Our Experience With This Course:
I am excited about this course! The Worktext teaches kids (and adults) Biblical Greek in a fun, familiar, and interactive way.
This course feels similar to an early learning English course. In the beginning, my son learned the alphabet and practiced writing the letters, he practiced saying the letters and voicing the sounds each letter makes, just as he did when he learned English.
Hey, Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek Level 3 course is a beginning level Greek course for students 10 – Adult. Each level is color coded and we are using Level 3 with the “green” color for beginners. Level 3 is also a continuation level of Greek for younger students who first used Levels 1 (dark pink) and 2 (blue), and younger students who are reading and writing at least at an upper elementary age.
If students are younger than 10 they are encouraged to start with the first two levels that have less information per page and less writing. Kids younger than 2 grade should start with Level 1 and kids older than second grade but younger than upper elementary age should start with Level 2.

We have enjoyed using this course so far. After a few weeks of using this with my 12 year old son, I could not believe how easily he learned Greek using this method. He worked on a lesson a week and completed various workbook pages each day.
Getting started with Greek.
We took a mini-break from school for a couple of weeks this summer, and he got right back to it when we got home and has already made it to Lesson 4! He is motivated to learn and really likes using this. He has never had Greek before, this was his first exposure to the language and I am very pleased with how well this curriculum is working for him.
Practice writing and pronouncing Greek letters.
At this level, learning is familiar, even though it is a different language. Similarly to learning English, with this Greek Worktext, as he learned the names of letters, how to write them and pronounce them, then he began learning how to put the sounds together to pronounce words and eventually learn to use those words in phrases.
When you look closely at some of the pictures, you might notice my son’s Popsicle stick bookmark he was using. He wanted a quick way to find all the letters in the Greek Alphabet on one page, and the Glossary of word definitions. He marked these quick references found at the back of the worktext in the Appendix with a Popsicle stick. The resources at the back help a lot in seeing the big picture and understanding.
The Teacher’s Worktext with Answer Key has helped me understand what my son is learning. This book has everything in it that the main worktext has with the addition of the answers and several teaching helps. So even though I have not had Greek language training, with the help of the book I can help my kids learn the material in their worktext and we can discuss it.
The CD is an invaluable resource for learning how to prounounce the letter sounds and words correctly. The repetition of practice with the flashcards and the Worktext help reinforce what he is learning.
More!
I have been so impressed with using the Worktext, Worktext with Answer Key, and the Pronunciation CD that we were sent for review. I am especially impressed how well my 12 year old son has progressed through it, that I decided to purchase two more copies of the student Worktext, three sets of Flashcards, three sets of the Quiz and Text Booklets, and a set of the Greek Alphabet Bookmarks (no more Popsicle sticks!).
Our additional books arrived last week! Now the 12, 14, and 17 year old boys are all learning Greek. Thank you Greek ‘n’ Stuff for creating these resources! Though the two older boys are just getting started with theirs and are a few weeks behind their younger brother, I have no doubt they will be able to catch up with him and they can learn with this method together and this will be even more beneficial for all them as they journey this course together.
All of the resources are great! I would encourage everybody to get the flashcards and bookmarks too. They are not expensive and they are an invaluable resource.
The bookmarks have the complete Greek alphabet. This resource includes the capital letter, small letter, Greek name of the letter, short vowels, long vowels, and dipthongs. The bookmarks are inexpensive and come in a set of 5. Since I only needed three for the boys, that left one for my husband and me. I love it! I am using it to mark where I am reading in my bible. It is a really handy resource to have.
These Flashcards are wonderful too. They contain 78 cards already to use, so I don’t have to cut them out of the back of the student Worktext. They are sturdy and made with a heavy duty paper so they will hold up to repeated use. They are printed double sided, so the word my son is learning is on one side and the meaning is on the reverse. Also on the reverse side is the Greek Level and Lesson Page # so he can go back and review the lesson again when needed. The cards are also hole punched to keep them organized on the provided metal ring.
I am considering getting the Level 1 and Level 2 for my younger three children so they can work through the beginning level for younger students together too. The younger level has coloring pages and fun activities and is much easier for young kids just starting out.
Additional Level 3 Supportive Products Available:
Though you can master this course with the Worktext, Worktext with Answer Key, and the Pronunciation CD, I personally think it would be worth your time to check out the additional supportive materials and bundled sets Greek ‘n’ Stuff has to offer. I would especially encourage families to at least add in the sturdy Flashcards and Bookmarks.
Each level is numbered and color coded, so be sure to buy the supportive materials that match the level you are using. We are using the Level 3 (green) so when purchasing supportive products, I made sure each one matched with the correct number and color.
A few of the additional Level 3 items available for this course include:
Flashcards. (78 Cards + Metal Ring) – $8.00
Bookmarks (Set of 5) – $6.00
Sheet Music for the Greek Alphabet Song – $2.95
Quizzes and Exams – $5.50
Answers only key – $6.00
Bible Copybook – The Gospel of John – $25.95
