(I had) a great teacher, and thanks to him and his methods, I understood that ancient Greek grammar wasn’t so difficult to learn. He explained with great clarity. … I’m always amazed by OL teachers’ proficiency. They’re also very patient and encouraging. — Maeva Chardon, Ancient Greek Summer School (online), August 2021.
(I had) a patient and very helpful teacher. The course was perfect for me. I found every day’s class challenging yet not overwhelming. The reading material provided was interesting and very useful. — Student at Greek Summer School (online), August 2021.
During these five days I learnt Greek better than after almost a year of studying tables. Discussing food and philosophy, singing Greek songs, talking about the Parthenon on a walk in Athens we used Ancient Greek as an instrument to immerse ourselves … I’m not saying that tables are bad or useless — it would have been impossible to start talking if I hadn’t learnt any tables. But if the only thing you study is tables you learn a lifeless, frozen language that will never come alive for you … Almost every day we studied some grammar. … These five days were some of the most useful and interesting in my life! — Student at ‘Active Attic in Greece’ course (residential), August 2021.
