People learning Greek, as a hobby,\u00a0 are really special, and you do not meet them every day! However, Omilo was founded in 1996 and has welcomed so many students from every corner in the world, all wanting to learn Greek.
\nOver the years, we have heard the most amazing reasons why somebody wants to learn Greek, which we could never have imagined \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Here below you can read a nice & true story,\u00a0 written by Lesley: \u201cHow I heard about Omilo\u2026 and then registered immediately!\u201d<\/strong> My name is Lesley; I live in Perth, Western Australia \u2026. In March 2015, I was accompanying my friend for a routine X-ray after an unsuccessful shopping trip for sandals \u2026 We were in the waiting room, chatting away when I saw a lady approach the desk in front of us. \u201cI like her shoes \u201d I whispered; \u201cthey are exactly what I\u2019m after\u2026..\u201d. So here is how Lesley met Sally!<\/p>\n I plucked up my courage \u201cExcuse me, I hope you don\u2019t mind me asking, but where did you get your sandals from? \u201d She kindly told me where she purchased them and added \u201d I\u2019ve walked miles in Greece in these sandals \u201d<\/p>\n We started chatting and I told Sally that I was hoping to go to Greece that year to learn Greek and had been looking at courses on various Greek islands; I was undecided as the Internet can sometimes be so misleading. Sally uttered those fateful words “you must go through Omilo! She had attended for several years \u2013 the teachers were marvelous \u2013 professional \u2013 the standard high etc. : she generously gave me her email and further information on the course and the island of Syros. I took the bull by the horns and booked!<\/p>\n A chance meeting, a tenuous question, a friendly response ( and some nice sandals purchased) and I\u2019ve completed my 2-week introduction to Greek during the summer of 2015 in Syros, with Omilo\u2026<\/p>\n I\u2019ve met some very friendly, fabulous and interesting folk from all walks of life: and the experience was outstanding in every way. How could it be improved? Not at all\u2026 Not in any way. It\u2019s perfect. Thank you to Omilo. I would not hesitate to recommend your school.<\/p>\n Regards and hope I\u2019ll be able to attend again<\/p>\n (Cecilia) Lesley Smith<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PS. Lesly once again attended an Omilo-course in August 2019, on the island of Syros.<\/p>\n
\nHer story was sent to Omilo through our Essay Competition in 2015.
