"My teacher Eleni was wonderful, very personable, taught me everything well, she also speaks great German, the chemistry was right and I even happened to have private lessons because there were few students at the time and we all had different levels. All the other teachers and the teacher Effie are also very nice. The other students too. I felt very comfortable there! The week went by far too quickly. Now I just have to put what I've learnt into practice..."

"When I was there, it was very hot, around 36 degrees, but that's not Chania's fault, it has to do with climate change, it was usually around 30 degrees at that time. The advantage was that the water in the sea wasn't too cold and I preferred to stay in the water."

"The teachers are all very friendly and accommodating, there are always cookies and snacks available during break and you can always get a coffee or water. There is air conditioning in every room and the teaching is competent and well thought out."
Negative aspects
"I didn't really like the book that was used there, it's not structured strictly and is often incomprehensible, the instructions are only in Greek and there are no solutions at the back of the book. This makes the book not suitable for working alone at home, which I thought was a shame. I didn't take it home with me because it is very thick and heavy. On the other hand, the vocabulary list at the back of the book is very good. Otherwise I have nothing to complain about!"

City/place
"A beautiful little place with a historic old town with many small shops and small streets, a Venetian harbor and a wonderful soft sandy beach without pebbles!"
Accommodation
"The Ideon Hotel is a cute hotel 200m from the beach and 8 minutes walk to the school. Theresa and Antonis are incredibly friendly and fulfill your every wish. The rooms are very small and the balcony is only a small towel, but the bed is 1.40 m wide. All in all, it meets the requirements. The roof terrace is great and you can do your homework or hang out there. I would have liked the breakfast to be a little more plentiful. So I bought the fruits and nuts for my muesli myself. But I would go to this hotel again at any time, I felt very comfortable there!"

"Nice competent teacher Maria, coffee/tea with sweets well taken care of, enthusiastic team, huge amount of information on Greek language. Especially a lot of grammar. And the pace was high. Private lesson because there was only 1 other student. Classroom atmosphere was good. Instructive homework."
Negative aspects
"Discussion point with team after week of classes paid for 40 hours of lessons. According to school academic class schedule of 50 minutes. First week from 9am to 12.30pm and second week 9am to 1.30pm with 10-minute break. Friday 14 April 2023 turned out to be no class. This could have been more clearly confirmed by the school. There were no additional afternoon activities and excursions. On the Wednesday 12 April 2023 to informed tomorrow is my last day then had lunch with other groups which was fine. Museum was mock 3D half-hour film with 15 minutes of that on Greek history. I had lunch and dinner on my own for a fortnight. It was a pity that doing a lot of things in a group was not possible. This meant that speaking Greek remained underexposed. Furthermore, the classroom was not cleaned once in two weeks."

Negative aspects
"Too poorly lit, too loud. We had the door open because it was so hot, but there were motorbikes and noisy traffic outside so we didn't always hear what we were saying. No air conditioning so lucky it was early summer. Would not recommend anyone to study later in June-July-August."

"Think in advance if there is an activity you would like to do in your free time. The school/Effie can help book you in. For example, I didn't know she could arrange dance lessons (Greek dance). Too bad, because I would have liked to go to that. None of this is included in the school's offer, you have to pay extra for it."

"At the same time, private lessons also have disadvantages. It is very demanding and I would have preferred to have classmates to practise with and to do something outside the lessons.
It would be advisable if the teachers would bring the different students into contact with each other, without any obligations.

"2 pieces of constructive feedback: 1) on the first day, outline to the student what you are going to focus on over the whole course (however long it is). This way, it is easier for the student to place what they are learning in a larger context. 2) get a textbook that has instructions in English, at least for the earlier levels. It is very difficult for me to complete the lessons without help from a Greek speaker."

"Very nice people who try to do their best. Crete is has a very raw wonderful beauty that I discovered by renting a motorcycle but watch out Greek drivers have strange habits of forcing you into the shoulder and passing anywhere. Once on the small mountain roads and trails it is wonderful."

"Only 7 students started the same week as me, all with different knowledge of Greek, so it was impossible to make sensible classes of different levels, and we ended up in badly-matched groups. When we arrived on the first day, the school seemed vaguely surprised to see us, although several of us had registered a month in advance. My teacher was a very nice person, but didn't seem to have much experience in teaching Greek to adults, or much time to spare in preparing for each lesson."
