Greek course on Lefkada island | 1-Week Group Lessons

A Greek course on Lefkada island, is perfect to combine an intensive Greek language course with a holiday in a relaxing environment and a beautiful natural setting, next to the beach. The Omilo team will guide you through a one-week program during which you can fully focus on improving your Greek language and communication skills. However, learning Greek is more than just vocabulary and grammar, it’s also about getting to know the Greek culture and communicating with the locals. Therefor we also propose several optional afternoon activities, which are a perfect way to practice speaking Greek and learn more about the Greek culture and the “real Greece”! After completing the program, you will feel much more self-confident when using the Greek language and you will be motivated to start communicating in Greek. Furthermore, the impressive natural beauty of Lefkada Island offers many possibilities for relaxing walks, excursions or time at the beach.

On the indicated arrival day, Sunday, the Omilo team will welcome you at 19.00 in the Lefkada School, situated at the Agatha Pension in the village of Agios Nikitas, 10km north of the town of Lefkas. You will be introduced to the teachers and other participants and the program will be explained as well as all the options for activities or excursions. At around 20.00 all students are invited to a tavern meal in a local Greek tavern in Agios Nikitas, which is included in the course price. It is the perfect moment to get to know the other participants, talk to the teachers, taste Greek food and start communicating in Greek.

The following Monday your Greek classes will begin. On the first day of the course, students will be asked to take a quick placement test so that they can be put in the right class. The course materials will be given out during the course and are included in the price.

You will have six days of classes, on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and on Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The last day of classes is on Sunday, finishing at 14.00. On Thursday you will have no classes; thus, you will have an opportunity to explore the island, relax on the beach, study your Greek vocabulary or participate in one of the activities on offer.

In addition to the intensive Greek lessons in the morning, various social and cultural activities during the afternoons (free of charge) are organized, during which you can also practice to speak Greek.
