An immersive approach to Ancient Greek using exclusively the target language could be a incredible way to get a feel for the language. While it may seem difficult at first, instructors provide set phrases that the student can use and understand. The progression to immersion typically would need to be progressive: beginning with a good amount of the source language (for example, English). The teacher would then give the student the vocabulary for the parts of speech (noun, verb, etc.) and use the correct declension within an English context. For example, after the teacher has introduced the basic vocabulary, the student can be prompted with, "read τοῦτο τὸ ὄνομα [this noun]," or "pronounce τοῦτο τὸ ῥῆμα [this verb]." Depending on experience of the student, the teacher might be able to use Greek exclusively from the outset. Lesson by lesson, the teacher introduces more vocabulary and usage, and corrects the student's syntax or grammar by repeating the phrase used by the student but with the corrections emphasized.

One approach to increase language acquisition in Ancient Greek together would be to read out loud and discuss the text in Ancient Greek.
