Reading Classical Greek

Reading Classical Greek – a weekend course from 16–18 May

This series of weekend courses is for those who want to learn Classical Greek. The Beginners’ levels are based on Reading Greek (CUP) (i) Grammar, Vocabulary and Exercises (ii) Text. Over a series of weekend courses, students are introduced to the basic elements of grammar through reading passages adapted from ancient Greek authors. At Intermediate level, students move onto collections of passages selected from major Greek writers, and finally, in the Advanced groups, students read what they choose from the whole of Greek literature.

Please note that students who wish to begin studying Greek must attend the November course, as this is the only weekend suitable for complete beginners.

Our weekend courses begin with dinner on Friday and end after lunch the following Sunday. Meals from Madingley Hall’s award-winning kitchen are included in the course fee, which is £240. However, teachers from state-funded schools may be eligible for a £100 bursary, courtesy of Cambridge University Press, which will reduce the price to £140.

Bed and breakfast at Madingley Hall is available for course weekends for an additional £110, or £90 per person for two people sharing.

Bookings can be made online, by emailing or by calling 01223 746262.
