A1 Level Course in Modern Greek
Beginner Course | CEFR Level A1
Course Description
Our A1 course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of Greek.
This comprehensive program follows international standards and prepares you for real-world communication with native speakers.
A1 Course Details
A1 level courses preparing students to be able to:
- understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type.
- introduce themselves and others and ask and answer questions about personal details such as where they live, people they know and things they have.
- interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
There are 8 classes to complete MG-A1 level starting from the entry class MG-A1.1 for absolute beginners and ending with the class MG-A1.8; each class lasts one term
Unsure where to start?
For absolute beginners, with no prior knowledge in Greek, A1.1 is for you.
If you think you might be past this stage, take a look at the Common Reference Levels - self-assessment grid (pdf document 214KB): In clear "I can" statements you can find your starting point with confidence.
Our goal is to help you achieve your learning goals at your own pace, and we'll be there to help you every step of the way. Your teacher will also advise if they think a different level might be more suitable for you.
