GREEK 402

Elementary Modern Standard Greek

The four skills—understanding, speaking, reading, and writing—are further developed in this course. The course covers the following grammatical concepts: direct and indirect object pronouns, double object pronouns, introduction and practice of all regular verbs end- ing in omega and mu-alpha-iota the preterit tense, the reflexive, the affirmative informal command, the uses of the verbs ksero (to know) and sinanto (to meet), the prepositions yia and yiati and a review of the verbs eimai and eho. These language skills will be embedded within a cultural context which continues and expands students’ knowledge of key elements of Greek culture. Vocabulary, grammar and communica- tion skills are built through the exploration of cultural areas such as the home, vacations, jobs, childhood, youth, expressing emotions, foods, markets, and restaurants.
