Courses and Teachers : Greek
Q:
What do you like the most about teaching Greek?
A:

Teaching is about human interaction.

You give and take. With most of my students we keep in touch and there is a kind of friendship between us.

I love explaining how every greek word doesn't just mean something but it describes an object, a feeling, a condition.

I like my students' reaction when we meet english or international words that come from a greek word. For example, ecology, economy, epidemic.


 
Q:
When did you start teaching Greek?
A:

I have been teaching for more than 10 years.


 
Q:
In your experience, what are the most common reasons for wanting to learn Greek?
A:

My students are

* older Greek people that live abroad and they want to speak fluently

* young people, who want to find their Greek roots

* students or professors of Humanities

Q:
How difficult is it to learn Greek, compared to other languages?
A:

In English we say: it' s Greek to me, about something so complicated and difficult.

In Greek, in the same circumstances, we say: it seems Chinese to me.

What I mean is: everytime we learn a new language it seems so difficult.

It's completely normal. That's why we need a teacher, to help us overcome obstacles.
