One of the biggest hurdles when learning Greek is the unique alphabet. This crash course aims to give students an understanding of how to read and write in Modern Greek, and provides them with the tools they need to become confident Greek alphabet users. It is suitable for complete beginners, as well as those who already know some Modern Greek but may not know how to read or write fluently. This is purely a reading and writing course, however, some basic elements of the language will also be discussed (including greetings, salutations, basic questions etc.).
