What you will learn

Logos Chapters 1–4; Athenaze Chapters 1–4

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 started the first declension, becoming familiar with some forms of the third declension. They will also have learned the present imperative, indicative, and infinitive of εἰμί, -ἔω and -ω verbs, as well as the periphrastic future, and will meet the adjectives πολύς and μέγας. Lastly, students will have learned a range of prepositions: ἀνά, ἀπό, ἐκ, πρός, εἰς, ἐν, ὑπό, μετά+gen., παρά, περί; and particles: καί, ἀλλά, ἤ, γάρ, οὖν, οὔτε… οὔτε, μέν… δέ, εἴτε… εἴτε.
