We are going to read Καθαρεύουσα. It uses the ancient vocabulary and the ancient polytonic accents, but its sentence structure is much closer to modern Greek.
If you are here for Ancient Greek , this will teach you the core vocabulary and the accent system without the brutal grammar of Classical Athens.
If you are here for Modern Greek , this will teach you how to read formal Modern Greek and make you sound very eloquent and well educated.
Plus, it is perfect for complete beginners! We will put the English translation right next to the Greek on the screen, read the text together, and pull out useful words to learn. No prior knowledge of Greek is required—just show up and we'll figure it out together.
