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.
