Opening up the fascinating world of Ancient Greek to those who haven't yet had the opportunity, this intensive course is ideal for those keen to find out more about a language and culture that underpins so much in modern life.

As well as those hoping to gain a head start in the essential research skills for future study including a Masters or Doctoral degree, this course offers the opportunity for all backgrounds and levels of education to develop their Greek and knowledge of the Hellenic world.Offered as two individual sessions or as a combined six week course, the course will guide you from complete beginner to confidently translating straight forward English text into Greek alongside the ability to read basic Greek texts.

In this supportive and friendly learning environment, you'll not only be closely involved in daily language classes and private study using the JACT Reading Greek course, but you'll also gain valuable additional insight with talks from expert guest lecturers, trips to the British Museum or Museum of London, and even workshops giving you a valuable insight into skills like papyrology and epigraphy.
