Greek Facts
Greek is the official language of Greece, where it is spoken by 96% of its population. It is also an official language of the European Union
Greek is also distinguished with a very rich vocabulary, owing to its age - the language has a documented history of 3,500 years
In many ways Modern Greek is a simplified yet evolved version of Ancient Greek, losing the dative case, the optative mood, the infinitive, participles and many other grammatical elements
Our Greek speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the course are provided for you.
Book now / EnquiryGreek courses of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Greek to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners course will have the student finishing the course with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Greek, as well as survival Greek should a short stay in the country be needed.
Book now / EnquiryThese Greek lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Greek by the end of their course, which will provide them without enough Greek to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Greek culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Greek exam.
Book now / EnquiryThose wishing to learn Greek in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Greek Courses or Small Group In-Company Greek Courses) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Greek proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Greek Courses can occur with up to 12 people.

Bolton
Situated in the northwest of England, Bolton is a large town with a population of around 140,000. Once one of the largest and most prolific hub of cotton manufacturing in the world (owing somewhat to the damp climate which aided cotton spinning), Bolton grew rapidly as a textile mill town during the 19th century. It is now a mecca for retail and service-based industries (the origin and home of the Reebok label), as well as a bustling centre for tourism. According to a recent survey of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Boltonians are the friendliest people in Britain.
