According to David Alan Black, "People who teach or write about Greek grammar tend to treat the subject as though it were a green vegetable: you may not like grammar, but it's good for you. *It's Still Greek to Me* offers an alternative approach.
I have tried to organize the book in a manner geared to the way people actually use the language, and I have done my utmost to make this book not only accurate but easy to understand and enjoyable to read. I have tried, in short, to produce a true user's guide to New Testament Greek for the twenty-first century. The only prerequisites on your part are a basic knowledge of Greek - and a healthy sense of humor."
Like other intermediate grammars, *It's Still Greek to Me* provides a comprehensive survey of Greek syntax with chapters devoted to the nuances of Greek nouns, verbs, and clauses. Unlike other grammars, this one also takes students on a brief refresher tour of English grammar.
*It's Still Greek to Me* is intended primarily for those who have finished one year of instruction in Greek and is thus best suited for second-year Greek classes or seminary exegesis courses. Its thirteen chapters can easily be covered in a one-semester course, with ample time for review and testing. Each chapter concludes with practice exercises and key terms for review.
"Out of the many attempts to make Greek grammar clear and interesting (even entertaining!), Black's book is probably the most successful. Although the author does not break from the traditional approach, there is a freshness to the presentation that will encourage disheartened students. This guide should prove especially appealing to ministers who need a refresher course." - Moises Silva.

An intermediate Greek textbook which I would highly recommend. I found this book very helpful and would highly recommend it for an intermediate Greek student. Black builds on the foundations of basic Greek and introduces and explains terminology not covered in foundational Greek courses. I would highly recommend this book. I found it helpful and I still refer to it often when translating the Greek NT.
