Course Overview

Online Greek Levels 7&8 is an Elementary Greek course for students who are already in the process of learning Greek. This is an intensive Greek course allowing you to take two Greek levels in 10 weeks and progress more quickly. Online Greek Level 7&8 requires that you have previously studied Greek Level 6 or a course of at least 72 class hours. If you’re unsure of your level, then check our level chart.

Our Online Greek language classes take place via Zoom with a qualified, experienced teacher and fellow students. The interactive lessons emulate our face-to-face classes, and via teacher screen-sharing, students are able to experience a live classroom environment. From vocabulary activities and covering grammar points on the white board, to listening exercises, file sharing and ‘break-out rooms’ to practise speaking with classmates, students can learn without leaving the comfort of their homes. Take a look at an example of one of our online classes in this video.
