Greek Language Course in Athens – 1 week

An intensive Greek language course in Athens is ideal to improve your knowledge of the Greek language and practice to speak Greek, while discovering this fascinating  capital of Greece at the same time. After completing an intensive program, you will feel much more self-confident when using the Greek language and will be motivated to start communicating in Greek. The morning classes focus on vocabulary, grammar and speaking exercises, while the afternoon activities are the perfect opportunity to put the theory into practice. Moreover, you get to see Athens from a local point of view.

How the course starts?

Students for the morning classes (depending on the level) are welcomed in the
Maroussi school (North Athens) on the indicated arrival date at 10.00.
Students for the afternoon classes (depending on the level) are welcomed at the school at 13.00.
You will be asked to take a brief placement test after your registration,
or on the first school-day, so that we can determine the level that is best for you.

At 13.15 on the first day , you are invited to enjoy a tavern lunch in Maroussi (included in the course price).
This way you will get to know the other participants and teachers and learn some more daily Greek vocabulary!
During the lunch we will also inform you about the afternoon activities and cultural program during the next days.

The course materials will be given to you by Omilo and are included in the price.
The Omilo teachers are qualified and very experienced,
and the small size of the groups (max. 5) enables them to consider the individual wishes and needs of the participants.

Omilo knows that having fun is an essential part of learning. It’s when you are happy and relaxed that you are most able to begin using what you have learned in class in a natural way. Therefore Omilo organizes, in addition to the intensive Greek classes in the morning, various social and cultural activities during the afternoons.
