Elementary Modern Greek 2nd Semester

Catalog description

This is the second part of the elementary course sequence in Modern Greek and a continuation to GRE 111. The focus is still on developing and improving elementary-level proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in Modern Greek but this course places a lot more emphasis on grammar and covers content and topics that are relevant and appropriate for a second semester, elementary level II language class. Students who take this course without having taken its prerequisite (GRE 111) are expected to know how to read a simple Modern Greek text and have good command of the grammar and vocabulary introduced in GRE 111, i.e., know how to use nouns, adjectives, and verbs in the present tense. This course covers the formation of all tenses utilized in Modern Greek. In addition, yet in a limited manner, it introduces students to some aspects of Modern Greek culture and society as they relate to the topics covered in class.
