Teaching Greek at Omilo, Back In 1997<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Introduction
\n<\/strong>
\nOmilo was founded in 1996 by Maya and Dimitris Andreadis, and the very first Omilo Greek Language and Culture Course took place in the village of Nea Makri, Attiki, in July 1997.
\nSophia was the first teacher at Omilo, and was teaching several courses during 1997 and 1998.
\nAlthough in those times you could count the Greek language schools on one hand, and it was not so obvious to find teachers used to teach Greek to non-Greeks,
\nSophia was very experienced in teaching Greek to foreigners since she had been already teaching Greek to Americans for many years while living in the USA.
\nUpon her return to Greece from the USA, she was happy to continue teaching Greek to foreigners, together with Omilo.<\/p>\n

Listen to the dialogue between Dimitris and Sophia, while sharing some nice memories of the very first\u00a0 3-week-course and amazing Omilo students.
\n<\/p>\n

Note: An extra podcast link will be available soon on Google podcast, Spotify, and SoundCloud,\u00a0 followed by more episodes of the Omilo Greek Diary.
