agree. My comments were based on too small a sample.
Since I posted that comment I have had some second and third thoughts
about Funk. I have looked at about 150 pages now. I think he is worth
putting up on the web. I think that any student who is willing to
take the time to understand his framework will benefit from working
with the book.
I am not sure if he is going to be palatable to a twenty-something
north american who came up through the public school system. For
example he dives into some fairly mind numbing material in his
treatment of the third declension. I guess the title is appropriate,
this is not exclusively a beginning grammar.
Thank you Carl,
Elizabeth Kline
