| Goals:
|
to learn basic Greek grammar, syntax, and vocabulary
| to begin to read simple
Greek prose |
| to understand the historical
and cultural contexts of the Greek language |
| In order for us to have
a successful semester there will be some ground rules. Do not
write in your books. This practice encourages you to memorize
translations and not to learn the Greek. Also do not read a
written out translation. Make notes on vocabulary you do not
know or grammatical points you want to refer to but translate
from your Greek text. Attendance is critical in language classes
especially those which are small. Everyone must come to class
every time and must be prepared to translate. If everyone contributes
in the classroom we will be able to read Greek. |
