Modern Greek

3 units

This course is designed for students who wish to communicate in basic Modern Greek or plan to travel to Greece and interact with local people. Through the course, students will develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills in Modern Greek by mastering the fundamental principles of Modern Greek Grammar and Syntax. Vocabulary will be enhanced through communicative practices and grammar will be covered through oral and written exercises. Those students who achieve this goal will have acquired valuable reading and conversational skills for further studies in a greater appreciation of Modern Greek literature. In addition to the class meetings, students will also meet at their own pace in the virtual language lab session, practicing the newly acquired material and using the online language tool filoglossia (http://www.xanthi.ilsp.gr/filog/) or other related online material (optional).
