Learn Ancient Greek in 64 Free Lessons: A Free Online Course from Brandeis & Harvard

Leonard Muell­ner (Pro­fes­sor Emer­i­tus of Clas­si­cal Stud­ies at Bran­deis Uni­ver­si­ty) and Belisi Gille­spie (Phd can­di­date at UC Berke­ley) have post­ed 64 videos on YouTube, which, when tak­en togeth­er, “present all the con­tent cov­ered in two semes­ters of a col­lege-lev­el Intro­duc­tion to Ancient Greek course.”

The text­book used is Hansen, Hardy, and Ger­ald Quinn. Greek: An Inten­sive Course. 2nd edi­tion. New York: Ford­ham Uni­ver­si­ty Press, 1992. And if you read the blurb that accom­pa­nies each video on YouTube, you’ll find out 1) what mate­r­i­al each video cov­ers, and 2) what pages are being used in the Hansen & Quinn text­book.

Made avail­able online by Har­vard’s Cen­ter for Hel­lenic Stud­ies, the playlist of Ancient Greek lessons will be added to our col­lec­tions, Learn 48 Lan­guages Online for Free: Span­ish, Chi­nese, Eng­lish & More and 1,700 Free Online Cours­es from Top Uni­ver­si­ties.

    I am very excit­ed to start the course. I just pur­chased the book on ama­zon, and as soon as it arrives, I will begin.

    I am also look­ing for­ward to tak­ing this course. I fol­lowed an EXCELLENT intro to Attic Greek course at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Ottawa, using this book, then fell out of prac­tice but kept the book because I want to dive back in. I have been look­ing for guid­ance to go back through the text­book and can’t believe I have found this, the answer to my prayers! Let’s get start­ed!

    I was very glad to find this course, but I do hope Pro­fes­sor Muell­ner will face the cam­era (and his stu­dents).
