It's all Greek to me: Learning Modern Greek from Scratch

Having the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, the Greek language holds a very important place in the history of the Western World.

As a native speaker of Greek and holding a BA in History and Archaeology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, as well as an MA and a PhD in Classical Archaeology from the same University, I am ready to help you learn Greek effectively.

Either being a beginner or an advanced student, you can get acquainted with the Greek Language and Culture or penetrate its mysteries through intensive or specialized courses.

Having a ---more than 20 years--- experience in Teaching Greek for children and adults, I would be glad to share my passion for the Greek language, Ancient and Modern alike, through courses built upon each student's level, motivation and learning needs.

This course is addressed to those who:
---Wish to gain a basic knowledge in Modern Greek, for everyday use or tourism.
---Wish to prepare especially for their exams in the Greek Language-Ellinomatheia levels (from A1 to C2).
---Wish to learn Greek in depth and gradually gain access to literature, culture, and ancient history.

I have 13 year of experience in helping children and adults to learn Greek language through specialized courses and to get acquainted with the Greek Culture (Literature, Mythology, Conversational Greek, Walking Greek Lessons, Greek Poems and other interesting ways for practice, such as museum visits). I prepare people for exams in the Greek Language-Ellinomatheia levels from A1-C2 and help them to obtain the Certificates from A1-C2 level by the Greek Ministry of Education. When the sun shines, or even when it's rainy (Thessaloniki i BEAUTIFUL in rainy days) a visit at the city's museums or cultural sites such as White Tower, Rotonda, Galerius Arch, or the University Town are ideal places to learn the essence of Greek languange, etymology,and History.

Kiki
Modern / Ancient Greek Language and Culture Courses
Hello everyone! My name is Kiki, I am a linguist and a (Modern/Ancient) Greek language teacher, currently working on my PhD thesis on the intercultural expression of emotions. I am also a translator and a trained tour guide, constantly engaging in the interplay of language and culture! I live and work in Thessaloniki, Greece, and I 've been practicing teaching for over 15 years now, working within a whole variety of different environments and with people coming from a range of cultural backgrounds. One of the reasons I love teaching/translating is the ongoing process of exchanging knowledge of intercultural linguistic patterns that shape our everyday reality. I am constantly encouraging students of all ages to look out for more than grammatical rules and vocabulary, and to dig into the intriguing aspects of everyday communication. I thus adopt a communicative/conversational method, supplementing instructory books with verbal training and providing material from different cultural sources. So whether you want to learn Greek from scratch, or you want to improve specific skills (grammar/syntax/vocabulary etc.), or prepare for the Greek certification exam, or even if you are just curious about Modern and Ancient Greek culture, I invite you to start your learning journey with me!
