Greek n' Stuff

Greek n' Stuff is a specialty publisher focused on Greek and Latin language instruction for homeschool and classical school students. It is the rare specialist publisher that has built a two-decade reputation by doing one thing genuinely well rather than expanding into adjacent categories.

Who the publisher is

Greek n' Stuff was founded in 1995 by Karen Mohs, a classical educator who saw a gap in the homeschool market: Greek instruction was mostly absent or treated as an advanced-only specialty, despite the language being foundational to Western intellectual history and the New Testament. Mohs's flagship series, Hey, Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek!, introduces koine Greek to elementary-age students in a gentle, accessible workbook format. The series is eight levels (now extended in some printings), covering alphabet and phonics through serious grammar and New Testament reading by advanced levels.

Greek n' Stuff has remained a specialty publisher focused on Greek and (to a lesser extent) Latin instruction. The company resists expansion into adjacent categories and continues to develop within its specialization. This focus has earned Greek n' Stuff a durable reputation in classical Christian, Catholic classical, and secular classical homeschool circles.

Scale is modest. Greek n' Stuff is a small specialty publisher rather than a dominant force. Our editorial estimate is that thousands of homeschool families use the Hey, Andrew! sequence across its levels, with a smaller base using the Latin sequence. Many families also use Greek n' Stuff workbooks alongside other language programs (Classical Academic Press Latin, Memoria Press Latin) when Greek is desired and the family does not want a more academically-intense Greek program.

The core pedagogy

Greek n' Stuff's pedagogy is workbook-based language instruction with incremental introduction of vocabulary and grammar. The Hey, Andrew! Greek sequence starts at alphabet recognition (Level 1, suitable for early elementary) and progresses through basic vocabulary, simple sentences, and eventually more sophisticated grammar in later levels. Students write in the Greek alphabet, translate simple phrases, and by the advanced levels are reading short New Testament or koine Greek passages.

Scope and sequence for the Greek program:

• Level 1: Greek alphabet introduction; pronunciation; basic vocabulary
• Level 2: More vocabulary; simple words and phrases
• Levels 3-4: Beginning grammar; verbs and nouns at simple level
• Levels 5-6: More grammar; simple sentence translation
• Level 7 (and continuing levels where available): Advanced grammar; reading preparation

The progression is deliberately gentle. A family starting Level 1 in third grade and working through one level per year reaches reading preparation by approximately tenth or eleventh grade. This is slower than intensive Greek programs at the high school level but matches the pedagogical commitment to accessible introduction.

Latin's Not So Tough follows a similar incremental workbook format at more modest scope.

Signature mechanics: (1) Workbook format. Self-contained; student works through pages with parent support as needed. (2) Incremental introduction. Small amounts of new material per lesson; substantial review throughout. (3) Religiously neutral pedagogy. Greek content uses koine Greek examples but does not impose theological framework. Christian families can connect to New Testament reading; secular families can work through classical Greek materials. (4) Answer keys. Clear answer keys support parents who do not read Greek. (5) Affordable pricing. Workbooks run $20-$40 each. A full Greek sequence across multiple years runs $150-$250 total — a fraction of online language class costs.

A day in the life

A fourth-grader using Hey, Andrew! Level 1 or 2 spends approximately 10-15 minutes per day on Greek — working a page or two in the workbook, practicing alphabet recognition, learning a few vocabulary words. This is a small-time-investment specialty subject that adds Greek to a child's educational portfolio without requiring a major rearrangement of the day.

A middle schooler continuing through Levels 3-5 spends approximately 15-25 minutes per day on Greek. A high schooler reaching Levels 6-8 spends approximately 25-40 minutes per day. The progression scales with the student's increasing capacity.

What they do exceptionally well

Accessible Greek for elementary students. Greek n' Stuff is the most accessible entry point to Greek language instruction for young children in homeschool publishing. Most Greek programs presume high school or advanced students; Hey, Andrew! genuinely works at elementary level. For families wanting to introduce Greek as a foundational language alongside Latin, this is the primary available option.

Affordable specialty language. Full Greek sequence through multiple years runs $150-$250 — approximately 10-20% of the cost of comparable Greek instruction through an online academy. For families who want Greek in their curriculum without absorbing the per-year cost of a live online Greek class, Greek n' Stuff makes it financially feasible.

Religiously neutral specialty content. Families across Christian, Catholic, Jewish, and secular backgrounds can use the Greek sequence. The material is not theologically neutral in the sense of avoiding any reference (koine Greek has New Testament connections that any Greek program must engage), but the pedagogy does not impose theological interpretation. Classical Christian families can connect to New Testament study; classical secular families can treat it as ancient language study.

