Students will learn the Greek alphabet, pronunciation, vocabulary, nouns, verbs, and basic sentence structures, building the skills needed to read and write in Ancient Greek. Taught by Bekah (M.A. in Biblical Languages: Linguistics, Liberty University), this course blends academic rigor with encouragement and hands-on practice, enriching both the mind and heart. Students will complete quizzes and a final test to track progress, ensuring they gain a strong foundation for continued study in Greek II next semester.

This is more than a language course—it’s an opportunity to grow in understanding, critical thinking, and appreciation for the biblical text.
