What our students said about Thessaloniki

5.0

Rating: 5/5

The city has stolen my heart. It is a very large and busy city, but I could live there as long as it is outside the center. I did not take advantage of the nightlife. I rarely or never do in NL. I felt safe there, but of course I have not been in the middle of the center at night or in probably also existing lesser neighborhoods. There were beggars (handicapped and elderly) and gypsies selling or begging. For a city of this size, there were extremely few. Public transport is cheap and frequent, but a taxi is only slightly more expensive, so that is my preference. You have to speak Greek, because drivers hardly speak anything. I did manage well and never once in the city felt that I was being dropped off. The museums in the city are worth a look, but important museums like the ethnographic are not open at the specified times. Unfortunately, the musical instrument museum is completely closed to the public. You can enjoy excellent food in Thessaloniki for a very reasonable price, somewhere between 6-20 euros including drinks. The shops are expensive. Buying clothes is not a good idea, the prices are excessively high. Supermarkets have a Dutch or higher price level.

The warm welcome, the human and pedagogical qualities of our teacher, Christos, his method of progression which is not too rapid to consolidate the basics, the emphasis on oral expression and written homework to check whether you have understood correctly.

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.

The teachers are very involved and knowledgeable.
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.

Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great

The school was very flexible in accommodating my needs (private tuition) and promoted me so I met other students in the school.
My teacher had very good teaching skills and was really helpful and friendly. The lessons were very useful and a pleasure to attend. I learned a lot and became more fluent in Greek, which was my primary interest.

Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great

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.
