Getting Started
The Learn Ancient Greek page will list all the textbooks we currently have for download. Read the summaries and choose books that are of interest to you.

We recommend either of the two following courses:

• White's First Greek Book - an answer key is available in the subscribers area.
• Both volumes of Rutherford's First Greek Grammar Accidence and Syntax
  

You will also want to download Goodwin's Greek Grammar. When you have questions that the textbooks cannot answer, Goodwin will!

It might be of interest to you to note that Ginn & Co. publishers produced textbooks to be learnt in a particular order. The books were designed to prepare the student for reading Xenophon. If you're interested in following this series, please explore books in this order:

1. White's First Greek Book
2. Goodwin's Greek Grammar
3. Goodwin's First Four Books of Xenophon's Anabasis
   

Great, that's all you need to get started! Start working through the lessons and use the forum to ask questions and discuss topics of interest to you.

Welcome to the group, we hope to get to know you, so don't be shy leave us a post on the open board telling us about yourself.

Do you want to learn more about Classical Civilizations in the course of your study of the Greek language. Take a look at our Classics in translation available for download. If you are inspired by anything you are reading, bring it up as a topic of conversation in the Forum.
