About This Book

A language primer advocates teaching Greek by following the natural steps of first-language learning: directly linking words to objects and actions, fostering imitation and repetition, and privileging spoken practice over rote grammatical study. It contends that adults, guided by a deliberate oral-and-experience-based regimen, can acquire a foreign tongue more quickly and accurately than through book-bound methods alone. The work critiques traditional grammar-first instruction for disrupting the bond between thought and utterance and urges that written materials serve as supplements to lively colloquial exercises that build practical fluency.
