The Online Greek Textbook
This is the Table of Contents for an online Greek Textbook which I am in process of writing.
I would be grateful for comments and ideas - particularly from other teachers and from those who are trying to teach themselves Greek.
I am making these files generally available for educational purposes.
They may not be used for commercial purposes.
I retain the copyright.
I will be posting chapters as I write them, which will be as my students need them.
As time permits, I will be making some audio and/or video files of some of the lessons, and posting them to the InterNet.
They will be linked to
this page
The present chapters are tentative and subject to change. I hope to continue the project until there is a complete introductory Greek textbook available for online students, self-teachers, and home-schoolers.
If you wish to use this as a textbook, I suggest that you print the pages out and file them in a 3-ring binder.
