Beginning Modern Greek I is designed for students with little or no
previous instruction in Modern Greek. Our goal in this intensive class is to
achieve remarkable proficiency in Modern Greek through cumulative
acquisition of speaking, listening and writing skills. Instruction consists of
a 3h per day master class studying elementary aspects of the modern Greek
language based on introductory readings (focusing on grammar and syntax
as well as conversation and translation) and of a 3h per day language lab
session practicing the newly acquired material. Students will be expected
to work at least 2-3h per day on the lesson introduced the same day and to
apply themselves with enthusiasm and creativity. In return, they will
become competent in conversational fluency, reading/listening
comprehension and essay/sermon composition in Modern Greek.
