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.
96% of the population of Greece can converse in the national language
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
Greek has given words (and parts of words) to many other European languages

Coquitlam
A part of metropolitan Vancouver, Coquitlam is a large city unto itself, with over 125,000 people currently living inside its borders. Coquitlam is known throughout Canada for its coastal exports and sea-based businesses, which have provided a large portion of the funds flowing into the local economy since the 1950's. The biggest employers in Coquitlam are the town itself, Art in Motion and the large casino that brings in thousands of visitors from around the neighboring cities each week. Over a full third of the population is Korean, Chinese or South Asian which means that the best languages to learn in Coquitlam are those from the Pacific Rim countries.
