Ancient Greek 2800-AIGRE

Greek was one of the key common languages of antiquity, so
archaeologists across different periods and cultures come in contact
with the language. This introductory course aims to teach students the
fundamentals of the language through a hybrid approach based
primarily on the reading method, which is focused on comprehending
meaning directly from original texts without translation. Students will
encounter texts chosen for comprehensibility and of increasing
complexity, tracing patterns and following narratives. The reading
method will be supplemented by grammatical and translation exercises
for a rounded learning experience.
Classes will consist primarily of guided reading sessions, along with
discussion, grammatical lessons, and translation. Students are expected
to devote a significant amount of time outside the classroom to prepare
for each lesson by reading the assigned material, doing exercises, and
coming ready to ask questions and participate in class activities.
