Greek: Summer Intensive Introductory Ancient Greek

Program(s): Sli Precollege, Sli Undergrad

This course is currently at capacity. Students who currently are on the waitlist will be given priority if places become available.

*Taught Online*  Summer Introductory Ancient Greek comprises a thorough introduction to the Classical Greek language in 8 weeks. 

Through a daily mixture of synchronous and asynchronous activities students learn new grammatical concepts and morphology, practice reading and translating increasingly complex Greek texts, and complete exercises in Greek to gain an active command of the language. In the latter half of the course, students will also read unadapted Greek from classical prose authors, including Plato and Xenophon. By the end of the 8 weeks, students will be thoroughly familiar with Classical Greek idiom and sentence structure, and will be able to proceed to reading courses in the language.

Course Considerations

Summer Introductory Ancient Greek is an intensive course that requires a full-time commitment on the part of the student, with assignments due and activities scheduled every day. It is expected that students will undertake independent review and memorization in the evenings.
