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
Modern Greek uses the Greek alphabet, with 24 letters
Greek is distinctive, along with German, for its ability to create compound words, able to express something another language would need an entire sentence for in one Greek word
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.

Bristol
With a population of 400,000 people, Bristol is not only a city, but also a unitary authority and ceremonial county in southwest England. For 5 centuries it was the second or third largest city in England, until the Industrial Revolution sparked many other cities to grow exponentially. Bristol remains one of the centres of culture, education and employment in the region. Traditionally gaining economic success via its nautical connections, Bristol has extended its industries to aerospace (playing host to the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, a major annual hot-air ballooning event) as well as finance, IT and tourism. Being in the south of the UK, Bristol is one of the warmest cities in the UK.
