Description
“BBG has become the most used English-Greek textbook around the world. When it was first released, it introduced many innovations that are now common place in Greek classrooms. Over 250,000 students have used BBG to move past their English Bibles and into the Greek of the New Testament. It makes learning fun (almost fun for some), reduces memory work to a minimum, and is constantly reminding students why they are learning New Testament Greek.” – billmounce.com

First Form Greek Set
Publisher/Author
Memoria Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“Based on the revolutionary First Form Latin series, First Form Greek is written for parents and teachers with or without a Greek background. Its goal is to present the grammar so logically and so systematically that anyone can learn it. At the same time, we have adapted the Latin First Form Series to account for the differences between Greek and Latin, such as the new alphabet, overlapping sounds, more variation within paradigms, and less regularity. First Form Greek overcomes these challenges with the addition of weekly vocabulary reviews, more frequent recitation, and an “expanded” dictionary entry for Greek verbs. First Form Greek teaches ancient Greek. Its general vocabulary and grammar will prepare the student for further study focused on the Greek New Testament and Septuagint or Classical Greek authors like Xenophon and Plato.” – Memoria Press

French for Children
Publisher/Author
Classical Academic Press
Other Information
Level: 4-7
Description
“French is a widely spoken language. You’ll hear it spoken in France, of course, but also in Switzerland, Belgium, Monaco, and Canada, as well as many African countries, such as Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Tunisia, and Morocco. In fact, French is the native language of, or regularly used in, more than 35 countries around the world!
This classical, beautiful, and widely spoken language will be a treasure for children to learn. There is a distinction, however, between just learning common words and phrases, which is the approach of many French programs, and knowing the language well enough to communicate fluently and accurately. French for Children Primer A (Student Edition) teaches elementary students in grades 4 and up this dynamic language, both classically and creatively, at a time when students soak up language like a sponge. This book employs the pedagogy and structure of our popular Latin for Children series combined with immersion-style dialogues and vocabulary so that the French language will be taught well and thoroughly. The French for Children series emphasizes grammar and the parts of speech as vital tools for correctly speaking and understanding French. The engaging and conversational text also uses lively chants to aid memorization of both grammar and vocabulary.” – Classical Academic Press

Description
“Understandable, engaging, creative, and in-depth, the Greek for Children Primer A Program will introduce your students to Koine Greek. Why Greek? Like Latin, Koine Greek will aid students in critical thinking and help them to develop a strong understanding of grammar. Many English words are derived from ancient Greek, and students will especially see the benefits of learning Greek when studying science and medicine. Last, but hardly least, Koine Greek is the language of the New Testament, and the study of the original language will gradually unveil the richness, depth, and beauty of the New Testament message.” – Classical Academic Press
