I do have compassion on you, Perry. I really think that 25 cents is about
all Machen's worth. I have taught out of it (but then I have only rarely
taught beginning Koine--we usually have people do a year of Attic and then
give them a tutorial in Koine if they want it), before it went to such an
outrageous price, but sentences is not the way to go for learning Greek:
one needs connected passages, and probably long connected passages of
narrative before one starts working on letters.
