Learn GREEK as a foreign language in 1-to-1 lessons

From 24 € /h

Learn Modern Greek as a second or a foreign language.
I am a Greek native licensed language teacher based in Athens, Greece, and I offer private online lessons in modern Greek.

I teach modern Greek to beginners that speak English or German.
I also teach directly in Greek to intermediate or advanced students, as well as beginners that live in Greece.
I focus on making the lesson as communicative as possible.
The lessons are tailored to the learner's level, goals, needs & preferences, while placing particular emphasis on developing communication skills.
The basic skills of language learning (reading, listening, writing & speaking) are equally emphasized.

Modern Greek is a difficult language to learn, nevertheless it will surely enrich your world. It takes years of dedication to master it. Learning Greek in Greece is very helpful, as it is a difficult language to learn and in Greece you can practice it directly in your daily activities.

With Greek knowledge you will be able to travel all over Greece and Cyprus while communicating with the people you meet in their mother tongue. Learning modern Greek gives you understanding in ancient Greek as well, and a lot of international words that have an ancient Greek root.

A total beginner typically needs 3-4 years of 2-hour weekly lessons to be able to communicate on an intermediate level of B1.
Trips to Greece and contact with people that speak the language help greatly to gain a quicker pace of learning.

I typically suggest a graded textbook (for communicative or business purposes), but also provide the learner with handouts, in order to offer an authentic language experience. I provide and suggest extra educational material for self-study.
I prepare students for a Greek language certificate (all levels) or for the Greek citizenship test that is required for the residence permit.

This class is for foreigners living in Athens, Greece, that want to learn the basics (and more) of the Greek language for various reasons like business, curiosity to explore the greek language, communicating better with loved ones etc.. You will learn how to understand, listen, read and speak this complicated yet interesting and historic language. I focus a lot on the greek pronunciation and grammar, since those are the sections most foreigners struggle with.
Along with the language, you will also learn many ancient greek words, because the modern greek language derives from the ancient greek and the grammar is closely related to it. Last but not least, you will be teached some things about the greek culture and history and if asked, you could learn about greek urban dictionary.
I started gaining experience by volunteeringly teaching it to my foreign friends and to refugees since I was 16 years old. Moreover, the fact that I took many language classes growing up ( french, japanese, spanish, english), and still do, helped me learn new patterns from my teachers and apply them in my classes.
