Greek – Ελληνικά
Why learn Greek?
A lot of the things that you do and see every day have been influenced by the ancient Greeks. Medicine, education, theatre, politics, history, arts, maritime, mathematics; most of the languages of the world have loans from the Greek language.
Holidaymakers, businessmen and educators find Greece the ideal destination for tourism, work or other opportunities.
Although Greeks are very keen on learning foreign languages, how about learning Greek to impress the locals by showing appreciation and respect to their culture and language?
