JACT Vocab vs Learn Linear B

Learning Ancient Greek? If you're using the Cambridge University Press textbook "Reading Greek," by the Joint Association of Classical Teachers (JACT), JACT Vocab is here to help. It's a set of nearly 1300 virtual flashcards, representing the entire vocabulary to be memorized as you go through the textbook. The flashcards are presented in the same order as the vocabulary in the textbook. Or, look up any word in alphabetical order. The English translation of each Greek word can be hidden or shown at will, great for self-testing. Pick a section or sections to drill in random order. This vocabulary is keyed to the second edition of "Reading Greek."

Mycenaean Greeks. The Linear B script appeared on Crete around 1450 BC. Apparently, the Mycenaean Greeks borrowed the characters of the Minoans’ Linear A writing system and adapted these characters into a new system for writing down their language, which is the earliest known form of the Greek language. This app contains quiz-style drills that allow you to learn the individual Linear B characters and then move on to sounding out and translating Linear B words.
