GREK 1110Greek I - Beginning Greek
Preparation for the CourseGreek Fonts Students will need to be able to read, and eventually write, the Greek characters as they appear in web pages and in document files. There are some help pages which explain about Unicode fonts, and how to set up MSWord to type in Greek. Go here to see if your computer already has a polytonic (many accents) Greek Unicode font installed. If it does not, please contact me so that I can advise you on how to find and install a suitable font. This next step is optional - you can use "insert symbol" instead if you wish. If your computer already has a polytonic Greek Unicode font, go ahead and start assigning short-cuts in MSWord for the Greek characters. If you have time, practice typing the alphabet several times.
Alphabet Practice Chapter 1 of the textbook will introduce you to the letters of the Greek Alphabet, and their approximate pronunciation at the time the New Testament was written.
