Hear What Other Students Have To Say About Making Friends with the Greek Alphabet course

Hear what others say about the course...

Demetra's Greek course is wonderful. She breaks down the Greek language into very manageable pieces. She is an extremely attentive teacher who offers her time generously to make sure you are learning. Her course has another advantage in that she is not a native Greek speaker so she has gone through the very same process and knows the tips and tricks for success.

Demetra is an incredible teacher. She formulates her classes upon individual comprehension of the material, and makes sure you feel comfortable and challenged. Her teaching style is very personal and encouraging. I have always wanted to improve my Greek and this is by far the best course I have found.

I loved this course.  It was perfect as I am a very busy mom.  After three years of living in Greece I have finally mastered the alphabet.  It always felt like I didn't have the time or energy to learn it.  Also it felt overwhelming to even try.  I love Demetra's approach, her enthusiasm and her support while taking the course.  I would highly recommend this course for busy moms.

Hi Demetra,

I have found your course to be very enjoyable and entertaining.  The amount of information provided in the 8 weeks has been challenging to absorb and remember.  But this is mainly because I have not been able to devote sufficient time to studying.   However, within a few weeks, I hope to have caught up. Going through the topics covered again, I think the structure is perfect.  As it provides a really good grounding and solid foundation from which I hope to continue to build. I have really appreciated Melina's videos and audio recordings - as they provide a great way to learn the words and phrases - and to understand the pronunciation.I am very grateful to you for the help you, and your course, have provided to me in learning the alphabet and starting to explore the language. I hope you can use this first course as your springboard to expand and help thousands of students to learn Greek, with the benefit of your own experience and understanding of the challenges they face.

Demetra Lambros is a wonderful teacher who is passionate about the Greek language and its beauty, rhythm and vivid expressiveness. She is equally passionate about engaging, encouraging and empowering her students and does this with great warmth, humor and enthusiasm. I greatly enjoyed the course and am looking forward to going to Greece in the near future and know that I will be more confident and joyful in my ability to communicate and connect!

I am so happy for this first module and the live classes we've had. Love that you teach with a smile and with a sense of humor. That takes away a lot of pressure. 

I love how this course is put together. If you would have started with grammar for example, you would have lost me immediately. The way you teach makes me curious and interested to learn more and to start with common phrases, well wishing etc makes it easy to put into practice and use immediately. Love it! 

This course has been super helpful for me in my process of learning and becoming friends with the Greek language. Demetra is an incredibly encouraging and helpful teacher who teaches with both humor and passion for the language and the Greek culture. It's impossible to not be affected and encouraged by this. The setup of the course is also great since the content is easy to start using right away. This has given me more confidence and courage to try to communicate in greek.

I like how you are quickly getting us to be comfortable reading and writing and speaking and how you interject extra information but enforce that it isn't necessary to remember it all right now.  Feels manageable and I'm enjoying it!

This is a perfect "alphabet refresher course" for me. As you know, I'm familiar with the Greek alphabet but hadn't thought about it in many years. Your program is much more fun than the brutal Greek school I remember dreading as a young child.  Soon I will be in uncharted territory and the material will become more difficult but I'm not worried as the introduction has been so smooth.

I appreciate your videos in which you present each new wordlist so that I can hear the pronunciation and play it over and over. I also appreciate that you are encouraging us to learn how to write /spell words and to be able to name letters that make certain sounds by rote. I believe learning the basic concept words by rote will go a long way in helping me become fluent. Using the dates to help us begin to read, pronounce and write was a good place to focus my attention on making my pronunciation accurate rather than jumping into sentences.

I absolutely loved taking this course with Demetra! Having just moved to Greece last November, this course was perfect for me. Demetra’s love for the Greek language and culture was contagious and her enthusiasm and encouragement made me not want class time to end! Thank Demetra for creating such a brilliant course.

-Rebecca DiSabatino

During the lockdown in Greece I finally had the time to take a beginners class with Demetra and to my surprise I was totally captured by the classes and how fun it was to learn Greek, and what a wonderful teacher Demetra was. I have studied four different languages normally in a school but being online with her and one other student was a joy and I looked forward to meeting them every week.
