Student reviews about "Modern Greek Full Intensive" at The Lamda Project
Siegfried
"Exhausting, but very efficient. I admire the patience of the charming teachers."
Justin
"Tiring but totally manageable. "
Michèle
"I really enjoyed the linguistic explanations presented during the class."
Heidi
"I spent two weeks at The λamda Project doing a 30 hours/week intensive course in modern Greek. The programs are very flexible and adaptable to individual skills and needs. The teachers are highly educated people with very good pedagogical skills - who teaches with great enthusiasm and energy.
The provided working book is tailored for everyday situations at different levels, facilitates interaction, and gives a systematic and gradual approach to grammar - perfect for the small size class model.
Private/ individual sessions were also very good and professional.
Very modern and suitable facilities with bakeries and many charming restaurants in pedestrian streets close by.
The staff are very service minded, friendly and including people - it felt like a home with very good energy. They also arranged trips, guided city tours, Greek dancing lesson, trips to museum.
I made good progress during the stay, and plan to come back for another session later.
It is quality all the way through - I highly recommend this place for learning Greek in Athens!!

“A very good mix of classes, updated weekly. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere. During my three weeks there, there were between 15 and 25 students in total each week, which I really liked. I would book this school again!”
“I’d imagined the afternoon activities would be different: I thought we’d be out and about outside school more often, visiting places and experiencing things. There were ‘only’ the walking tours on Mondays and the visit to the pub on Wednesdays outside school. Perhaps this could be described in more detail. The ‘certificate presentation’ was very low-key; you were simply given an envelope. I’d like it if this were celebrated a bit (perhaps it depends on the teacher?), as it is, after all, a special occasion!”
Quality of teaching / language progress: Good, I've made great progress.

“I liked that it was a young team, everyone was very friendly and flexible. That means that when questions about content arose (related to culture, politics, traditions in Greece), they gave us space to talk about them. In general, they encouraged us to speak without constantly correcting us, which I found very encouraging. They also often used creative (language) games, which made the whole thing much more relaxed! That was great!!”
“The organisation on site was a bit chaotic in terms of extra language lessons for me and a fellow student, but that was eventually sorted out. In other words, the school is flexible in the end. The weekly rhythm, where you can ‘join in’, means that after a week the course is composed differently and there was/is a change of teacher, which I didn't like very much. The extra lessons were also often taught by other teachers, who unfortunately often started ‘from scratch’ (three times: why do you want to learn Greek... etc.). Lamda Project is not as school-like as ‘Alexander The Great’, which is good, but not as well-structured. You have to know what you want and express it, then everything goes smoothly!”
Insider tip: “I thought the activities on site, films, dancing, games, were quite good and especially relaxing before the extra hour that followed!”
Quality of teaching / language progress: The level was different in the course, but we all did well together! (Additional lessons were in pairs, which was ok!)
Other comments: It seems to me to be a very young, good team that teaches absolutely up-to-date.

“Lamda has a great approach to teaching a foreign language. I have taken many language classes before, but nowhere have I felt as comfortable in this foreign setting as I did at Lamda. The course did not feel rushed yet at the same time we were learning a lot. They made us 'feel' the language before diving deeper into its intricacies.”
“The school is far from the metro, but Exarcheia (the neighbourhood it is in) is a unique and nice place to pass through.”

“I felt very welcome by the whole team right from the start. We had a great teacher who taught us a lot in a short space of time. At no time was it too demanding, he always took us along with him. We had a lot of fun in the lessons, they were very lively and not only taught us the language but also things about the country and its people. I can recommend Lambda without reservation and will definitely come back again. I would have liked to stay longer.”

“Very nice teachers. Entertaining lessons that always went by far too quickly. Nice welcome pack with book, exercise book, pen, carrier bag and water bottle. It's great that the standard course, including the leisure activities, already counts as educational leave ("Bildungsurlaub").”
“It was a pity that the leisure activities were often cancelled due to low participation, but the school can't help that.”

“Unfortunately, the activities are fun, but firstly all the students, even those with more experience, take part, which is why you can't join in as a beginner and there's no point in taking part. Secondly, I would have liked to go on excursions with the teachers. There are none at all.”

“My week at Lamda was amazing. The staff were all very enthusiastic and incredibly helpful. Everything exceeded my expectations. I wish I could have stayed more than a week and I hope to return again. It was a great experience from start to finish. I felt very welcomed and supported. I was taught in a class of four (including me) in the mornings for four hours and on my own in the afternoons for two hours. In between I attend fun activities open to all students. I cannot recommend this course more highly. If you are learning Greek, I would suggest going to the theatre in Athens in the evenings. It was inexpensive and a great way to get another two hours of Greek a day. I went to six plays in Greek. By the end of the week I was totally exhausted but in a very positive way.”

Weekly activities schedule:
- Monday: conversational skills.
- Tuesday: cultural workshop.
- Wednesday: Tandem language exchange at a bar.
- Thursday: Greek short film and conversation.
- Friday: Board games.
All the activities are: free of charge, held by the school staff, and are in Greek.¡ (Apart from Tandem-Language exchange at a bar, on which anyone pays for his/her own drink.) The activities take place every day at 14.10 (apart from Wednesday's activity which is held at 20.00).
Note: Activity times might possibly change during high season and/or a week with a bank holiday (as the time schedule of the course will adjust for the substitution of the lost day's lessons).

In terms of study materials, do we need to bring anything with us? I am thinking of a dictionary and/or laptop.
“Students do not need to bring office supplies as we provide a bag, notepad and pen. We have dictionaries in our library in case they need them. As for the laptop, of course they can bring it if they prefer to have it with them to take notes there. But they don't need it. ”

FAQ about The Lamda Project, Athens
I would like to know whether the courses are taught in English and Greek, or if there are courses in French and Greek.
“In Greek classes at The Lamda Project, English is sometimes used at beginner level (A0–A1) for basic instructions, but is then phased out in favour of total immersion at higher levels. Although the lessons are not in French, the teachers draw on the common roots between Greek and French to assist French speakers, with whom the school has never encountered any problems. If you do not speak any English at all, please let us know so that we can inform the school in advance.”
Madly Simba, Language Travel Consultant from LanguageCourse.Net - May 19, 2026
Does The Lamda Project make up for any classes lost during a bank holiday?

With this course option, you can look forward to four group lessons per day, in which you’ll cover a diverse range of Greek language skills, with the largest time being devoted to grammar and dynamic conversation activities. As you would expect from a general language class, you will also explore correct pronunciation, vocabulary, and communication skills across a range of role-play situations.
