Shawna in Texas Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 We've decided to take a break from Latin for the rest of the year and do a Greek intro. We've made it through Latin Prep 2 and dd is frankly quite burnt out and would like to do Greek. I would like something fun and preferably with some audio. I would prefer secular, but I'm a little bit flexible. Any suggestions? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoPlaceLikeHome Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Greek for Children is coming out in 2010:) LFC seems fairly secular and I prefer secular as well. http://classicalacademicpress.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawna in Texas Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Anyone know anything about The Greek Alphabet Code Cracker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cylau Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 We have just finished the Greek Alphabet Code Cracker book. DS7 likes it. It tells a story and it is quite entertaining. He learned the alphabets. The book barely touched on consonant blends, vowels and diphthongs. I think it is a great introduction to Greek for a 7 yo boy.

Laura Corin Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Classical Greek for Beginners, distributed by Galore Park. It's a bare-bones introduction (no audio, no answer book) but has been a good basic book. About Latin: if possible, try to keep the grammar fresh, even if you are moving forwards. It would be a shame to lose all you have learned in case you want to pick it back up again later. Calvin found LP2 tough. We had a hard time about half way through it. We did find that it lightened up towards the end and started to enjoy it. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I plan is taking a random assignment in LP2 and having her do one or two a week to keep fresh. Maybe even do some review with SYRWTLL 1. The middle of LP2 kicked our butts and that is what made her want a break. I have Galore Park's Greek bookmarked. I am concerned that it doesn't have answers or audio, but the price is good.

AnneC Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 We're using Elementary Greek which can come with audio that I wish I had bought. It is definitely not secular, all the memorisations are from the Bible. As a textbook though I really like it, the kids have learned the alphabet really easily and some of them can read and translate a little bit too. I think, if you wanted, you could probably find some other passages for memorising and skip the Bible verses, I just don't have the time or the resources to do that at the moment.

Hi, answers to the GALORE Greek are on the way. Should be out early in the new year, if that helps. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
