Ancient Greek is a fascinating, rich and hugely influential language - knowledge of it can help with understanding countless wider subjects, from literature and philosophy, to history or art, not to mention the wonderful world of ancient mythology!

In this class, I will introduce learners to the essential building blocks of the language - the letters. We will practise reading, writing, and pronouncing each lower-case letter. No prior experience necessary!

Before the class, students will be given an alphabet handout to review briefly and provide some initial familiarity in advance of the lesson. In the first half of the class we will then go through an engaging and interactive presentation to practise this material thoroughly. After this, we will utilise letter games and puzzles to reinforce the content. I will provide a consolidation handout after class for students' future reference. 

My classes are informative and educational, but also - importantly - supportive and engaging. There will be lots of verbal interaction between myself and the learners, with Q+As and learners' ideas always welcome. Students are also encouraged to listen to and learn from each other, building a sense of class community.

Learning Ancient Greek has given me such joy - and been so useful for my wider education. I am passionate about increasing access to this subject, and would love to help your learner enjoy this wonderful language!

If you don’t see a time that works for you - please do get in touch and I will happily try and accommodate section requests.
