About Me

Yia sas! Hello everyone! I'm Anna, originally from Corfu, Greece. I’ve been calling England home for over 20 years now, and this has given me a deep understanding of the language, culture, and the unique atmosphere of the country. As a native Greek speaker with a passion for languages and teaching, I bring both experience and enthusiasm to our lessons. Having grown up surrounded by Greek culture and being fluent in both Greek and English, I can easily help bridge the two languages.

Although Greek may seem challenging due to its different alphabet, complex grammar, and pronunciation, it is certainly achievable with dedication and consistent practice. A common question among students is how long it will take to speak and hold a conversation, and how many lessons are needed to reach that point.
There’s no "one-size-fits-all" answer to this, as learning Greek varies by individual. Some learners may reach basic conversational skills within a few months of focused study, while others might need a year or more to get to the same level. Progress depends on factors like your learning style, previous language experience, and how much time you can dedicate to study.
Many students choose to take 2-3 lessons per week if their schedule allows, which helps maintain steady progress while balancing other commitments. Others may start with just one lesson per week and gradually increase as they gain confidence in the language. These are general guidelines, as results will vary based on personal circumstances.
Remember, learning a language is a gradual process that can include ups and downs, so it’s important to stay patient, be kind to yourself, set realistic goals, and practice consistently to keep progressing.
In my spare time, I enjoy taking walks by the river, reading a good book, watching films, cooking, and continuing to educate myself. I’m also still taking lessons in French and Italian to further my language skills.

What to Expect from a Lesson with Me:
Many people agree that the best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in a country where it’s spoken. Since this isn’t always possible, the next best way is through interactive and engaging conversations. I believe in creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable to practice and make mistakes. My lessons offer a relaxed, and supportive environment where mistakes are celebrated as part of the learning process. Learning should be enjoyable and motivating, so expect books, level-appropriate short stories, lively discussions, and plenty of laughter!
In our first session, I will assess your language level through casual conversation and work with you to create a personalized, goal-oriented approach that aligns with your objectives in Greek.
For Complete Beginners:
If you are starting from scratch, our initial lessons will focus on the basics:
• Learning to read and understand the sounds of the Greek alphabet
• Combining syllables to form words
• Using articles
• Engaging in simple greetings and conversations, gradually progressing to more complex interactions
Greek for Holidays:
If you're planning a trip to Greece, we’ll tailor lessons to prepare you for real-life situations. You'll learn how to:
• Introduce yourself in Greek
• Order your favorite food or drink
• Ask for directions, and more!
Conversational Greek:
We will focus on topics that interest you, having discussions about your favorite subjects to improve your fluency.
Greek for Advanced Speakers & Exam Preparation:
If you’re preparing for the Greek language certification exams, expect structured and intensive lessons. We will cover grammar, listening, and speaking practice. You’ll also become familiar with colloquial expressions, idioms, Greek mythology, literature, music, and more.

Learning a new language opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities. All it takes is patience and the desire to learn. So why wait? Bring onboard your enthusiasm, and let’s get started! I’d love to meet you and see if we hit it off. Looking forward to seeing you soon in my class!"

Ancient Greek is one of the oldest languages in the world. A multitude of literary and philosophical texts have been written in this language. Later, Latin will take up many elements of the heritage of ancient Greek. Today, about 10% of the words in the French language have an ancient Greek origin. Our educational exchange aims to understand ancient Greek culture and Western European culture in general. Although it is a dead language, ancient Greek can instill values in us, broaden our horizons and even help us understand French better. At first we will study the alphabet and the general rules of word formation. With the help of mythology and texts (philosophical, literary and others), you will be able to understand basic words, phrases and expressions and get to know the world of ancient Greece. Finally, in Modern Greek, you can prepare for all levels, from A1 to C2.

Modern Greek language is extremely beautiful but uneasy to learn - I learned it from scratch and to the C2 level of command. I also lived in Greece for eight years; so whatever your learning goals are, I will do my best to cater to your needs and craft a custom learning program to follow.

This course is designed to prepare students for reading the Greek of the New Testament, along with other texts written in Koine Greek, e.g. the Septuagint, Josephus, Epictetus, etc. Students will learn grammar, syntax, and vocabulary up to the point of being able to read and analyze Greek texts with the help of a lexicon.

A practical approach to Greek voice and speech: breath, articulation, rhythm, clarity, and expression.

We will work on pronunciation, tone, and the structure of spoken Greek, combining elements of orthophony, rhetoric, and conscious use of language.

With training in voice work since 2002 and experience as a voice-over artist since 2009, I have designed this course for Greek-speaking professionals who rely on their voice -public speakers, presenters, radio producers, teachers, lawyers, tour guides, actors- and for anyone who wants to speak Greek with confidence, precision, and natural flow.
