Learn Greek for real.

Clear, structured Modern Greek instruction for adults who want to speak with confidence and experience Greece from the inside.

💡 THE SOLUTION

There is a better way.
I know, because I found it.

I didn't start learning Greek until I was 18, and now people mistake me for native.
I’m a published translator, professor, and fluent speaker of the language.

After I’d acquired the language for myself, I began to focus on helping others.
Adults learn differently than children—at The Greek Academy, we make that our strength.

Welcome to real learning.

🤔 Problem

Spinning your wheels?

It's not your fault.

The language learning industry drowns you in a sea of tools, but doesn’t teach you to swim. Apps engage you, and videos feel productive. Without a deliberate method, though, you end up with random gaps, unclear grammar, and waiting for confidence that never comes.

You don't need a program. another tool. You need a method.

Not another way to waste your time—something structured, serious, and effective.

Already have some Greek but feel stuck? You’re in the right place. Deeper Greek was built for exactly where you are.

What students say

  • "I participated in the first cohort offered by Michael. It was a nice small group of people and a very safe, encouraging environment to practice Greek. Michael is an excellent teacher and has a ton of knowledge of Modern Greek, Ancient Greek, as well as Greek culture and history that enriched my experience greatly. He explains things in a simple way that is easy to understand and retain. I highly recommend doing one of Michael's cohorts. I also look forward to future excursion classes!"

  • "I really enjoyed the course, and found it incredibly effective. It was very well-structured, building up step by step and covering all the key grammar and practical vocabulary needed for everyday situations. What I appreciated most was that every class included speaking practice, with immediate helpful feedback from Michael. This made a big difference in building confidence and improving quickly. Michael created a very supportive and encouraging atmosphere and was always responsive to the needs of the group, adjusting the lessons based on our feedback. The textbook complemented the course really well and supported the overall learning process. I would definitely recommend courses with Michael to anyone looking for a well-organized and engaging way to make real progress in Greek."

🧔🏻‍♂️ ABOUT MICHAEL

You can do it, too!

I started learning Greek at 18, longing to connect with my family. I kept going because something unexpected was happening. I was making friends in the language, finding authors I loved, and opening a whole world that felt new but familiar. Greek was showing me parts of myself that I hadn't been able to express before.

The truth is that I went further with Greek than I ever thought I would, and I haven’t really stopped.

I teach Greek because I know in my bones that you can actually become fluent. When I meet someone who desires fluency but doesn’t believe that they can achieve it, I want nothing more than to help them prove themselves wrong.

✍ TESTIMONIAL

Student Spotlight: 
Meet Charles

“As a second-generation Greek American who did not grow up speaking the language, learning Greek later in life always felt intimidating. The fact that Michael shared a similar experience to my own was also a tremendous advantage in my own journey. Now over a year in, I remain surprised and impressed with my progress in both spoken and written Greek and recommend The Greek Academy to anyone looking to reconnect with their heritage or who simply want to learn a new language!”
