Greek: An Essential Grammar

What it actually is

The same team's condensed grammar, written for learners rather than linguists: short chapters, plain explanations and the essential paradigms, without the exhaustive coverage that makes the comprehensive volume slow to search. This is the reference to buy alongside whatever course you use, from around A2 onward. It deliberately omits edge cases and gives no exercises, so it complements a course rather than replacing one.
