This course builds on existing Greek language skills and develops greater fluency and confidence in communication. Learners will expand their vocabulary, improve their use of grammar, and communicate more independently in a range of everyday situations.

Through practical activities and real-life tasks, students will practice talking about past experiences, plans, and everyday topics such as travel, transactions, and social interactions.

Homework is given on a weekly basis. To benefit most from the course, you will be encouraged to read the materials used during lessons.
