Ikarian Centre

Learn Greek

Since 1995 we have offered Greek courses for all levels in a mountainous location, in Ikaria. Many interpreters and translators, diplomats, classicists, university students and teachers have participated in our courses. However, the atmosphere in the lessons is very friendly. Students learn through a multitude of language games and activities.

Volunteering

We also worry about the rise of intolerance and fanaticism. For this reason we have established “Dialogos”, a non-profit organization that promotes small-scale projects and actions based on volunteering.

We are a Greek language school for non-native speakers, based on the Greek island of Ikaria. We also organize educational activities, cultural trips and volunteering projects, focusing on learning, cultural exchange and solidarity. Α complex of rooms next to our headquarters in Ikaria, that usually hosts our students, is open to anyone who wants to spend some relaxing days in a peaceful environment, away from crowed beaches and noisy settlements.

Learn Greek in Greece, on the island of Ikaria

Are you planning to study Greek in Greece? Here, at the Ikarian Center we have organized Greek language courses on the island of Ikaria non-stop for the last 25 years! The courses take place from Easter to November every year. In our courses you’ll find:

– Small class size: Our classes are even smaller, from 1 to maximum 4 students per class. Therefore, our classes are also very homogeneous. Homogenous and very small classes make the lessons more intensive and efficient.

– Flexible duration: Students may register in an 11 day course, in several 11 day courses in a row, in a 17 day course, or in a long term course (30+ days). In each course we give lessons for 120 min/day. This is equal to 2 hours or 2,66 teaching hours per day. (Language schools in Europe calculate the duration of their courses in teaching hours. One teaching hour is equal to 45 minutes.)

– Efficiency: Small and homogeneous classes are helping us to adjust the curriculum according to the students’ needs, and not the opposite. Students have more time to talk and practice in the class. Also, 2 hours tuition per day gives to the students enough time to do their homework and rest. Thus, students attending 2 normal hours / day in our classes have a faster progress than students attending a pre-fixed curriculum, for “4 hours of 45 min” per day, in a class with 5 or 6 more students of different levels.

Joan Vazquez’ experience

Una bellissima esperienza in un posto magico. Due settimane di corso intensivo con Mihali a Ikaria valgono come un anno di lezioni private ma, in più, in una cornice straordinaria come quella di un paesino sperduto nella natura in un’isola
