Our native-speaking qualified Greek teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you.

Greek lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Greek - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Greek usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Greek classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Greek culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Greek.
These Greek lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Greek to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Greek, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
The Greek lessons are also available for 2 or more people studying together (Two-to-One Greek Lesson or Small Group In-Company Greek Lesson). All participants must have the same level, the same business or general language needs and be able to study at the same time in the same location. The booking must be made for all participants at the same time. Listen & Learn do not recommend group classes of more than 6-8 people although In-Company Taster Greek Lessons can be run with up to 12 people.
In a lot of respects, Modern Greek is a developed version of Ancient Greek, yet it has lost much of its complexity, including the dative case, the optative mood, the infinitive, and participles
Communities of Greek speakers can be found in the Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Albania, Italy and as far afield as Palestine and Georgia
The Greek language has evolved plenty since ancient times - Modern Greek is actually the 5th incarnation of the language
