Year 2 reviews and expands Year 1 material and teaches dative and accusative case, direct objects, use of negative, personal pronouns, conjunctions, imperfect active indicative verb tenses, deponent verbs, masculine nouns with sentence constructions, and translations. Lessons include presentation and review of memory verses, new conjugations coupled with review, declensions and review, irregular verbs with review, and systematic vocabulary presentation and review.

Finally, a Greek text that's both simple and substantial!

Thirty weeks of daily lessons in the textbook insure a complete school year of brief, incremental lessons with no additional planning. The student workbook provides practice and application at each step of the way. An audio companion CD is available to aid in pronunciation of individual letters, words, grammar paradigms and passages.

If you are looking for an easy-to-use program that teaches New Testament Greek in a straightforward and uncomplicated way that can be used with all ages (even students as young as 2nd grade), then your search is over. Elementary Greek is just that sort of program! Lessons are brief and incremental. Each concept is covered thoroughly with regular review. The teacher needs no previous knowledge of Greek and, in fact, both older students and adults can use the course as a self-teaching study. There is a basic simplicity in all the material, but don't be fooled! This course also provides substantial coverage of the language of the New Testament. Speaking of which, did you know that Koine Greek was the language of the common people not quite as precise as classical Greek and the language of business transactions and everyday activities? Interestingly, by comparison, material covered in Year 1 of Elementary Greek isn't covered until Level 3 of Hey, Andrew!
The format for each year's course is the same - 30 lessons divided into 5 days of lessons. Lessons include presentation and review of memory verses, new conjugations coupled with review, declensions and review, irregular verbs with review, and systematic vocabulary presentation and review.

Other course components include: Audio Pronunciation CDs, Flashcards, Test Books, and Answer Keys (Year 1 & 2 only). Each Year Set includes the text, workbook, CD, flashcards, tests, and answer keys (except Year 3).
