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.
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.
Those who would benefit the most from these Greek tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Greek to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Greek, as well as survival Greek should a visit to the country be necessary.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Greek, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Greek lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Greek Lessons or Small Group In-Company Greek Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Greek can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
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
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
The Greek alphabet has been employed by Greeks since around 800BC

Detroit
Did you know that the name Detroit comes from the Detroit River? Not that there's anything particularly remarkable or inspired about that. But the name of the river in French is L'étroit du Lac Erie ("The strait of Lake Erie"), and D'étroit means "At the strait." Well there you go. Detroit has gone a long way as a centre for international diversity and language learning since its founding in 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, yet Francophone traces are still evident today. Forget a study abroad program in Brussels; Detroit has the largest Belgian concentration outside of Belgium! Detroit abounds in Italian, Greek, German, Polish, and Arabic ethnic communities due to the twentieth century burgeoning of the automobile industry. Detroit's linguistic diversity gives the language learner the best opportunity for mother tongue tuition and everyday exposure to their language of choice.
