Greek Facts
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
Greek is spoken by approximately 17 million people, mainly in Greece and Cyprus
The Greek language has been using the Greek alphabet since the 9th century BC
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.
