🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Greek?
Some people brag about their 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 study. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your current level of Greek or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, write using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Greek out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Greek classes online.

In language centers, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, always! The largest selection of tested Greek tutors with video profiles and true reviews is available on online language learning 'supermarkets' like Preply.

Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
