"It was very enjoyable and also very useful"

Sophia Martin, student from UK

I really enjoyed my course. The teachers were very engaging and easy to understand. I liked that they spoke little English to us when teaching to help us learn, and that there was a mix of learning grammar/speaking and sometimes playing games. Eleni was very helpful in helping me to find the correct class for my ability - I moved around a few classes to begin with to find the right one - this flexibility was very valuable.

Overall very good experience and I hope to return!

"Ideal for improving my level of knowledge of Greek, especially of the spoken language."

Fabrizio D. Raschellà, student from Italy

The organization of the courses is very effective, the teaching staff competent and well trained. Comfortable and bright rooms, with several facilities available (library, coffee machine, snacks and more). Good offer of extra-teaching activities (excursions, guided visits, parties), which nevertheless should be improved and more publicized.

"Totally recommended!!"

L Muller

I was in Athens for some weeks as a solo traveler and I wanted to find a place to learn Greek, but at the same time have a very positive and safe environment. So I decided to visit some schools for receiving a direct feeling. Once I entered the place, I knew it directly. Smiles were everywhere, the positive energy was all over the space. Friendly people, ready to "make you part of their team" as they use to say. I had one of the best months of my life there. Great teaching, and awesome activities based on our interests. We were a big group of friends. I will definitely come back again. I miss you all guys!

"Wonderful experience"

CECILE LAURE LECUIT, student from France

I was very lucky because I was in a group of 2 students with the teacher, everything was great, the welcome, the atmosphere, the little 5 minute breaks every hour, the kindness of the team. I really recommend it and I hope to have the opportunity to go back for more. I only have one regret: I had a holiday that week, which meant I had one less day at school!

"Amazing experience! with great teachers who made learning great fun."

Nigel Cozens, student from UK

I had the most wonderful time at the school. All the staff are amazing! It really made learning Greek so much fun. I had some knowledge of Greek before I arrived, so not really a beginner. The class I was in with Maria P had 5 of us, this made it perfect for me as there was plenty of time to ask questions and discuss things. Everything was done to help make the course work for everyone. I also had a one hour one to one session each day with Maria K, this was wonderful as it gave me time to review individual things that I needed to go over and practice. I’m so grateful to all the team and especially Maria P and Maria K. My only regret was not staying longer, but I will be back for sure. Ευχαριστώ πολύ

"A Wonderful Experience learning with others!"

Joshua Hansen, student from USA

The Lambda Project is organized, methodical, and well put-together. The teachers are friendly and personable and supportive of your goals.

There were weekly activities to sign up for with others, and on breaks we all just kind of talked and got to know each other better. It was smooth and stress-free!

Overall, I don't think I have a single complaint about The Lambda Project. Going to class each day was one of my favorite parts of staying in Athens and I would definitely love to come back and do it again someday.

"Great human experience"

Sidonie Moulart

I took a week only of Greek lessons. It wasn't enough but it was very intense.

I had two different teachers during this week with different personalities but all two very energetic.
The course was oral practice oriented and it was what I wanted.
I appreciated the location of the school and its layout and the warm atmosphere given by the all team.

A few tiny things were disturbing : we had to keep the outside window open and the noise in the street was too strong and it could interfere with my comprehension of the lesson. My classmates had an obvious better lever than me and I had and I had to struggle a lot to understand the oral conversations which were too fast speaking for me. But on the other hand I think it pushed me to challenge myself and I made huge progress in oral comprehension.

I appreciated also the extra-activities (games, music listening in a café..): they are my best memories of my lambda project experience. I am sure it's complicate for the team to organize those activities every week beside the day-work hours but I think it really makes the difference!

Raimund Fridrich

It was a very positive experience. Responsive crew, nice school location and infrastructure and despite Covid all worked perfectly fine. The literature programme which was tailor made was a true privilege. I enjoyed every minute.

"Stayed 4 weeks"

Ko Shiratori, student from Japan

Under the difficult period of summer 2020, the teachers here were doing great job at following rules required by government, etc social distancing, put masks during classes.
The environment here in terms of study is great. Free wifi, coffee, and you can keep on studying at lounge space after class if you'd like.

"Exciting and profitable"

Paolo Grosso

My personal experience ( I am 67 years old) has been a breath of youth. Two weeks of graceful and profitable learning.
My teacher , Helen, young, smart, easy going. She is educated and prepared in Hellenistic culture and not only in the modern Greek language. Four hours everyday of pleasant learning and chatting in Greek.
Location is very comfortable: ten minutes walk from the metro stop.
Tea, coffee, biscuits and slices of cake always available. Which is not a matter of fact!
In two weeks , I am grade A1 , I am happy to feel at home in Greece.

"Lamda is an incredible, warm and experienced team facilitating an immersive cultural and language experience!"

