Student comments about "General Greek" at Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great
Martina
"I started from scratch and can now read and write, and speak a little."
Reimund
"The teachers are very responsive to the needs of the individual students"
Juan
"The weather was too hot to enjoy completely. My level was too low. However, the courses were excellent."
Special note for 2025 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2025 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2024 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2025 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

“The Greek grammar can be explained very well especially by the teacher Anousso. But overall, the lessons with Christos were very 'cozy' and conservative. That means the teacher talks 80 percent of the time, the students a maximum of 20 percent. When we asked him to encourage more speaking (we were only 2 students), he said that it was not yet possible in one week. The other participant (a Protestant pastor) and I had a good basic vocabulary. Apparently he had neither looked at the test nor at the few sentences one should write to oneself. Not a word was said about the test. - I know language schools in England and in France and have experienced wonderful, learning-intensive lessons there. - But the teaching in Thessaloniki is didactically stopped a long time ago. Unfortunately, the initial professional impression was deceptive. Humanly, the two teachers were okay and very nice. But there I can unfortunately not recommend anything. For information about my motivation: In addition to the 5 hours of lessons, I invested a total of another 5 hours of learning per day in the evening and early in the morning. - I was happy to skip the last day because the Thursday class was extremely boring.”

“Very good class with a dedicated teacher. It was fun and educational. Anastasia responded to all questions and adapted the level to the learners. Since nobody was on site with my level, private lessons and additional exercises were added so that everyone learns as much as possible.”
“Compared to other language schools, there are hardly any leisure activities on offer. The school is quite small and there is no separate room for doing homework, reading or similar.”

“Too little care by the management for the teaching equipment, which should have been available to the teacher: Board, marker, wiper, ...didn't fit together or were broken. For the fact that there were only 10 hours of lessons for me, there was too little on offer. ”

“The teachers are very involved and knowledgeable.”
Insider tip: “Bring a laptop, so you can work out what you have learned in a structured way. You will receive information and follow-up information about this during the week and it is therefore nice if you can easily put that together. There is also a program to learn words: wozzol.nl. Works great and can be used for training. Another reason to bring a laptop: you feed this program the fastest from Excel.”
Review details
Quality of teaching / language progress: I am very pleased with the teachers, but the location is very simple. Doesn't really look like a school, at least not in the perception I expected. More like a conference room. It's sufficient. I have not seen a library.
Other comments I wouldn't book a transfer to and from the airport. That is more than twice as expensive as if you arrange taxi transport yourself. By bus and from the bus station in Thessaloniki by taxi is much cheaper.
