Immersion Course in Greece
Looking forward to our 2022 Immersion Course in Greece.
Despite the fact that restrictions in Greece have been lifted for the time being prompted by the opening of the touristic season, we have reached the difficult decision to cancel our Immersion Course for 2021. With everybody’s best interest at heart and wanting to keep everyone safe, we have decided that there are just too many risks right now that render it impossible for us to hold our Immersion Course as usual.
We have every reason to be optimistic that the fight against Covid-19 is coming to an end and we will all be able to meet next year in our 2022 Immersion Course for the most memorable Greek summer of our lives.
Program Overview
This is an intensive 12-day program for adults of all levels! You will improve your Greek language skills through stimulating morning classes, practise speaking Greek on a daily basis, interact with locals, overcome your fear of speaking Greek, see the beauty of Greece, get involved in cultural activities, enjoy beautiful beaches, swim in crystal clear water and have a lovely and relaxing holiday!
