Linda S., Greek 6B, Spring 2025

“Thank you so much for your vision to create this Greek class, for the constant ’sunshine’ in your faces, your positive outlook, your supportive and memorable methods of teaching. The opportunity to connect again with the lyricism, the beauty and the poetry of the Greek language has been a gift. (And, yes, I believe the grammar creates poetry)! Every day in Greek class is a positive day. I’ve already learned so much.”

Here’s what other students had to say:

“I absolute loved this course! I felt that the pacing was consistent and good for beginners… I felt that I learned a lot in such a short amount of time and I am very pleased with the course. I hope one day I can go to Athens and meet Natassa and Maria because they were wonderful teachers!”

“I love this course. Anastasia, Maria and Katarina are engaging and encouraging. I look forward to class each morning because it is challenging and fun at the same time. Natasha is creative and patient. She consistently creates ingenious lessons to help us understand the complexities of the language…I learned more in this semester than I learned in 4 years of Japanese. I can ask and answer basic questions in Greek and all I can ask in Japanese is, “Excuse me, where is the bathroom?” Thank you for creating this program. It’s fantastic.”

“I loved that the class turned into a whole family who was learning Greek together. It was the best part of my day, and the instructors were super amazing.”

“I’ve tried to learn Greek for so long through watching videos, Duolingo, and writing classes, but nothing has been as effective as taking a course where you are speaking Greek 5 days a week with a group that is all there to support you. I loved that everyone had a chance to talk in groups with one another and you are always being pushed to improve your speaking and pronunciation. I had been looking for a course like this for so long, and I’m so happy I was able to find this, meet wonderful people, and get closer to my family through the Greek language.”
