Introductory Greek
Welcome to the course Introductory Ancient Greek Language.
This course will hopefully prepare the student to read genuine Ancient Greek texts regardless of previous experience. It will begin on a very basic level so if you have some experience you may choose to move on to a more advanced course, or assist in lesson plans with this one.
If you're coming here with no experience of the Ancient Greek Language then congratulations on your choice to begin learning it! I think you'll find that once you master the alphabet the hardest part of this course will be over.
The course will be divided into several important divisions each one hopefully no longer than four lessons followed by a review. The goal is to prepare the student to read basic Greek texts by the end.
Student Questions
So far I am the only active member creating this so my contact information is JManning 17:17, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
If you happen to become stumped or just have a general question out of curiousity then feel free to message me or any other active member involved in creating this course. I plan to create "sandbox" areas at the bottom of each lesson plan so if someone wants they can edit the question directly into the appropriate place and an answer may be given there for all to see for future reference.
Alphabet, Breathings, Accents
After having completed these first four lessons hopefully the student will be able to read and write with Greek characters. Some vocabulary will be introduced but the goal will be to familiarize yourself with understanding the alphabet in order to begin learning the language.
Lesson 1 - Alphabet
Lesson 2 - Breathings
Lesson 3 - Definite Articles
Lesson 4 - Summary of Lessons 1-3 and Introduction to Cases
Introduction to Verbs and Nouns
Lesson 5 - Present, Active, Indicative
Lesson 6 - First Noun Declinsion
Lesson 7 - Basic Prepositions, Negation
Lesson 8 - Present Indicative of "To Be"
Verb Forms of the Present Active Indicative
Lesson 9 - Future, Active, Indicative
Lesson 10 - Aorist, Active, Indicative
Lesson 11 - Perfect, Active, Indicative
Lesson 12 - Pluperfect, Active, Indicative
This is about the middle point of this course. After this there are two more noun ?declensions?, and various other syntax related concepts such as relative pronouns and compound verbs and such.
The remainder of the course will be written after these first three lesson plans have been completed.
