Ath\u00e8naze<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div>

Omnis lingua usu potius discitur quam praeceptis,
\nid est audiendo, legendo, relegendo,
\nimitationem manu et lingua temptando quam creberrime.<\/em>
\nComenius, Ianua linguarum reserata<\/em>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>

Our studies and our experience led us to recognize\u00a0Ath\u00e8naze<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>(Italian edition<\/a>), by M. Balme, G. Lawall, L. Miraglia and T. F. B\u00f3rri, as the most effective Greek course.
\nThis course follows the so-called nature method. Grammar is carefully taught, and learned inductively, i.e. from context (which is the natural process of learning). Much attention is also paid to vocabulary learning, by the inductive method: the words to be learned are chosen on the grounds of their frequency in the usage of classical writers.
\nThe Greek language is constantly practiced, and a continuous narration, entirely in Greek, takes readers to ancient Athens, thereby also supplying them with many notions about Greek civilization and culture.<\/p>\n
