🎟 Is it affordable to learn Greek and what does a lesson with a tutor of Greek cost?
For university and college courses you can estimate Greek course cost by dividing annual tuition by 10 (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 45-48 instruction hours each semester. Language centers and independent Greek tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Greek tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 25 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, ratings and popularity.

📚 What level of Greek do I need to sign up for a course?
When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. Predetermined curriculum classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and testing, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Greek tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other expertise they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For maximum flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.
🔥 Why is Greek so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Greek. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Greek fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most phrases, express yourself, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Greek. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Greek tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Greek?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Greek will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Greek or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Greek out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Greek classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Greek coach?
In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, certainly! The largest selection of pre-screened Greek tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.
🗓 What's the lesson schedule like?
Colleges as a rule offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
