Description

This course is a complete guide for beginners/intermediate and advanced students who want to practice the language. If your goal is to settle in Greece, this is the ideal guide. It provides you with grammatical and vocabulary rules and gives you the freedom to make up your own phrases.

The course has a big variety of grammatical rules. All these rules of course cannot be memorised without practise.

It serves as a guide to lead you in forming your own arguments, ideas, etc. For a deeper understanding, it can be repeated on a regular basis. The tables will also help you to go back and pick up the verb you want. The dialogues will help use either ready phrases or just essential words to convey the necessary message.

Along with studying this course, try to apply all these useful phrases in your everyday life. And a last tip! Take regular breaks and try to see the course as a puzzle, holistically. Since it is separated in sections, try to combine verbs with nouns, adverbs etc.
