Great experience! Outstanding school!

I had the pleasure of attending a 2-week course in this incredible language school in Athens, and I can't recommend it enough! From the very first day, I was impressed by the welcoming and professional atmosphere. The teachers are not only highly knowledgeable but also passionate about helping students. They tailor lessons to individual needs and ensure that every student feels supported and encouraged throughout their learning journey.

The curriculum is well-structured, engaging, and challenging, while still being fun. It combines practical language skills with cultural insights, making the whole experience more enriching. The school's location in Athens - Exarcheia is also fantastic—right in the heart of the city, with easy access to public transportation and a vibrant atmosphere: bars, coffee places, restaurants, taverns, bakeries! Everything!

What truly sets this school apart is its sense of community. I met people from all over the world, and it felt like more than just a language school—it was a place to build connections, make new friends. Even if I were in Athens alone, I met so many other people and we all made arrangements together like short weekend trips, dinners, drinks, museums, a visit to the Parthenon and many more!

I left the school feeling more confident in my language skills and with a deeper appreciation for the culture. I also learned a lot of slang words, think that I believe is important, while learning a language! I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend it to anyone looking to learn a new language in a beautiful and welcoming setting.

I spent six weeks at the Lamda Project and learned more than I ever expected. The teachers and staff are welcoming, respectful, dynamic, and incredibly knowledgeable, as well as eager to support. The interactive and engaging classes made learning enjoyable, never feeling like a typical lecture. Every session was fun and inspiring. Additionally, the cultural activities and the school's central location are a plus! It was an amazing experience, and I highly recommend it! I will definitely come back in the near future!

Lamda Project

Excellent tuition and support. I loved the atmosphere, the interactive and fun teaching techniques, the support from the staff and the interaction with fellow students both during and outside lessons. The Lamda Project is located in a vibrant area of Athens with excellent access to the centre and hood options for eating and accommodation. I would recommend this project for anyone seeking to learn Greek in a supportive environment. They were flexible, helped me to find a level where I felt comfortable and able to improve my speaking skills in particular.

Pros
  • Great tuition
  • Great location
  • Fun atmosphere

Superb school!

I have been at Lamda in September/23 (2 weeks - Intensive).

The teachers (I had 2, both energetic,funny, patient and well prepared - I miss them!) and staff were very friendly, efficient and helpful, and the environment and atmosphere were perfect, as well.

Some foffe shops, bar and tavernas around the school.

Usually there were some extra activities, what it is a very interesting plus.

My personal experience was very positive and I can say that enjoyed every minute.

I vividly recommend this school! (and intend to return asap)

I must return to Greece just to attend class here once again!

Outstanding experience at this school. The teachers are sensitive to adult learners and obviously educated in the latest pedagogy for language acquistion. I felt like a valued member of the community of learners each week of the two weeks I attended. The school is also a terrific resource for travelers to Greece. As part of learning about the culture in Greece, I received a few great suggestions on reasonable places to eat, shop, and sightsee in Athens along with helpful information about the transit system in the city.
I must return to Greece just to attend class here once again!

What is your favorite travel memory?

In 2017 I traveled to Italy. I was a student from the University of Athens participating in the Erasmus program at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice. For six months I was living inside a fairytale called Venice. Beautiful landscapes, small boats sailing in the canals, and me walking through every single alley of the city. I enjoyed a lot, my classes, at the university, but even more, I enjoyed partying in Venice with my fellow students.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I have met people from all around the world and they have shared with me their incredible stories. Every single one of them has a different background and a unique reason for wanting to learn Greek. Meeting all these people has changed me a lot. Also, I have gained a lot of experience so I can teach my students in accordance with their learning style and their goals.

What is the best story you've heard from a return student?

A student of mine started learning Greek because of love. She fell in love with a Greek guy and she decided to start learning Greek. She wanted to speak Greek so she can understand him better and express her love to him in Greek. And her plan was successful. The guy was impressed by her progress and fell in love with her as well. Today they live together in Greece as a couple.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I would definitely go for the Standard Intensive Greek Language Course. I imagine myself as someone who does not know Greek at all. I am sure I would be amazed by the progress I would have made during this class. Also, all the fun activities and games in Greek would match my learning style and I am sure that they would help me learn and have fun at the same time. So, for sure, Standard Intensive Greek Language Course.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

What makes The λamda Project unique is that we present to students the absolute reality about Greece. Of course, we admire ancient Greece and we present it to students but where we put our focus is on modern Greece and modern Greek culture. Every time that my team and I are sharing true stories about Greece with our students, I feel so proud.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

What makes The λamda Project unique is the people in it. Everyone is a unique person and feels free to show his authentic character among the others. As a result, a strong and valuable team is formed and everything works perfectly. Also, students that are coming to the λamda Project feel this team spirit and are becoming members of this team. So the team is expanding and is becoming what we love to call The big λamda family.
