• MS5000 Greek 1

This course is for beginners who have very little or no knowledge of Greek. It provides a very basic acquaintance with the language, enough to allow students to communicate on an everyday basis. Although reading and writing are not stressed, the students do become familiar with the Greek alphabet and are taught to read in order to be able to recognize road signs, street names and any other written Greek they might come into contact with on a daily basis. Very basic grammatical structures are taught through simple dialogues and phrases. Students are encouraged to create their own dialogue and to use Greek outside the classroom. In writing, students will learn how to gather and use information for different purposes. In speaking and listening, students will use different strategies for different communication purposes. In reading, students will use the reading process to interpret a variety of texts.
