Greek Lessons for Erasmus Students | Erasmus in Greece

learn greek

Are you preparing for your Erasmus semester in Greece? Is it your dream to study the classics in Athens or spend an adventurous semester on a Greek island? Then you might be wondering whether it is necessary to speak, write, and read in Greek on a proficient level.

The short answer to this is: no, it is not necessary. There are plenty of classes and seminars or entire programs that are held in English in Greek Universities. At the same time, most people can communicate in English. So, learning Greek is not a matter of survival.

But you should ask yourself:

  1. Is it possible to get the ultimate Greek experience without speaking the language?
  2. Will you be able to hangout with the local students?
  3. Are all the classes you are interested in available in a language you are familiar with?

Greek Lessons for Erasmus Students | Greek for Erasmus

If you are interested in spending a semester in Athens, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, or any other place in Greece? Then you should consider getting started with at least the basics of the Greek language. And once you finally land there, you will be able to immerse yourself in Greek by attending classes, seminars, and by building relationships with Greek people.

We understand that learning Greek might be more challenging than learning French, Spanish, or Italian. And that is not necessarily because of the complexity of the language โ€“ once you get familiar with the alphabet, the rest will unfold- but mostly because of the lack of language schools that include Greek in their curriculum. The same goes with native Greek language instructors โ€“ they are not a lot out there. And here is where Helinika comes into place with its complete video course that is perfect for Erasmus students.  You can now teach yourself Greek with easy-to-follow videos and learn one of the oldest languages in the world anytime, anywhere. All you need is access to a computer or a tablet.
