Alexandria Institute

I think it's a good place to learn. And there was the opportunity to get to know very educated people. I wish those days hadn't ended there. I met new fellowships from different countries Thank you for everything they gave us. My greetings to you

Since the first summer study trip in Greece I've appreciated how the school is well organized and how well prepared, professional and kind Andreas and all the ather teachers are. It's not easy to begin studyng a new language when you are 60, especially a language like Greek!! Andreas knows how to captivate us and how to help us to go through our difficulties. Whenever he realizes we are tired he cheers us up by telling a joke where we can learn new wordsor idioms; some times he takes us for a walk in the village, were we can chat with the inhabitants. He supports us in using what we have learned every day in class during our time outside. It is indeed a great and exciting experience. The hospitality and kindness of Greeks are indeed a great help for feeling involved and willing to partecipate more and more in the evryday life of the village. We spent some afternoons visiting archeological sites or museums, and even there Andreas is great as teaching and sharing the passione and love he has for his country and Greak history. All Greek courses give you the opportunity to meet students from other countries, which is not only a great chance to practice Greek, but also to interact with different cultures. I feel so grateful to Andreas and all the other teachers I've met during these yars! Furthemore online classes are a great opportunity to keep learning and practicing during winter time or a lockdown, in order to not forget what we have learned during the summer in Greece or winter courses in Athens, fantastic!!!

For the last few summers I followed a literature and culture course at Chios where I had a wonderful time. The lessons are very interesting and inspiring. We were reading and talking about famous poems, books, songs and the background of the authors and of the period they lived or they live. After the lessons we made some (optional) excursions to see other areas of the island and some historical spots. All of this in a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. The teachers are very friendly and helpful with everything during and after the lessons.
