The author’s goal is to make Ancient Greek accessible to the self-taught student by presenting one word/idea/concept at a time. The bite-sized lessons appeal to a variety of learners from children to adults. For correct pronunciation, there are free audio files to access through a website. Students learn the alphabet, to speak, practice grammar, and write a bit. The smaller lessons lend themselves to spending time daily, but you can certainly work at a pace that works with your schedule. This course will not count as a high school credit on a transcript. Includes 158 lessons with an answer key in the back. ~Sara

Category Description for Getting Started with Foreign Language Series
These Getting Started With foreign language courses were written with the homeschooled student in mind. They are an efficient way to introduce your students to a foreign language. You will cover basics of how to learn a language such as pronunciation, gender, formal vs. informal language, some pronouns, beginner vocabulary, expressions which have a cultural element, and other useful basics. Courses offered include Spanish, French, German, Russian, Latin, and Ancient Greek.
While there is not enough content here for a full high school credit, after
completing this book, your student would be well-prepared for a high school level
foreign language program. Tests can be done by backing up to the previous
lesson and having your student translate the exercises there. A parent can use
the answer key to grade these, or have the student correct their own work.
These are a good option for upper elementary or middle-grade students (and
their parents) to see if they are really interested in the further study of a
language. Helpful glossaries are included.
