Greek Beginner I – Intensive

Logos Chapters 1–3; Athenaze Chapters 1–3

This course is the first level of our Ancient Greek classes for beginners, using Logos and Athenaze I as the main textbooks. Students are required to be familiar with the Greek alphabet before they start, and the ability to read fluently will be acquired during the course. Students will be introduced to fundamental grammar concepts (gender, number, declension, conjugation) and will use them in their most basic forms whilst speaking and writing. By the end of this level, students will have learned the second declension, and become familiar with the first declension and some forms of the third declension. They will also have learned the present imperative, indicative, and infinitive of εἰμί and –έω verbs, as well as the periphrastic future. Lastly, students will have learned a range of prepositions: ἀνά, ἀπό, ἐκ, πρός, εἰς, ἐν, ὑπό; and particles: καί, ἀλλά, ἤ, γάρ, οὖν, οὔτε… οὔτε, μέν… δέ, εἴτε… εἴτε.
