It's all Greek to me: Learning Ancient Greek in a modern way

Having the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, the Greek language holds a very important place in the history of the Western World.

As a native speaker of Greek and holding a BA in History and Archaeology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as well as an MA and a PhD in Classical Archaeology from the same University, I am ready to help you learn Greek effectively and pleasantly.

Either being a beginner or an advanced student, you can get acquainted with the Greek Language and Culture or penetrate its mysteries through intensive or specialized courses.

Having a ---more than 20 years--- experience in Teaching Greek for children and adults, I would be glad to share my passion for the Greek language, Ancient and Modern alike, through courses built upon each student's level, motivation and learning needs.

This course is addressed to those who:
---Wish to gain a basic knowledge in Ancient Greek.
---Wish to prepare especially for their exams in Ancient Greek (university entrance exams for senior high school students or university students of all levels).
---Wish to learn Ancient Greek in depth and gradually gain access to literature, culture, and ancient history.

Hello everyone! My name is Kiki, I am a linguist and a (Modern/Ancient) Greek language teacher, currently working on my PhD thesis on the intercultural expression of emotions. I am also a translator and a trained tour guide, constantly engaging in the interplay of language and culture! I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece, and I 've been practicing teaching for over 15 years now, working within a whole variety of different environments and with people coming from a range of cultural backgrounds.

I thus adopt a communicative/conversational method, supplementing instructory books with verbal training and providing material from different cultural sources.

Online Greek Lessons tutoring for children, teenagers and adults
I am Effie. I am a Greek primary school teacher and I have been giving Greek lessons in public schools that are located in Athens for 9 years. I am a certified primary school teacher from University of Thessaly. My first Master's Degree was in Special Education and my second one in teaching Greek as a second language for refugees and migrants. I have 8 years experience in teaching Greek in Special Education and 2 years experience in teaching Greek for refugees and migrants. I have seen that is really important to adjust the learning goals on students' interests as the lesson to become more funny for them and give them opportunities to use their creativity playing roles in the class or creating a story. Digital tools also make the learning process more interactive. Often I start the lesson bringing in the class items that have to tell us a story and students take the item as a hero and they create a scenario that becomes a part of a bigger project that is linked to other subjects students have been taught at the same period. What I love about teaching Greek as a second language to people who live out of Greece is that it enables them to learn about the Greek civilization, customs and ethics that people in Greece maintain, even their crazy Mediterranean spirit they keep on a funny way creating a sense of familiarity with the place even if they have not visit Greece yet, or it could be a good opportunity for?
