While it doesn't have an audio component, something desirable to help a student with the new alphabet, it's a good solid book in several ways. It's well planned; each lesson has drill sentences and also increasingly complex readings from both NT and LXX. This book feels comfortable for a classicist--no eight-case system, no homiletic suggestions.
