Course objectives
The course offers a systematic overview of the basic phenomena of Modern Greek phonology, morphology and syntax. A part of the course is the practice of grammatical phenomenons. The main goal of the seminar is to deepen the students' knowledge of grammar that they learned about during their bachelor studies and also to enable them to discuss and write about the topics dealt with in the seminar. Another aim of the course is to enable students to understand more difficult Modern Greek texts and to translate texts from Modern Greek into Czech and simple texts from Czech into Modern Greek.
