Our Greek speakers, fully qualified to teach their native tongue, can train you and, if need be, the rest of your group at a time that is suitable to you, at your home or place of work. Sessions can take place on the day of your choosing - even weekends - and at the time you want: whether it be morning, afternoon or evening. If circumstances arise where your home or office is not convenient, the classes can be held at your trainer's office. Resources for the lesson are provided for you.
These Greek lessons fit a broader spectrum, and can be useful for those who need different things from the language. Most beginner students will have a handle of survival Greek by the end of their lesson, which will provide them with enough Greek to communicate at least at a basic level during short trips to the country, but those who require more would benefit greatly from these sessions. Typical students have been those eager to travel all over the world, those buying overseas property, those with foreign spouses, aficionados of Greek culture and those who just wish to pass a particular Greek exam.
Greek lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Greek to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Greek, as well as survival Greek should a short stay in the country be needed.
Those wishing to learn Greek in groups of 2 or more together (Two-to-One Greek Lessons or Small Group In-Company Greek Lessons) can sign up for our group classes. All students must be at nearly the same level of Greek proficiency, must have the same needs from the language, and must be able to study at the same time and place as the others. Bookings must be made for all students simultaneously. Listen & Learn do not propose group sizes or more than 6-8 people, but In-Company Taster Greek Lessons can occur with up to 12 people.
Greek is able to create long compounded words by combining together several smaller words; using a single word to express what would otherwise need a whole sentence
Communities of Greek speakers can be found in the Ukraine, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Egypt, Albania, Italy and as far afield as Palestine and Georgia
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

Colorado Springs
The Springs, as it's affectionately known by all who hold this Rocky Mountains city dear to their hearts, is located just south of Denver in the State of Colorado and near the base of Pikes Peak. While early travellers were seeking pristine recuperation from tuberculosis in the high altitude and dry air of Colorado Springs, these days there are many more reasons for international visitors to pass through and settle in the city. This means that The Springs is a fantastic place to take the plunge into learning a new language! Sister city status with Fujiyoshida (Japan), Kaohsiung (Taiwan), Smolensk (Russia), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan) and Nuevo Casas Grandes (Mexico) ensures Colorado Springs a steady stream of student exchange and understanding between the communities. It also provides an unbeatable opportunity to study a relevant and fascinating foreign language.
