This master’s thesis uses the historical overview of Slovene textbooks for the Greek language to describe three didactic principles that demonstrate the outline for a Greek textbook and appendices related to Greek themes for teaching Latin at the beginner level. The didactic principles are a clear and systematic explanation of topics, numerous exercises and exploring of possibilities of inter-subject connections, especially with an emphasis on the connectedness of Greek and Latin. This is followed by devising appendices related to Greek culture for students that are learning only Latin. Narrow didactic courses that determine the scheme are planned and systematically relate to Greek topics in Latin lessons. They insert the language in a broader context, use comparative methods and consciously avoid the stereotype of Romans mirroring the Greek culture. There are three appendices designed as an example of the Greek alphabet, scientific terminology, and classical mythology. The third part of the master’s thesis explores the guidelines that determine the scheme for the textbook of the Greek language for students in the first semester. Two courses are presented-gradual intensity and exploration (on your own). The four designed chapters cover culturally-civilisational as well as grammatical topics. The first chapter introduces the Greek alphabet, and the second combines the first declination with Greek family relationships. The following chapter covers the second declination and the Greek upbringing, and the final chapter links the third declination with sports.
