Greek Mythology Short Course: Learn the Ancient Greek Alphabet Through Mythology

Students will leave with a beginner's understanding of the Ancient Greek upper- and lower-case alphabet - gaining familiarity with letter names and forms. They will be able to write and transliterate basic words and names from mythology.

I achieved A* in both my Latin and Ancient Greek GCSEs and A Levels (British high school exams for 16 year olds and school leavers respectively). These exams featured complex language and literature components. I continued my study of these ancient civilisations at university. I have two degrees from the University of Cambridge (a Master's and First Class BA in History) - in both degrees I took papers on Ancient Rome and Greece, further adding to my classical education. 
I also have experience of teaching introductory Latin to 10/11 year olds, giving me teaching experience alongside my strong academic record.

Learners will be given a handout to review before class. Students should look at this briefly so they come to class with a very basic familiarity with the lettering and letter names - however no in-depth understanding, memorisation, or time commitment is expected! This is a class designed for beginners!

55 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
