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.

“My week at Lamda was amazing. The staff were all very enthusiastic and incredibly helpful. Everything exceeded my expectations. I wish I could have stayed more than a week and I hope to return again. It was a great experience from start to finish. I felt very welcomed and supported. I was taught in a class of four (including me) in the mornings for four hours and on my own in the afternoons for two hours. In between I attend fun activities open to all students. I cannot recommend this course more highly. If you are learning Greek, I would suggest going to the theatre in Athens in the evenings. It was inexpensive and a great way to get another two hours of Greek a day. I went to six plays in Greek. By the end of the week I was totally exhausted but in a very positive way.”

“The teachers were super committed and motivated and always in a super good mood; their good humour was really infectious. The classes were very small, in the first three days there were even only two of us. You could ask anything and every question was answered in detail. The classes were also mixed in terms of age. At first I was a little worried that I would only be sitting around with twenty-year-olds. In my class, the age range was from 18 to 68 and very international. The school is in a beautifully renovated traditional house with an open patio in a quiet pedestrian street in Exarchia with all the cafes and pubs around it. During breaks, there's coffee and biscuits and Greek music. I immediately felt at home. :-)”
Disliked
“This is not a criticism, just an observation: it's going very fast! Four hours of lessons a day plus "activities" plus homework plus learning vocabulary - that's practically a full-time job and very exhausting. The younger students in my course felt the same way. In the second week, I skipped the activities, which - in the beautiful Saloni! - often consisted of conversation. I was overwhelmed with that. In a word, sometimes I would have liked more repetition and a slower pace. (But then I probably wouldn't have the A1 diploma now) ;-)”
Insider tip: “Be sure to join the Whatsapp group. You get to know people and get tips.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I learned a lot and was able to speak a lot.
Other comments A good, very reputable language school, but, as I said: It's not a holiday with a bit of Greek learning. It's learning Greek with a little holiday :-)

“I felt very welcome by the whole team right from the start. We had a great teacher who taught us a lot in a short space of time. At no time was it too demanding, he always took us along with him. We had a lot of fun in the lessons, they were very lively and not only taught us the language but also things about the country and its people. I can recommend Lambda without reservation and will definitely come back again. I would have liked to stay longer.”

“Enthusiastic welcoming, thoughtful. I was able to choose a level that suited me better than the school had thought of.”
Disliked
“I advised the, otherwise fine, teacher not to switch to English too quickly after her Greek sentences.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: The extra afternoon courses were fun to do, just sometimes in a competitive setting. I learn a language better in a different setting, e.g. mutual support.

The Lamda Project

“The Lamda Project was founded in May 2018 in Athens, an ancient city with historical roots, as an effort to spread the Modern Greek culture worldwide. We offer modern Greek language classes, as well as the opportunity to choose between several different options related to Greek history and culture (Greek philosophy, ancient Greek, Greek mythology, Greek historical figures). Our school is located at the centre of Athens and our aim is to merge the past with the present…to learn the actual local language/culture/society.”

The school's main goal for their students is that they should learn the culture and the actual local life, so activities focus on that specific purpose: deepening the students' understanding of authentic Greek life.

Weekly activities schedule:
- Monday: conversational skills
- Tuesday: cultural workshop
- Wednesday: Tandem language exchange at a bar
- Thursday: Greek short film and conversation
- Friday: Board games

All the activities are: free of charge, held by the school staff, and are in Greek.¡ (Apart from Tandem-Language exchange at a bar, on which anyone pays for his/her own drink.) The activities take place every day at 14.10 (apart from Wednesday's activity which is held at 20.00).

Note: Activity times might possibly change during high season and/or a week with a bank holiday (as the time schedule of the course will adjust for the substitution of the lost day's lessons).
