I like how quickly it introduces the biblical text to the reader.Eagerness to read the Bible in its original languages shows no sign of abating. The endeavour can, however, be daunting and opportunities for studying Biblical Hebrew in educational settings are shrinking. Other courses, including online ones, are available but often very costly. This book, consequently, fulfils an important service.

They're really discreet for bringing out at the dinner table, pretty much fitting in your hand, and avoiding the truly obvious tourist look!” “Ideal as a quick reference guide split in to logical topics.

The accompanying activities will help students master vocabulary and key grammatical topics, while helping teachers assess comprehension and organize class discussions and projects."Judy Hochberg, Fordham University, USA."From inclusive language to artivism in Cuba, from the Spanish of Equatorial Guinea to the fight for justice in El Salvador, El mundo hispanohablante en textos offers a rich, vibrant collection of texts accompanied by carefully-designed activities that bring to life the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Hispanic world. A very welcome resource."Ángeles Carreres, University of Cambridge, UK. "El mundo hispanohablante en textos approaches the didactisation of authentic written texts for the Spanish-language classroom in a fresh and reinvigorating way. This is an invaluable resource that not only offers students a glimpse into the Hispanic world through texts, but also supports Spanish-language educators in fostering a pluricentric language learning experience for students. An essential addition to any intermediate or advanced Spanish-language course." Craig Neville, University College Cork, Ireland. "The collection of texts which has been assembled by Macías Fernández and Pountain successfully brings up to date and improves on the long-standing tradition of Spanish readers. With modern Panhispanic verve, they have selected texts not only from Europe (Spain) and America (various countries, including Mexico, Guatemala, Argentina and Chile), but also from Africa (Equatorial Guinea). This collection will be excellent for intermediate and advanced students who are trying to improve their lexical knowledge, syntactic competence and sociolinguistic insight in Spanish, thanks not only to the variety of pedagogical activities it offers but also to the extensive glossary provided."Daniel M.

Book SynopsisWhy learn to write in a dead language? Because a really good understanding of a language can only be attained by using it actively. Unlike earlier textbooks aimed at schoolboys, this work addresses modern adults who want to understand concepts fully as they learn. Drawing on recent scholarship where appropriate and assuming no prior background except some reading knowledge of Greek, the course combines a structured review of paradigms and vocabulary with clear and comprehensive explanations of the rules of Greek syntax. Large numbers of exercises are provided, both with and without key: a complete set of cumulative exercises and another set of non-cumulative exercises for those who prefer to dip into specific sections. The exercises include, as well as English sentences and paragraphs for translation, Greek sentences and passages for translation, analysis, and manipulation. A full English-Greek vocabulary and list of principal parts are included.Trade Review'Eleanor Dickey's book is nothing short of a complete, stand-alone Greek prose composition course, one that touches on the sorts of skills and practice found in recent studies to be essential to language acquisition: alternating composition with reading and analysis of sentences in the target language, constant self-testing, engaging students' recall, interleaving various types of exercises, regularly revisiting common structures, and recontextualizing important skills. There is simply no other Greek prose composition book like it.' Ryan C. Fowler, Franklin and Marshall College, Pennsylvania'Dickey's book satisfies a long-standing need for a serious, comprehensive textbook in Greek prose composition. Indeed, until now, teachers of Greek composition have had to rely on antiquated primers more than a century old, often geared to very young students rather than those at University level. Dickey's book offers students both basic and complex grammar review, and then gradually shows them how to think about style as well. Written in lucid, contemporary prose, with a variety of exercises systematically presented, this book will surely become the standard choice of our time for teaching Greek prose composition and style.' Ralph M. Rosen, University of Pennsylvania'This is the book on Greek syntax that every teacher of Greek composition has always wanted. After using earlier versions of it in class over the years, I have to express my full satisfaction because each part serves entirely the needs of both students and their instructors. Students have at their disposal exercises that can be done in class, others that can be assigned as homework and more that can be used for extra practice. The ten exercises in each lesson that are in the answer key can also be useful when a student has to miss a class. At the end, students are fully prepared to proceed to a higher stage of learning how to compose passages in the style of a certain Greek author.' Raffaella Cribiore, New York University'A pragmatic and hands-on textbook which will be of great value to those seeking to deepen their linguistic skills by back-translation.' Martin Revermann, University of Toronto'Dickey dedicates this book to her students, and this devotion to students can be felt on every page. The choices made, the added details, the streamlined exercises all betray her thoughtful care and genuine concern for the student's experience. Witnessing my own students work through this book proved my original impressions about it: the students not only quickly improved and mastered the material despite its challenges, but clearly enjoyed doing so. But the best news of all may be that with the book's partial answer key and clear instructions, no student needs to wait until the class is on offer at their (or some nearby) university: just go buy the book, get to work, and enjoy it.'
