Il corso è molto interessante e Mona è un’insegnante paziente e professionale . In soli 7 giorni ho imparato tante cose non solo sulla lingua greca ma anche su molte tradizioni locali. Consiglio questo corso a chi vuole conoscere la lingua greca perché è davvero bellissima. Ringrazio Mona per avermi insegnato a scrivere in greco …non pensavo di farcela! A presto e ευχάριστώ

I took two weeks of Greek lessons with Mona in October last year. Not only is her house located in beautiful Lefkes with a view of the sea, but the lessons were a lot of fun. Even though I speak quite a few languages a complete beginner in Greek. Mona taught me the basics of this fascinating language and mixed in both music, food, history and dancing! It was really a full immersion into Greek life. I can warmly recommend learning Greek with Mona!

È stata un’esperienza meravigliosa, Mona è fantastica e con lei ho imparato tantissime cose in una settimana a Paros! Ci tengo a ringraziarla tantissimo e sicuramente tornerò presto!
