Lessons in Latin / Ancient Greek - Unterricht in Latin / AltgriechischLatein wird leicht, wenn du weißt, wie du es entschlüsselst. Ich biete dir einen Schlüsselbund. In unserem Unterricht gehe ich individuell auf deine Bedürfnisse ein und gebe dir Tipps, wie du dich schrittweise verbessern kannst. Meine Lehrmethode baut auf Beispielen auf, sodass du schnell das Gelernte anwendest. Schreib mir kurz, wo du dich im Spracherwerb befindest und was du erreichen möchtest.
Zu mir:
Ich habe während meiner Schulzeit einen Altsprachenwettbewerb gewonnen, anschließend in Köln, Oxford und in den USA Latein und Altgriechisch studiert und meinen Doktor in den alten Sprachen abgeschlossen. Seit 15+ Jahren unterrichte ich Schüler/innen und Studierende in Latein und Altgriechisch von der weiterführenden Schule bis zum Ende ihres Studiums. Ich habe an Gymnasien nachmittags Nachhilfekurse angeboten und an Universitäten als Dozentin in Latein und Altgriechisch gearbeitet.
Auf dem Gymnasium habe ich mich in die antiken Sprachen verliebt und anschließend die antiken Schriften und Kulturen von Homer bis in die Spätantike erforscht. Mir hat besonders Gefallen, dass die antike Literatur alle Themen abdeckt – Mythen, Philosophie, Dichtung, Kriege, Politik, Geschichte, Naturwissenschaften...
Das Unterrichten hat mir immer Freude bereitet, besonders wenn ich auf die Interessen meiner Schüler/innen eingehen kann.
===============================
Latin becomes easy if you know how to decipher it. I offer you a keychain. In our lessons, I address your needs individually and give you tips on how you can improve step by step. My teaching method is based on examples so that you can quickly apply what you have learned. Write to me briefly about where you are in your language learning and what you want to achieve.
About me:
I won an ancient language competition while I was still in school, then studied Latin and ancient Greek in Cologne, Oxford and the USA and completed my PhD in Classical Studies. For 15+ years I have been teaching Latin and ancient Greek to students from secondary school to the end of their university studies. I have offered ancient language instruction at high schools and universities.
In high school I first fell in love with ancient languages and continued by researching ancient writings and cultures from Homer to late antiquity. I particularly like that ancient literature covers all topics - myths, philosophy, poetry, wars, politics, history, science...
I have always enjoyed teaching, especially when I can respond to the interests of my students!
Kiki
Modern / Ancient Greek Language and Culture CoursesHello everyone! My name is Kiki, I am a linguist and a (Modern/Ancient) Greek language teacher, currently working on my PhD thesis on the intercultural expression of emotions. I am also a translator and a trained tour guide, constantly engaging in the interplay of language and culture!
I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece, and I 've been practicing teaching for over 15 years now, working within a whole variety of different environments and with people coming from a range of cultural backgrounds. One of the reasons I love teaching/translating is the ongoing process of exchanging knowledge of intercultural linguistic patterns that shape our everyday reality. I am constantly encouraging students of all ages to look out for more than grammatical rules and vocabulary, and to dig into the intriguing aspects of everyday communication.
I thus adopt a communicative/conversational method, supplementing instructory books with verbal training and providing material from different cultural sources.
So whether you want to learn Greek from scratch, or you want to improve specific skills (grammar/syntax/vocabulary etc.), or prepare for the Greek certification exam, or even if you are just curious about Modern and Ancient Greek culture, I invite you to start your learning journey with me!

Guillaume
Learn Latin and ancient Greek as living languages, with an agrégé in classical literature, graduated from the ENS de LyonA LIVING METHOD
Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I will help you progress in Latin or ancient Greek, which you will learn as a living language: it will not be primarily a question of translating Latin or Greek, but above all of speaking it, reading it, writing it!
FORGET YOUR DICTIONARY
By doing so, you will memorize vocabulary and grammatical structures much more easily than with the classic method based essentially on translation. You will no longer spend your life in the dictionary, and eventually, you will read your favorite authors like an open book!
LATIN
I essentially offer a living Latin course based on the Orberg method, acclaimed by thousands of Latinists around the world. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I can accompany you on the chapters corresponding to your level of Familia Romana (first volume) or Roma Aeterna (second volume). It is therefore important that you get this book.
If you want to work on Familia Romana, I also highly recommend that you purchase the Vivarium Novum workbook to consolidate your learning: volume I for chapters I to XIX, volume II for chapters XX to XXXIV.
GREEK
For Greek, we will use the Logos method. It will be up to the student to obtain a copy of this manual.
A LA CARTE COURSES
However, I am attentive to pupils and students who are waiting for more conventional methods, particularly in the context of preparing for the baccalaureate, the competitive examinations for the grandes écoles, or even the agrégation. Version, theme, explanation of an old text: all these exercises are well known to me for having practiced them for many years.
It is also possible to build a course based on your desires (excluding erotic texts and magic manuals). Do you want to follow one method rather than another? Discover a particular author? Tell me! Be careful, however, to remain realistic! We do not tackle Xenophon or Titus Livius without a solid level.
Do not hesitate to contact me for any request.
NB: I do not offer translation services, and even less for tattoos. Thank you for your understanding.

Greek language or Ancient Greek/ history and mythologyGreek has significantly influenced many modern languages, particularly English. A vast number of English words have Greek roots, especially in fields such as medicine, science, philosophy, and the arts. Learning Greek can help you understand the etymology of many English words and terms, enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension. For example, words like "psychology," "democracy," and "philosophy" all have Greek origins.
By learning Greek, you gain the ability to read and understand both classical and modern Greek literature. Classical works by authors like Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes are best appreciated in their original form, capturing nuances and meanings that translations might miss. Additionally, modern Greek literature offers rich storytelling and contemporary insights into Greek culture and society.
