Learning Ancient Greek - Ancient Greek Language

(this page is under construction)

Ancient Greek is a beautiful language, but it will seem like a rather daunting task to attempt to learn it without the help of a tutor or teacher. There are, however, links available on the web for those who are looking for resources that are geared towards beginner learners of the language. My personal suggestion is that you should start from writers that wrote in simpler syntax, such as Plato, rather than writers of the older syntax or peotic structure.
