Elementary Greek For Our Bookends
We often refer to Joy and Pearl as our bookends. Not only because they are the start and finish of our family, and not just because of their identical addictions to books, but also because they are alike in so many ways, it is creepy! Joy has been studying Greek on her own for awhile, using a number of good and not so good programs, so when this course arrived, she was elected to preview it for us. Not only did she like it, she thought it would be perfect for Pearl. Of course.
Self-Teaching or Parent Led
Elementary Greek is year one of a 3-year program. Designed to be used as a complete parent-assisted oral koine Greek course for children as young as 10, or even better as a self-teaching written program for older children and adults. There are 30 weeks of daily incremental lessons which introduce the Greek alphabet, basic vocabulary, grammar, memory work, and translation. The workbook provides the practice and application, so you'll want one per student.
Get Started Today
No previous Greek knowledge is necessary because each concept is covered thoroughly and reviewed regularly throughout the complete course. This is a nifty program, and Joy is probably right, it will be just perfect for Pearl!
