One-to-one General/Business

Greek Course in Manchester

It doesn't matter if you want to learn Greek for business or pleasure - our customised language courses will help you get where you want to be.

A General course in Greek will grant you 'Survival Greek' - enough under your belt to furnish you with a working knowledge for the purpose of visiting the country, allowing you to introduce yourself and engage in conversation with native speakers. Business courses will centre more on formal, business communication, and focus more on reading and writing skills as you advance further.


Our Greek courses would not be fixed to a specific curriculum, however. You know the specifics of what you will need from your new language, and all you need do is tell your teacher. Perhaps if you are taking a Business course, you may want to focus more on Greek telephone or email skills, or a specific vocabulary for your line of work. In the same vein, the syllabus for General courses is not set in stone - all you need do is ask your teacher.


We arrange Business courses for many clients; primarily those working in international trade, overseas governments and universities, and employees of multinational firms who require a second language. General courses in Greek suit those hoping to emigrate to foreign shores, people with a view to travel to countries where Greek is the vernacular tongue, those with a keen interest in Greek culture and language, and people with foreign spouses.

City information


The third biggest city in the UK, Manchester was a vital city during Britain's industrial era, laying claim to being the world's very first industrialised city. With around 2.3 million people in the urban area alone, Manchester continues to be regarded as Britain's second city.

As with most big cities around the country, Manchester's size attracts plenty of overseas visitors, many of whom choose to settle there. This has created a massive cultural variety in the entire borough of Greater Manchester, but particularly in the inner-city areas where there is a high proportion of south Asian, Caribbean, African and Chinese communities. This cosmopolitan experience means the city is a great place to meet people from different backgrounds, and assures you plenty of potential practice partners when you start learning your new language!

Language information


Modern Greek is the 5th stage of the evolution of the Hellenic language, and is spoken mainly in Greece and Cyprus; though there are Greek-speaking communities dotted all around the world, making approximately 17 million speakers worldwide.

The most obvious difference between Greek and English is the Greek alphabet, which may look a little scary at first, but actually shares a great many similarities with the standard Roman alphabet. In many ways Modern Greek is a watered-down version of its ancient counterpart, leaving behind many grammatical features, yet few enough for most students of Ancient Greek to pick up Modern Greek relatively quickly.