Carla Browne

My lessons are online, are flexible, fun and communicative. I have been learning with Maria and she is an incredible teacher and person.
I feel so much more communicative and she moves gracefully through the grammar content to practical use, as well as building my interests into lots of the lessons.

"Best time ever"

Maria González

I took a 3 weeks of Greek standard intensive immersion course in this school in Athens. It was definitely the best time of my life! It totally deserved my time! Everything was great. Classes, amazing teachers, classmates, school, central location, great neighborhood, friendly and professional staff, free social activities, dancing lessons, excursions, free city walks, bares, restaurantes! Great life for 3 weeks. It was like I was a part of a big family! I am planning to come back again soon during next autumn or winter!

"Quality all the way through - highly recommended"

Heidi Willoch

I spent two week 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 - felt like a home with very good energy. They also arranged trips, guided city tours, Greek dancing lesson, trip 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!!

"Amazing experience !"

Anna Machon

I took a 3 weeks Standard Intenive Modern Greek course and I am planning to go back soon.
Very good facilities, modern and alternative. Great location , at the center of the city, with easy access. Higly qualified and professional teachers with very good and easy to follow teaching materials. I had fun at the classes and they helped me improve my language skills.
The staff and the teachers were very friendly and helpful. There were a lot of social activities, such us Greek dances lesson, Greek moovie screening, City walks or museum visits. We had a great time altogether:students, teachers, staff! At the neighbourghood there are also a lot of coffee places, cute bars and restaurants. At last but not least, there was always a small free buffet waiting for us with coffee, tea, greek snacks and traditional delicasies or even ouzo and raki during the dance lessons!

"Dive into greek culture and learn a fascinating language"

Anne-Sylvie Mousson

I began the course as an absolute beginner in greek language and after two weeks intensive courses, I feel I have made huge progress in writing, speaking and understanding. The classes are given in small groups, the teachers and staff are competent, dynamic, motivating, efficient. It is a real pleasure to follow the classes.
Unfortunately, due to the coronavirus, we had to make class through Skype after 3 days and couldn't go on with the cultural part given in the afternoon, like visiting museums, walking to historical places or interesting sites, so I cannot say much about the activities, but the Lamda Project proposes a lot besides the courses.
The location of both school and accomodation is in the middle of the Exarchaia neigborhood, perfect for students. There is a lot going on on "normal" times and you find all the useful facilities nearby, like shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants. You find yourself at about 10 minutes walking distance from the next metro station and from Omonia. The accomodation provided is comfortable and spacious with all possible facilities and just round the corner to school.
I must say I liked everything about this stay, except the fact that I had to go back home after only two weeks instead of the six I had planned because of the epidemic.
A final thing I'd like to mention is the incredible help and support I got from Magda as I had all my things stealed in the metro and remained without money or any Id documents. She's completely devoted to The Lambda Project and the well-being of her students. The whole staff is, in fact.
I can only recommend the Lambda Project, not only for the quality of the teaching but also as a whole greek experience !
Have fun !

"Outstanding experience"

Anita Schmid

Good concept, highly professional teachers, nice location. I had lessons in modern Greek for 3 weeks at the Lamda Project. As we were a small group of students, the lessons were arranged very individually. The teaching material is absolutely up to date and easy to follow. I made a large profit from the classes. The atmosphere was very welcoming, sympathetic and committed. They also offer a wide range of cultural activities and a well equipped library. There is also always a little buffet provided. Highly recommended!

"Fun and very helpful"

Kenneth Skroumbelos, student from USA

I took a 5 day class during late December and early January. The class was fun and very valuable to my study of the Greek language. The facilities were very good and the teachers very polite. The class were from 10 am to 2 pm and went very fast. I was able to use what I learned immediately in the Athens which was fun. It was nice to be able to follow up my practice with the class the lesson the next day. I plan to take another 5 day class when I return to Greece.

"Great experience"

Alfred Schmid

I am travelling to language schools for several years and the lamda project is definitely one of the best. Highly qualified teachers eager to identify my specific lack of language skills and able to support me, professional and very friendly staff and atmosphere, great location at the center of Athens with easy access. They have a free buffet on a daily basis with coffee and lots of cookies and traditional tsureki. I totally recommend it due to their professionalism and flexibility.

"Excellent teaching, modern classroom and friendly environment for learning"

Emma King

I had Flora as my teacher and she was excellent. I really enjoyed our lessons and I learnt a lot in the 2 weeks I was there. The school has been newly renovated, has a library and good ressources. This is a new school so they didn’t have many students yet. I learnt in September and there was only one other student. Three staff were very friendly and happy to chat so it felt like a sociable environment. There are lots of cool cafes and bars nearby which are nice to study in and it’s 15 minute walk from both Omonoia and Panepistimio (equidistant). I felt it was very good value for the price of the lessons. Would highly recommend!
