How to Learn Greek in Greece

Greek, the ancient language that has been in use since about 2000 BC, is alive among the inhabitants of the island nation. Although there may be as many dialects as their are islands in this Mediterranean nation, Modern Greek is spoken by some 15 million people around the world. It's the official language of Greece and is spoken by almost 100 percent of the population. There can be no better place to learn Greek than among the Greek people themselves.
