In this lecture we learnt grammar from textbook, corrected exercises from textbook as well as Alexandros's, and corrected my translation of a paragraph written by Xenophon. We learnt the rule of moving accents (not in textbook so far) and choosing middle/passive voices based on context. Alexandros corrected word by word of my translation which I think is super helpful because when it comes to practicing with translation, it's important to know what each word means exactly, and where each word in the translation comes from. (meanings of Ancient Greek words often depend heavily on context) It also feels great to see the grammar and conjugations we learnt appear again in real historical text. Alexandros also kindly let me practice pronunciation; from which I benefit since online sources of audios in Ancient Greek is very scarce. As usual, I came out of classroom with lots of notes taken :)

This is an another fantastic lesson. Although I haven't had classes for some weeks, Alexandros gave me a recap and it feels good to remember some grammar. Every time I come out of the classroom with tons of notes, haha

It is always great having a lesson with Alexandros, he is very helpful and thorough, really helping to polish off any areas you are having difficult with.

I've had a few lessons with Alexandros now and I've enjoyed them immensely! He’s an experienced teacher and is willing to adapt to my learning style and goals which I really appreciate. I also love how he integrates history into each lesson which really allows me to engage at a deeper level with the Ancient Greek language. Furthermore, he’s incredibly encouraging while allowing you to improve through feedback. I definitely recommend his lessons!

This has been a fantastic first lesson! I am a complete beginner in Ancient Greek and have decided it would be fun to start to learn this language during summer, and I had a pleasure to learn from Alexandros! He provided me with very detailed learning plans, and also sent me course materials before the class for me to do the preview. Alexandros entered the classroom quite early so my first lesson actually went several minutes longer than scheduled. The lesson started with Alexandros introducing me briefly the history of Ancient Greek language, and we went through pronunciations of the alphabet, as well as pronouncing rules such as diphthongs, breathings...later we went on to practice reading a fable. Alexandros is extremely patient and gives instant feedback while I tried to pronounce it, and I find this method useful to quickly familiarize myself with the pronunciation rule. I have enjoyed a great deal and am looking forward to more lessons!

Today’s lesson was incredibly interesting and well-structured. We started by correcting my homework on diphthongs and consonant clusters; Alexandros clarified every doubt, integrating the corrections with fascinating insights that made everything stick. We worked through exercises 3-6 of Chapter 1 (Ελληνικά Α΄). We also revisited the first three dialogues to clarify vocabulary and practiced reading with Exercise 7 (page 17). A highlight was the introduction to Greek accents and monosyllables, specifically the exceptions like 'πού vs που' and 'πώς vs πως'—very helpful! We even took a moment to test my Greek keyboard setup. We moved on to listening exercises and vocabulary building with Dialogues 4 and 5 (page 19). Finally, we introduced the verb 'to be' with personal pronouns, seeing how they function in real dialogue, and touched briefly on cardinal numbers 0-10. Alexandros is an excellent teacher: he keeps the pace engaging and is always encouraging.I highly recommend. Ευχαριστώ.Marco
