Student opinions about Hellenic Language School Alexander the Great, Chania (Crete)

Liked
I liked how friendly and accommodating Effi and Eleni (apologies for misspellings) were. I liked Eleni's style of teaching - friendly yet focused. I like that this school exists! I really appreciated Effi's trip that she arranged to the Museum of Typology and how personable she was.
Insider tips about what future students should not miss It's not necessary to book private lessons. Even if there are not other students, you can still book the class lessons and they will accommodate to you. It's cheaper.

Other comments 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.

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.
Disliked
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!

Because of the health situation, I found myself the only student the second week and even if the private lesson went very well I regretted not being in contact with other students. In addition there was no activity and the proposals on the site had played in my choice for this school.

The teachers are great. Learning a language with native speakers is simply more fun and makes more sense. Lots of little language tips from everyday life, intonation that you just can't find in books.

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. Fortunately, I did meet a fellow student, but that was entirely my own initiative.
