Learn The Modern Greek Alphabet
With private lessons, online, or with the multi-media eBook


Reading, Writing & First Sentences.

Are you struggling to read the Greek alphabet? How would you feel when you could read a Greek menu-card, street names, placenames, the destination of a bus, etc…? When you know to read Greek, you also know exactly how every word is pronounced.
Reading, writing or pronouncing Greek is not as difficult as it might seem.

You will probably already recognize a lot of the letters since most European languages use Greek letters in mathematics, science etc. And by the way, also the word “alphabet” comes from the first two Greek letters in the Greek Alphabet, “alpha” and “beta”.

At Omilo, we offer 3 courses, to learn to read and write the Greek Alphabet, as well as learning your first sentences in Greek

  1.  The multi-media eBook; is the cheapest option for those that have the discipline to learn by themselves.  CLICK HERE
    However, if you prefer to learn together with a teacher, we are here to help you
  2. With private lessons in Greece
  3. With online lessons by Skype or Zoom

In this short course, you will learn how to write, read and pronounce the Modern Greek alphabet together with your teacher. (three times 1 hour) While practicing the alphabet, you will also learn easy daily vocabulary, small sentences and how to present yourself in Greek. On top of that, you will also receive the Alphabet eBook with videos, which you will have as a guide, any time, any place.

After completing this course, you will feel more comfortable in Greece and take joy in learning and reading more words every day. Your holiday in Greece will be much more fun and interesting. So what are you waiting for?

About the course


Greek courses at Omilo help students develop all four language skills: speaking, listening reading and writing. During the lessons, the teacher will guide you in acquiring and practicing both vocabulary and grammatical structures, keeping a balance between theory and practice. “Speaking the language” is in general something our teachers try to focus on, unless you prefer a different approach.

Apart from learning the Greek language quickly and effectively, with a private course you can choose the topics, vocabulary, or grammar that interest you the most in order to achieve any specific objectives you may have for personal use or in your profession. You can of course discuss your goals and expectations with the Omilo teacher, who will personalize a program for you accordingly.

  • One teaching hour = 55 minutes
  • In case you need to cancel a scheduled lesson, you must inform your teacher by email, at the latest 48 hours before the scheduled time. In case you cancel later than 48 hours before the lesson, this lesson will be charged.
  • The hours of every contract should be completed within six months after contract date (the months July & August are not counted for courses in Athens as we do not offer private lessons during this period in Athens).
  • Course materials: after your placement test, the teacher will inform you as to which book/materials will be needed  and  let you know whether or not it is necessary to buy a textbook. All recommended  textbooks can be found either at the Omilo school (at € 30,00 per book) or at almost any bookshop in Greece.

For the packages – intensive weeks of private lessons  (more than 6 hours per week)

  • One teaching hour = 55 minutes

    If you cancel a lesson less than 24 hours in advance, or the same day, the lesson will be charged.
  • For the weekly “Packages”: the programs are organised per week and the course materials are included in the price. For prices, see above. It is important to note that due to the intensive nature of these programs and the commitments of our teachers, private lessons cannot be canceled once they commence. Consequently, the payment and cancellation procedures for these private lessons are the same as those applied to our 1- and 2-week intensive courses.

Private lessons are available for all language levels. The teacher adapts the course according to the language needs of each student. By visiting our language levels page, you will get a better idea about the differences between one language level and another.
