VALANTIS LIATSOS

In the Greek lesson, I like to teach my students the parts of the language, the grammar, the vocabulary and that they can slowly learn and be able to produce complete and correct speech. It is very creative and pleasant that with the help of the electronic board there is a live tradition, with original examples that I can create for each student so that he can understand it and then he himself can immediately make his own examples.. I absolutely love seeing continuous progress in my students which motivates them to go even further.

I started teaching the Greek language when I was a student at the University. During these ten years I have gained experience in teaching both private courses and classes of students who want to learn the Greek language and students who are taking exams for their admission to the university.

the reasons why someone wants to learn Greek vary. Some young students of Greek origin who live abroad want their parents to learn the Greek language properly. Other students are interested in learning the Greek language because of its rich history and literary and poetic tradition. There are also students who want to learn the Greek language and get a recognition degree by taking exams. In general, the Greek language is a difficult but very attractive and beautiful language and there is a lot of interest in learning it, as Greek words are used worldwide and in scientific fields.

The Greek language is a very difficult language for the reason that it is a language that has existed since ancient times and has evolved. It contains an extremely rich vocabulary with many exceptions in verbs, nouns and other parts of speech. It is difficult because it contains the part of declension, articles, syntax and a number of grammatical and syntactic phenomena.

students of the Greek language are interested in learning a lot about the way of life in. Greece, the customs, the traditions, the way of life in general. they are attracted to the way of life and the sense of hospitality that they know exists. Others are still interested in the historical and cultural part of the country. mainly, many well-known poets and ancient philosophers who want to learn are known.

The most difficult thing in the lesson of the Greek language is to try to teach the students through a third language, e.g. English, grammatical phenomena, syntax and words that exist only in the Greek language.

A good student is one who shows interest in the lesson. he has questions and a desire, when he learns something new, to make his own example. He is the one who pays attention and with his perception to understand the new information. He should not be afraid of the mistake and ask something as many times as necessary until he understands it. There is no such thing as a bad question and only in this way can a proper communication between student and teacher be built.

my advice for a student who will find it difficult in something is not to get frustrated and want to give up straight away. he needs patience, to ask as many times as he wants and to practice until he understands what makes it difficult for him.

It depends on the student. Every student is different. It is also very important if he has contact with the language in his everyday life and outside of class. A language is much easier to learn when there is daily contact and stimulation.

Trying to combine vocabulary and grammar. personal practice and watching electronic videos in Greek that helped a lot in the acquisition and understanding of the language and learning the pronunciation. Also the practical practice in grammar exercises and the learning of words that are used daily in the Greek language. This will gradually lead to the production of sentences and speech.
