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.
Used by around 17 million people, Greek is mainly spoken in Greece and Cyprus
The Greek language has evolved plenty since ancient times - Modern Greek is actually the 5th incarnation of the language
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

Oshawa
Oshawa is located near Ontario, but is not technically a part of the Greater Ontario Area. The backbone of the Oshawa economy has always been the automotive industry. General Motors has long been a staple of the area, with the car manufacturer's Canadian operations located there. GM has been the primary employer of many of Oshawa's residents for years, at both the executive level and in the major parts assembly plant that sits just outside of the downtown center. Canada's most famous race horse, Northern Dancer, was born in Oshawa at Winfield Farms, the well-regarded Canadian horse farm and breeder. Of the 150,000 people who live in Oshawa, over 10% are minorities from around the world. As such, learning a second language such as Arabic, Chinese or others is an essential part of communicating with those who live there. In addition, the European heritage of the residents makes Eastern European tongues a popular learning experience as well.
