Doing archeological fieldwork, studying, travelling, doing an internship – in short, staying in Greece is more engaging when you are able to communicate in… Greek! Together with the Nederlands Instituut Athene and UvA’s Modern Greek department, Taalhuis Amsterdam has developed intensive Greek courses in Athens. The courses are geared to students and PhD’s. In this 10 day course there are 4 to 4,5 hours of lessons each day (plus self study). Next to language lessons we normally explore the city and organise various extra activities to bring your Greek into practice, such as cooking, shopping, concerts, theatre. But because of the current crisis this summers course will be online!
Of course an online immersion cannot compete with classes in the center of Athens, but we’ve done our best to create an interactive program to stay involved in Greece and the Greek language from wherever you are.
The next course Modern Greek intensive will take place from 25 June 2020-4 July 2020 and will be conducted on two levels: II and III (and with enough interest there will be conversation and exam preparation classes for level V)
The program will be as following (subject to last minute changes):
Thursday to Saturday:
9:00-10:30 group class (ZOOM)
10:30-12:00 self study (exercises from the class, teachers are available for questions)12:00-13:30 group class (ZOOM)
