Pristupačnost
The Ancient Greek language course is organised by the Department of Croatian Latinity during the summer semester, according to an agreement with the programme coordinator, Assoc. Prof. Maja Matasović, PhD.
Learning outcomes
Participants will connect their knowledge of Croatian grammar (phonology, morphology, and syntax) with corresponding knowledge in Greek and recognise similarities between Croatian and Greek at all levels, including the lexical level.

Through regular exercises and guided work with the instructor, students will learn to read and write the Greek alphabet, transcribe and transliterate Greek words into Croatian, use reference literature, recognise basic morphological forms in texts, translate simpler texts from Greek into Croatian, and identify similarities and differences with Croatian and Latin.
