General Greek Lessons (Semi-Private)

Did you decide to learn Greek with your spouse or your friend? Do you enjoy learning with someone else? Is this person at the same level as you? Then we have you covered. Our semi-private lessons are ideal for people who have someone who wants to learn Greek with them. In this way, your lessons are more affordable for both of you and at the same time, you learn together not only during the lesson but also in between the lessons when you will have to do your homework.

With our semi-private course, you have the option either to follow the curriculum of our General Greek courses, or to have conversational lessons in which you focus only on speaking, the topics of which will be decided by you and your teacher beforehand. If you decide to follow our General Greek course’s curriculum, then you will be placed in one of our 6 available courses which start from A1 level and go up to C2. After our first meeting, we will place you in one of the 6 levels, according to the level you are at. These courses are designed to cover all of the requirements for the Certificate of Attainment in Modern Greek (Πιστοποίηση Ελληνομάθειας) which you can work towards if you want to.  By the term general Greek, we mean speaking, listening, writing and reading, all of which we will cover in our classes. After successfully completing each course in Modern Greek Lessons, you will be able to do the following as far as reading, listening, speaking and writing are concerned:
