Learn Greek Online With Skype & Zoom lessons

Useful information

Free Trial Lesson

As an online lesson with Skype or Zoom might be something you have not tried before, we offer a free trial lesson of 30 minutes. During this time, you can get to know your teacher, define your language level and talk about your goals with regard to learning Greek. After this free lesson, you can decide if you would like to start online lessons and discuss possible teaching dates and times.

How do Skype or Zoom lessons work?

Skype is software that enables conversations all over the world. Individuals and businesses use Skype on their PCs and devices to make free video and voice calls. Skype is free to download and easy to use. You can get Skype from the official Skype website.
Zoom is equivalent software for online lessons and meetings. You do not need to download it, but you will get an invitation link from you teacher by email.

Whether you would like to take a trial lesson first or you have already made an agreement with Omilo during one of your previous courses in Greece, these are the steps to follow:

1. After receiving your email or registration form, we will arrange a free 30-minute Skype lesson with your teacher. The free trial lesson is very casual. You don’t need to prepare for anything. The purpose is for the teacher and student to get to knowyour language level and  a little more about each other. It is a very relaxed online session. You will discuss:
   – your learning needs and goals
   – course content and materials
   – available teaching times
   – any questions you may have

   How to join the free trial lesson?
   
   By email we will arrange the time and date of the free trial online lesson. In case of Skype, we will ask for your Skype user ID and will add your Skype ID to our Skype contact list. On the scheduled day and time, your teacher will call you on Skype and you will be added to the Skype conversation. Make sure that your microphone and video are connected. Please login in to your Skype account 10 minutes before your lessons and stay online until your teacher contacts you.
   Enjoy your lesson!
