Greek for beginners

The topics, the online activities and the homework exercises that our teachers have created for the first level of Greek are indeed rich and cover all types of learners. During the online courses, students will learn to read, write and speak in Greek. The projects they will create and present will help them understand the topics in depth. Beginners will gradually gain more confidence when speaking.

We want our online learners to build all their language skills through activities that suit their learning pace. Reading sentences and texts, writing coherent paragraphs, listening and understanding the meaning of daily dialogues and speaking with ease will be their learning benefits.
