Modern Greek Language Programs

Program Description

Learn modern Greek with the Athens Centre. This course is open to students from all levels, beginners to advanced. The curriculum was created by instructors who developed textbooks teaching Greek to people of all nationalities. There are 4 to 8 students in each class since small classes help students learn more effectively.

All of the teachers are specialists in the language who can teach Greek to students of all levels. Our curriculum is based around reading and writing comprehension as well as spoken Greek. All of the teachers are native Greek speakers who also speak other languages like English. You will be able to experience the culture and history of Greece. Many of our teachers have written supplementary books used in our courses and two of our teacher wrote and published Greek language textbooks.

We utilize Greek literature and folk songs to ensure students experience the rich local Greek culture.
