Course description

This online Modern Greek course is aimed at learners who have already studied Greek for about a year and can use Greek to get by in a limited range of situations, and who are looking to develop their language skills further and learn more about the Greek people and their culture.

In a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, you will have plenty of opportunities to practice your speaking and listening skills through a variety of fun activities, games and roleplays so that you can feel confident to communicate with Greek speakers. Although the emphasis will be on developing your speaking and listening skills, the course will also help you improve your grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and to a lesser extent your writing skills.

Topics include talking about members of your family or friends, jobs and places of work, shopping for various items, and shopping habits. The course is taught by a well-qualified and experienced native speaker with many years’ teaching experience who will help you explore the language and the culture. This course requires the purchase of a book that usually retails at around £50 or significantly less when it goes on offer from time to time.

This course is not appropriate for beginners. If you are not sure if this course is right for you, feel free to discuss it with WEA staff at skills check.
