Greeky - Modern Greek Language Lessons

~oath of secrecy~
Do you want to know the first oath of secrecy we take in Greeky ?
“What happens within the walls of Greeky, stays there!”
And do you want to know why we do so?
For no reason other than that so many great stories have actually began in a classroom. And in all the more than 15 years that I have been teaching , I have been blessed to be either a witness or even an initiator of all kinds of “stories”. How else? I’ ve had students from all around the world, each one bearing their unique story!

🧐Hold your breath and find out more about our students in our upcoming post!

~greeky lessons~
As a linguist and philologist, my intention is to guide you not only through the pure linguistic elements of the Greek language, but also through the historical facts, the everyday life and their interconnections.
Everyone who joins 'greeky lessons' will learn the Greek language, grammar, syntax and accent, and at the same time we will unfold together the thread of Greek history and modern culture _ or in other words, you will learn how to speak and sound like a real Greek.

~ψαροκόκκαλό~
A few days ago, we promised to reveal the story behind Greeky's logo. Here's the full story of it.
The wooden flooring is nothing contemporary; it made its way into flooring design in the 16th Century and became popular with French nobility.
However, the very specific wooden background of Greeky’s logo is called a herringbone or fishbone pattern [ψαροκόκκαλο (psarokόkalo)] and it’s a knot that beautifully blends language and Athenian interior architecture! The herringbone (ψαροκόκκαλο) floor was the hallmark of - pretty much - every Greek apartment in Athens in the 60s-and 70s. Thus, in the history of modern Greek interior design, this type of floor covering is associated with urbanism.
As an original athenian resident who has been wandering among many apartments of the city's centre, I must confess that Greeky’s logo is actually a collage of some of the floors I have set my foot on, over all these years! And the true desire of this account is exactly this; to shed light on some of the modern Greek signature culture stories and mythologies!
I’ll probably never get over how effortlessly stylish
modern, old Athens can be!
