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.
Lessons in Greek are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Greek Lesson or Small Group In-Company Greek Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Greek sessions can be run with as many as 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
The Greek language has evolved plenty since ancient times - Modern Greek is actually the 5th incarnation of the 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

North Hempstead
Almost 250,000 people live in North Hampstead, New York an affluent city that has a median family income of almost $100,000. With these well-to-do residents also comes a powerful business community that moves back and forth from Wall Street and other commerce centers in Manhattan. The city is predominantly white (74%) but also features growing African-American and Hispanic communities as well (together, they make up almost 20% of the demographic). Given that many residents travel to New York City for work, there is always going to be a benefit for residents who choose to learn a second language. Thanks to Manhattan and cities like North Hempstead, the entire state of New York is one of the most international areas in the country. Learning languages from the Pacific Rim, the romance languages or even more obscure tongues means always having a leg up in New York.
