Hi, Shirley,
I like your on-line textbook very much. Your explanations are clear and concise
and your exercises allow for ample repetition. I've come to believe that it is
a good idea to read Greek sentences and then use those same sentences as English
to Greek exercises, as you do in your book. This allows for a passive and then
active "wave," as they do in Assimil. I like your appendix on How to Learn a
Language and I look forward to reading your appendix on Homer. Your book has
character. It's not dry.
Shirley wrote (in a chapter of her on-line book that she has not yet completed)
<Chapter 24 - The six Weirdos (part 1 - Futures)>
Only six? :)

Subject: [B-Greek] online Greek texbook and classes - help and advice sought
Next semester I'm due to give an online section of the Beginning Greek course I
teach.
I've had such problems finding a textbook that is in print and which emphasises
reading and understanding, but which also includes enough grammar, that I've
started to write my own.
I have a question which maybe some of you can help with - up until now I've used
SPIonic as my greek font of choice, but I suppose I should update to a unicode
polytonic font.
I'd be most grateful for advice as to how to do this, what fonts have a nice
clear typeface, and how one types both English and Greek with the same keyboard.
Thank you all so much.
I'd also be grateful for advice and feedback on what I've written so far - a
very tentative beginning of the book is at

thank you
