Synopsis

This is a one-week introduction to the Modern Greek language. The major objective of the program is to equip classicists with knowledge they can use to leverage their command of Classical Greek to gain a foothold in the modern language, essentially repurposing their Classical Greek for Modern Greek. Furthermore, the program explores the diachrony of Greek and familiarizes students with the continuities and discontinuities of the Greek language and culture. The Seminar will be hosted and supported by CHS Greece. Learn more about the International Modern Greek Seminar for Classicists.
