After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Greek tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced level practitioners.

The actual range of time can differ significantly depending on your already acquired level of Greek or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write 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 it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Greek classes online.
