Book excerpt: In the first offering of this beloved duo, the Humez brothers take on the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet (plus those elusive "dead letters"), and through the device of the abecedarium bring the Greek culture and thought to life. From acoustics to zygote, they provide not only an engaging romp through the Greek language but also a series of glimpses into the world and man's place in it. The historical, philosophical, mathematical, cosmological, and political (all Greek words) approaches we take toward life, its description, elucidation, and evaluation, are all mainly derived from several thousand years of Greek culture. The vocabulary of language is a mirror of the minds of its speakers, and in this book we see the first reflections of the modern world.

Book excerpt: What do the letters of the ancient Greek alphabet mean? Conventionally, the answer is that they are simply sounds without meaning. But the thing is, the ancient Greeks saw meaning in everything. They equated the natural world with the divine. They studied the world to understand divinity. In doing so, the ancient Greeks created the foundation of modern math, science, democracy, medicine, art, architecture, and language. In a culture that saw meaning in everything, is it likely that their written record consisted of sounds without meaning? Not very. Greek letters have meaning. Greek Alphabet: Unlock the Secrets explains why Greek letters are shaped the way they are, what they mean, and how these letters are used to form meaningful words. Spoiler alert: Omega is most definitely not the last letter of the Greek alphabet.

Book excerpt: This book is aimed at 5-7 years old children who learn Greek as a second language and whose both or one parent is a Greek speaker. Through my experience and in-depth observation on this group of students at Greek schools in Greece and in San Francisco, I identified and documented the unique educational needs of this specific group of students. Based on this observation arose the need for a teaching tool - handbook for children who learn the Greek language as a second or a foreign language. The main concern and goal for this book was it to be enjoyable for every student and easy-to-use, while at the same time ensuring that the student works effectively, independently, confidently and structured, regarding the learning objectives set.

Through this book, the student will: be introduced to the Greek Alphabet. recognize the Sound - Letter correspondences [relationships between sounds (or phonemes) and the letters (or graphemes)]. learn the shape and morphology of each letter as well as how it is written. learn basic vocabulary associated with each letter. practice visual and auditory recognition of the letters. write correctly every letter of the Greek Alphabet. spell and by finishing the book also read small words. enrich the vocabulary and broaden his/her imagination, with the stories at the end of every letter - unit. The main focus of this handbook is the Greek Alphabet, presented in various forms of activities that promote the experiential learning method and language development. Among other activities in the book, students are asked to phonetically identify the letters of the Alphabet and match them to visual images as well as to the respective letter. This way students practice and build vocabulary and spelling skills. Additionally, by using the included interactive software, students are given the opportunity to interact independently and actively with the alphabet. In addition, students can color in pictures at the book related to each letter of the alphabet.
