An accelerated section of the elementary Modern Greek course for beginners with a background in Ancient Greek.

By the end of the course, students will be able to handle daily life situations (shopping, ordering food, making reservations, buying tickets, requesting and understanding directions, etc.); will acquire daily vocabulary and basic grammatical structures; and will be able to write simple letters and brief texts.

CYA strongly encourages students to study Modern Greek while they are in Athens. CYA believes that the study of this lesson provides valuable access to the life and culture of contemporary Greece and aids in the acculturation of students.
