Description

This advanced Classical Greek class will meet on Sundays from 17.00-18.00 (GMT), using Greek Beyond GCSE by John Taylor. The class is conducted via Zoom. The class will require approximately 1-2 hours of independent study between each lesson.

You should already be familiar with grammar from the GCSE syllabus: all noun declensions, the active, passive and middle voice in the present, future, imperfect and aorist tenses, contract verbs, indirect statements,  uses of the subjunctive and optative moods, and the perfect tense.

In this 9 week term we will continue in chapter 3 of the textbook, including -μι verbs, verbs which takek a dependent participle, time clauses, and more uses of the subjunctive and optative moods. Students will learn about the Classical Greek world through translation of adapted passages and some unadapted texts.

Dates for the spring term are Sunday 18th January, 25th January, 1st February, 8th February, no class 15th February, 22nd February, 1st March, 8th March, no class 15th March, 22nd March and 29th March 2026.
