The Living Language Method
Ancient Greek the way Socrates spoke it: not a puzzle to decode, but a language to live in.
- Classes are conducted 100% in Ancient Greek from day one, even for complete beginners.
- Grammar is learned through immersion and use, not memorisation of paradigm tables.
- Vocabulary is taught through real-world context and conversation.
- You speak, hear, read, and write in Greek from the start.
- Attic pronunciation with reconstructed pitch accent is used throughout.
- The approach mirrors how children acquire their first language.
Reading makes you full, speaking makes you ready, writing makes you accurate. All three are essential. χαῖρε is only the beginning.
Every Level, One Method
Lessons meet you where you are. The immersion stays the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the living language method mean in practice?
Classes are conducted 100% in Ancient Greek from day one. Grammar is learned through immersion and use rather than memorising paradigm tables, vocabulary comes from real context and conversation, and you speak, hear, read, and write in Greek from the start, the way children acquire their first language. This contrasts with the grammar-translation method used by most university programs.
Which dialects of Ancient Greek can I learn?
Primarily Attic Greek (the dialect of classical Athens, used by Plato, Aristophanes, and Lysias), but also Koine Greek (the common Greek of the Hellenistic period and the New Testament), and Homeric Greek for advanced students.
What pronunciation is used?
Reconstructed Attic pronunciation with pitch accent, used consistently throughout every lesson.
How are lessons conducted?
One-on-one over video call, worldwide. Lessons are tailored to your individual goals: reading classical literature, exam preparation, conversational fluency, or academic research.
How is this different from group classes elsewhere?
Ancient Greek School focuses exclusively on Ancient Greek, with private one-on-one tutoring rather than group classes, all teaching conducted in Ancient Greek from day one, by a single expert teacher, a Polis Institute Jerusalem graduate.
