Myrte studied Latin and Ancient Greek and Modern Greek in Amsterdam and Athens and is in love with the Mediterranean and the languages (but also the dishes, songs and coffee) from this area. Ingredients that inspired her to co-found Taalhuis Amsterdam in 2013.

She has been teaching Modern Greek and Dutch for many years and enjoys teaching languages as much as learning languages.  She hopes to help her students to feel comfortable in a foreign language, experiment and enjoy the ‘magic’ process of learning a new language. She loves to go on trips with Taalhuis groups to collect words and memories.
