Why you should learn Greek!

Family: The main reason most people want to learn Greek is because they want to stay close to their greek heritage and culture and to be able to communicate easily with their family when they visit Greece.  

Greek Diaspora: Modern Greek is ranked 61st according to the number of native speakers but is quite widespread due to the Greek Diaspora all over the world.

Science: Still many Greek words have been widely borrowed into other languages, in scientific fields like mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, medicine, chemistry etc. Greek doctors working abroad are very privileged as most medicine terminology comes from Greek. This also means that millions of people know a lot of Greek without being aware of it.

Tourism: Greece is one of the most popular destinations for tourists around the world, attracting over 16.5 million travellers a year. Most Greeks are fluent in English but conversing with locals in their mother language gives another prospective to your visit and makes you feel less of a visitor and more of a Greek.
Challenge: The Greek language is one of the oldest in use today and distinguished by its extraordinarily rich vocabulary, numbering more than 70.000.000 words.
For all the above reasons and for many more has been established to support you and make greek learning possible, easy and fun for you and your kids
