Abstract

In this paper, we intend to offer, firstly, a brief conceptual framework derived from second language acquisition theories applied to the learning of modern languages or L2, with a focus on vocabulary acquisition. Secondly, within the context of Ancient Greek, a practical proposal for updating one of the most popular manuals in Spain, taking into account the principles outlined and considering the learning and acquisition of Ancient Greek at the same level as a modern language.
