"Anthony's class helped me appreciate the grammar and rules that weren't even mentioned in apps and online courses that are everywhere today.

The course is great value and a must if you want any Greek experience beyond that of your average tourist!"

Dr. David Smith

"I have a Greek wife and needed to search out someone to teach me how to speak Greek properly before we both retire to Greece. After 10 months, my Greek vocabulary and knowledge of speaking, reading, and writing has increased tremendously."

“When I started taking Dr. Xidis' Greek classes I knew next to nothing. Now most people I meet assume that I have been speaking Greek since childhood but I didn't learn any growing up. I made many friends in the class and even met my wife through his class!”

"I began this program with zero knowledge of the Greek language, and my expectations for what I thought I would accomplish were far exceeded. Within just a few months, I could read, write, and speak in full sentences."
