Conversational Greek

Pricing

 

After reaching a certain level in Greek, when at least fundamental Grammar and basic Vocabulary is known, practice through speaking and putting all knowledge gained together is the best way to polish and improve one’s skills.

These courses are held once a week and are addressed to those who want to take a break from regular classes and make sure they can command modern Greek at their level before they move to the next one.

Students are free to choose their own classmates, friends from other groups perhaps and establish a warm class where they will feel free and comfortable to speak and set up conversations on any subject they wish.

The teacher now becomes a guide and coordinator boosting up student’s confidence in speaking, imagination, creativity and flexibility in expressing oneself in modern Greek.

The cost of these courses depends on the number of participants in order to make it more approachable to the majority of foreign students and particularly the foreign residents of Crete.

2 people	1 hour	15 €

Regular Greek Courses

Regular Courses

 

Regular courses in Greek Language are mainly designed for foreign students who permanently live on Crete or spend here long periods of time and they want to learn Greek. Lessons are held twice a week so that students and particularly adult ones can have free time between lessons.

Speed of teaching varies from group to group depending on the class while the length of these courses is open-ended. However, the suggested duration of attendance can be no less than two months if students really want to see progress.

Before registering each student is interviewed and placed into a group of his level (Beginners, Elementary, Intermediate, Advanced and Proficiency). During the lessons students are always welcome to discuss their progress or weaknesses with their teacher and all together decide on the specific language points they want to focus on.

Whatever the level of the course, emphasis is always given on both linguistic features (grammar, vocabulary, syntax etc) and practical use of the language. Students are always encouraged to speak and build confidence at least in every day conversations.

Intensive Courses in Greek Language

Pricing

 

These Greek language courses are held daily for a short period of time (1-4 weeks). They are fast-paced and are addressed to students who want immediate improvement to all their language skills and see learning Greek as great fun!

Due to their compact design, these courses also provide useful information about the Greek History and Culture so that students who attend lessons for only 1 or 2 weeks can also have an overall view of the cultural elements included in the Greek language. Lessons are held for 3 hours a day with only short breaks in between. We value that students need after-school time, so by reducing the time of intervals, we actually increase time in class.

Special Greek Courses

Special Courses

 

Learning Greek is not only about learning the language. Important subjects of the Greek Culture and History as well as specialized terminology on Medicine, Science and Law are taught as part of the Language at our school.

These courses can be held both in Greek and in English in case the language level of the participants is not yet adequate to support the undistracted flow of the course.

As we have seen so far, students usually take up such course after they have completed the Intermediate level and it is time for them to enhance their skills by adding knowledge from other surrounding fields of the Greek Language.

A series of these courses consists of seven sessions, which can either be held daily or weekly according to participants’ preferences. For those who view learning a language as part of a whole civilization the following courses might cover their interests.
