Greece is a state of mind, a collection of sensations, colours, tastes and sounds that bring people together in a very special way. Starting from the basics and learning how to communicate in simple everyday situations will help students prepare for a journey in Greece, learn the language of their ancestors or stimulate their brain with a completely different language.
In Roy’s class, students are encouraged to participate in a fun and relaxing environment where mistakes are welcomed as friends.
