Description

If you are a philhellene, or if there is any reason that you want to learn Greek, and you have not known anything about the Greek language yet, the proper way to start learning a foreign language, is to study the letters of that language first, to be able to read and write words and sentences of that language. This course is made for absolute beginners (for people who do not know anything about Greek).

In the first sections of this course, I teach the Greek letters one by one. I show each letter at a time, I teach some words that start from that letter and I show how that letter is written by hand (a good way to learn the Greek letters is to watch my lectures and to have paper and a pencil to draw the letters with me). Each lecture is accompanied by a small quiz, and at the end of the first sections that I teach the letters, there is a bigger quiz each time.

Afterward, I teach the Greek way of reading (first some easy words, and then, as the lectures go on, I teach more complicated words). In these sections, I teach all the important combinations of Greek letters (combinations of vowels and combinations of consonants).

Finally, an extra section is made for some introductory stuff about Greek grammar. I teach in this section the Greek verb “to be”, all the Greek tenses, and the Greek articles and I explain what are the declensions.

The course contains two practice tests as well!

Who this course is for:

  • Philhellenes and other people who want to learn Greek as a foreign language
