Greek Level 4

Greek Level 4

Course Description

Level 4 Classes: This course suits people who have recently completed Level 3 or have acquired a level of language which means they can, for example, communicate simply about themselves , talk and write about what they do every day, and what they used to do, and can compare options (see level 3 key communicative and grammatical points for more detail). In this class, you will develop your confidence to be able to tackle more situations when abroad or speaking to a Greek person.  

In Level 4 we work at the A2 level of the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages)*. 

Autumn Term duration 10 x weekly 2-hour classes, Tuesday evenings, 6:15pm to 8:15pm

• Making plans while staying with a Greek host (look for activities, sightseeing, entertainment, book tickets etc). 

• Going on a road trip (interacting at the petrol station, fuel, simple maintenance) 

• Describing weather conditions

• • Future simple tense: e.g. Θα φάμε γεμιστά αύριο; (Will we eat stuffed veggies tomorrow?) 

  • Past simple tense: e.g. Χθες πήγα στην τράπεζα στις 9 το πρωί (Yesterday, I went to the bank at 9 in the morning) 

  • Simple imperative mode: e.g. Μην έρθεις πριν τις 5 το απόγευμα (Don't come before 5 in the afternoon) 

  • Simple relative pronouns: e.g. Η Ελένη, που μένει στον πρώτο, είναι γιατρός (Helen, who lives in the first floor, is a doctor) 

  • Subordinate adverb clause (syntax): e.g. Θέλω να πάω στον οδοντίατρο γιατί έχω πονόδοντο (I want to go to the dentist because I have a toothache) 

CEFR levels indicated on our level descriptors are not a guarantee that you can take the associated Greek exam for this level. If you would like to take an external Greek exam, please speak to your tutor to discuss what they think would be most appropriate.
