Completed by 3 learners

In this introductory course, students will meet weekly to begin to learn Greek through conversations and actions. Aside from the inherent beauty in the language itself, students will learn that there's something in Greek for everybody. Greek makes students better at history, English, science, and even math!

Having studied Ancient Greek on the graduate level, I have tutored clients in it the last five years. Despite often being taught as a dead language, I have helped students bring Ancient Greek to life through learning to converse in real time and interact with a text as an ordinary language.

Students will learn

3) Expand understanding of English vocabulary and grammar.

45 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
