What I like the most about teaching Greek is learning and understanding the origin of the Ancient Greek word. Understanding the actual meaning of the word can take you to a whole other level in you grammar but mostly in your understanding of using the words correctly. I enjoy showing my students that many of the words we are using today are actually Greek for example : doctor, democracy, marathon, athlete ,planet, acrobat, galaxy, melancholy, narcissism, phobia, panic, scandal, sarcasm, and of course many words that doctors and scientists use are based in Latin and Greek language. It fascinate

I started teaching Greek in a very young age. Coming from a big greek family I enjoyed helping my sisters and cousins with their Greek literature lessons. Later on having that experience I decided to teach Greek to people who didn't speak any Greek but desire to learn it. I have been teaching over 6 years.

People who are interested in language origin and morphology are mostly people who want to learn Greek. Also having lived abroad people who have married a partner that is greek are interested in leaning Greek

Is very difficult to learn Greek but with the right native tutor, with fun and of course will to learn you will be able to speak Greek very soon.
