Modern Greek Language for beginners/intermediates by Native Greek Speaker

(EN) Thinking of moving to Greece or just fascinated by the Greek language? Then this course is for you! In these classes you will be introduced to the fundamentals of Modern Greek through developing written, oral, reading and listening skills. Learn how to converse in every day situations, write an email, or listen to the news and cultivate your appreciation of Greek culture.

My teaching philosophy centres around the premise that learning should be fun. Through encouraging a creative, interactive and engaging environment, students are motivated to explore their own individual relationships with their target language, allowing them to become confident speakers.

Let's meet and discuss your linguistic goals and aspirations. It would be my honour to help you achieve them!


(GR) Σκέφτεστε να μετακομίσετε στην Ελλάδα ή απλώς γοητεύεστε από την ελληνική γλώσσα; Τότε αυτό το μάθημα είναι για εσάς! Σε αυτά τα μαθήματα θα μυηθείτε στις βασικές αρχές της Νέας Ελληνικής με την ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων γραπτού, προφορικού, ανάγνωσης και ακρόασης. Μάθετε πώς να συνομιλείτε σε καθημερινές καταστάσεις, να γράφετε ένα email ή να ακούτε τις ειδήσεις και να καλλιεργήσετε την εκτίμησή σας για τον ελληνικό πολιτισμό.

Η διδακτική μου φιλοσοφία επικεντρώνεται στην αρχή ότι η μάθηση οφείλει να είναι διασκεδαστική. Μέσω της ενθάρρυνσης ενός δημιουργικού, διαδραστικού και ελκυστικού περιβάλλοντος, οι μαθητές παρακινούνται να εξερευνήσουν τις ατομικές τους σχέσεις με τη γλώσσα-στόχο τους, επιτρέποντάς τους να γίνουν ομιλητές με αυτοπεποίθηση.

Ανυπομονώ να σας γνωρίσω και να συζητήσουμε τους γλωσσικούς σας στόχους και φιλοδοξίες. Θα ήταν τιμή μου να σας βοηθήσω να τα πετύχετε!

Justyna
Learn (modern) Greek for everyday use, university, tourism with FUN and passion / (ancient) Greek for school and university
I am a native speaker of Greek. I graduated from a Greek high school and, later, the University of Athens where I attended courses in pedagogics, psychology, and linguistics. During our lessons, I'll help you develop your skills (oral/written, and not only). I'll also try to help you improve your pronunciation and spelling. I assign homework and after I receive it, correct it thoroughly additionally providing a lot of remarks/examples if they are necessary. I worked at a language center between 2009-2016 where I was a director of studies and taught mainly English as a foreign/second language. Since 2005, when I first started teaching Greek, I have taught children and adults on a variety of language proficiency levels, mainly individually. I constantly seek progress, meaning that I study further through reading books/articles concerning didactics/methodology and learning difficulties (chiefly dyslexia), observing other teachers as well as attending seminars (online or face-to-face). During my lessons I use : - Skype/Whatsapp/Messenger to connect with you, - Google Docs to keep notes, which you can check at any time and they are yours to keep, - sketch board me to make mind maps to show connections between ideas, etc. - books, PPP, word docs, diagrams, pics, etc. - pronunciation/spelling/grammar games, - authentic materials were taken from websites. I adore my profession and desire each and every one of my students be satisfied with the lesson. That's why I make sure the atmosphere is stress-free and nice. I also want my lessons to be as effective and close to real-life needs as possible. Therefore, I make sure they are well-prepared, although they can be altered at any point, should such an opportunity arise. I like explaining things in a variety of ways as well as make use of dictionaries, diagrams, etc. When it comes to students who want to obtain certificates, I am very demanding. What can I teach? - I would love to help you improve/develop all language skills (speaking/writing-listening/reading + grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation), - I would love to help you prepare for state certificates such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. - I would love to help you with homework and assignments (literature, history) from school and university (but please contact me about that IN ADVANCE). Regarding Ancient Greek, I can help you with commentaries/translations/grammar/syntax: - Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, - Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles, Sappho, - Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon.
