Students will learn the Greek alphabet in the first class. They will leave this class being able to sound out Greek words. There is no grammar involved in the first class. We are just getting started. As we meet more often, they will begin reading and translating and learning Greek grammar. 

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in foreign languages and history. I have taught and/or tutored this class at various levels and for various ages (middle school to university). I have traveled to and researched in the places I teach about, and I often include realia and cultural information to make the language come alive for the student. Classical languages still have so much impact on our own vocabulary and culture. It is exciting to see how we are connected to the past. 

Homework Offered
Yes, homework is given and is necessary to learn a language. Homework should not take over an hour during the whole week. Homework can be split up into segments depending on the student's needs and time management skills. I will supply the necessary components to complete the homework (printable handouts, texts, etc.).
0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Informal assessments are sent after each class. 
Grades Offered

I have created my own curriculum based on my previous studies. I draw mainly upon the Athenaze textbooks, Greek: An Intensive Course, and the Oxford Handbooks to Greek Grammar (and a few others). I also use online resources, such as audio files, to help with pronunciation, and for listening exercises (open resources from Cornell University).