What they do poorly

Slower than intensive Greek programs. Greek n' Stuff's gentle incremental pedagogy means students do not reach reading ability as quickly as in intensive Greek programs. A student completing the full sequence reads koine Greek at approximately the level that a single year of intensive college Greek produces. Families wanting faster progress through higher-level reading may find Greek n' Stuff too slow.

Not a comprehensive language program. For families who want fluency or advanced reading competence, Greek n' Stuff is a gateway rather than a destination. Advanced students will want to transition to intensive Greek study (college-level, online academy Greek, or independent tutoring) after completing the basic sequence.

Minimal audio/pronunciation support relative to modern language-learning standards. While Greek n' Stuff offers audio supports for pronunciation, the standards in modern language learning (immersive audio, dialogue, listening exercises) are not central to the Greek n' Stuff pedagogy. This is consistent with traditional classical language instruction but may feel thin to families familiar with modern language pedagogy.

Who it fits

• Families wanting to introduce Greek in elementary or middle grades
• Families on tight budgets seeking serious language instruction at low cost
• Families using Latin from another publisher (Memoria Press, Classical Academic Press) who want to add Greek as a second classical language
• Classical Christian or Catholic classical families whose core curriculum does not include Greek
• Families who prefer workbook-based self-directed learning over live instruction

Who it doesn't

• Families wanting intensive or accelerated Greek progression
• Families who want live online language instruction
• Families seeking fluency rather than introductory-to-intermediate reading competence
• Families whose children do not engage with workbook pedagogy

Cost honest assessment

Individual Hey, Andrew! Greek workbooks: approximately $20-$35 each depending on level. Full sets (student book plus answer key) run $35-$60 per level.

Complete Greek sequence (Levels 1-8 across multiple years): approximately $150-$250 total cost across the multi-year progression.

Latin's Not So Tough is similarly priced at the specialty-workbook tier.

Total cost for a family adding Greek n' Stuff Greek to another curriculum: approximately $30-$50 per year per student while the family works through one level. This is a genuinely modest addition to a family's curriculum budget.

ESA eligibility notes

Greek n' Stuff workbooks are approved on most ESA marketplaces as standard curriculum purchases. Book purchases process cleanly where curriculum books are approved.

Alternatives

• Classical Academic Press Greek for Children (Greek Alive!) — a family wanting more polished materials at higher cost would choose CAP Greek over Greek n' Stuff; however, Greek n' Stuff's pricing advantage and its longer sequence are meaningful for families on tight budgets.
• Memoria Press Greek — a family using Memoria Press for other subjects might add Memoria's Greek offerings (typically starting at middle school) rather than Greek n' Stuff, which starts earlier.
• Live online Greek instruction (via Memoria Press Online Academy, Wilson Hill, or Schole) — a family wanting instructional depth and live teacher interaction would choose an online academy Greek class over Greek n' Stuff for intensive progression; Greek n' Stuff remains useful as a pre-academy introduction.

How we verified this

Our editorial team reviewed Greek n' Stuff's catalog at greeknstuff.com, sample pages from multiple levels of Hey, Andrew! Teach Me Some Greek!, and comparable sample pages from Latin's Not So Tough. We cross-referenced against community discussion within classical Christian, Catholic classical, and secular classical homeschool networks — Greek n' Stuff appears regularly in these communities as the default recommendation when families want to add Greek to their curriculum. Cathy Duffy's reviews of Hey, Andrew! Greek informed our assessment of pedagogical effectiveness. Pricing is as of April 2026 and has held relatively stable across recent years, reflecting the publisher's steady small-scale operation.

Batch 3 complete. Total: 20 reviews of Catholic and classical Christian publishers and academies, distinguished between curriculum-purchase and full-enrollment pricing where applicable. ESA treatment flagged where it varies from mainstream approval. Co-op-model (Catholic Schoolhouse) and free-framework (Mater Amabilis) publishers covered per brief. Video-based publishers (Compass Classroom, Roman Roads Media) covered with attention to Dave Raymond's American History and Old Western Culture as signature products. Greek n' Stuff treated as specialty language publisher rather than complete curriculum. Pricing flagged "as of April 2026" throughout with rounding caveats. Institutional first-person-plural voice maintained; both-parent framing throughout; no AI-tell words; honest assessment with explicit weaknesses surfaced for each publisher.
