FAQ

This program is for you if you’ve already learned some Greek, but you want to become more comfortable actually using it in conversation. 

You’ll continue building your vocabulary, grammar and understanding of the language, while also learning how to retrieve what you know, respond in the moment, express yourself and navigate real conversations.

You’ll practise with Alexa and with different members of the community, so you can get used to conversations that don’t always follow a script — because real conversations don’t either.

Our goal is simple: to help you make Greek part of your life by actually using it. 🗣️

Most language learning focuses on what you know: vocabulary, grammar, phrases and comprehension. 

We work on something equally important: what happens when you actually have to use that knowledge in a conversation.

You’ll still learn new vocabulary and structures, but you’ll also train yourself to retrieve them, respond in the moment, react to other people and keep going when the conversation takes an unexpected turn.

That’s why speaking isn’t something we leave for “when you’re ready.” It’s something we practise from the beginning.

Because speaking Greek is a skill. And skills are built through practice.

Yes! 🗣️ Live workshops with me are a central part of the program. 

In the Core Community, you’ll have 2 live workshops every week, designed for different speaking levels. You can attend the workshop that best matches your level — or both.

If you choose the VIP Small-Group Experience, you’ll have 1 dedicated 80-minute workshop with me every week in your group of just 6 participants.

During our workshops, we’ll build your Greek and put it into practice through guided speaking activities, interaction and real conversation, with feedback and corrections along the way.

The most important thing is simple: participate and use your Greek. 🗣️ 

You don’t need to attend every meeting or spend hours studying every week. But the more actively you use the opportunities inside the program, the more you’ll get from the experience.

1. Join the live workshops – Come ready to participate, speak, experiment and put what you’re learning into practice.
2. Use the weekly input – It’s only 5 minutes, but it will help you prepare for and get more out of that week’s speaking practice.
3. Take advantage of the Free Chit Chats – Use them as extra opportunities to speak with different people and become more comfortable with spontaneous conversation.
4. Allow yourself to make mistakes – Don’t wait until you can say something perfectly. Try, adjust, and keep the conversation moving.
5. Stay connected with Greek between meetings – Even small moments of listening, speaking, reading or interacting with the community can help make Greek a more natural part of your life.

You don’t need to do everything. But you do need to participate. The program gives you the structure, guidance and opportunities to practise — what you do with those opportunities matters too.

Don’t worry! All live workshops with Alexa will be recorded, so you can watch the replay at a time that works for you. 

Whenever possible, we encourage you to join live, as this gives you the opportunity to participate, practise speaking, ask questions and receive feedback in real time.

The Free Chit Chats are not recorded, as they are designed purely for live conversation practice. 🗣️

The program is designed for learners from A1+ to B2 who already have some knowledge of Greek and are ready to start using it more actively. 

You don’t need to speak fluently or know everything before you join. You do, however, need a basic foundation in Greek, as this is not a program for complete beginners starting from zero.

The live workshops are designed for different speaking levels, so you’ll work with vocabulary, structures and speaking activities that match where you are now.

If you’re starting Greek completely from zero, this program isn’t the right starting point for you yet. 

You should already be able to read Greek and have some basic vocabulary and understanding of the language before joining.

The program starts from A1+ level, because our focus is not only on learning Greek, but on using what you’re learning to communicate.

Throughout the 10 weeks, you’ll have clear speaking goals that will help you notice how your Greek is developing — from building and retrieving the language you need, to responding more spontaneously and navigating real conversations. 

During the live workshops, you’ll also receive feedback from Alexa, helping you recognise what’s improving and what you can continue working on.

Progress in speaking isn’t only about knowing more words or making fewer mistakes. It’s also about noticing that you can respond more easily, express more of what you want to say, and stay in the conversation when things don’t go exactly as planned. 🗣️

You can post your Greek-learning questions inside our private Parea Community, where they can become part of the learning experience for everyone. 

For technical or account-related questions, you can contact us at [email protected].

For questions related to what we’re working on together, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask Alexa during the live workshops.

No. The two weekly Core workshops are designed for different speaking levels, so you can attend the workshop that best matches your level. 

If you’d like to attend both and the second workshop is appropriate for your level, you’re welcome to do so.

You also don’t need to attend every single meeting to be part of the program. Choose the opportunities that work for you and participate as much as you can.

The Free Chit Chats are additional conversation practice sessions with other members of the community — they are not lessons or workshops with Alexa.

You’ll speak in small breakout groups and practise using your Greek in more spontaneous, learner-to-learner conversations. Moderators will be there to help the groups run smoothly, but the goal is for you to practise communicating without depending on a teacher to lead the conversation.

Think of them as an extra space to use your Greek, meet different people and get more comfortable speaking. 🗣️

Both experiences follow the same speaking-first approach and give you access to the wider community, Free Chit Chats, weekly input, Resource Library and special events. 

In Core, you’ll have access to 2 level-based workshops with Alexa every week and practise with a wider variety of people across the community.

In VIP, you’ll spend your first 10-week cycle in a dedicated group of just 6 people, with 1 private 80-minute group workshop with Alexa every week. The smaller setting gives everyone plenty of space to speak, repeat, experiment, ask questions and receive personalised feedback and corrections.

They’re simply two different ways to experience your first cycle, depending on the environment you’d prefer.

Yes. ⭐ VIP is designed specifically as a one-cycle experience for new members who would prefer to begin in a dedicated group of just 6 people. 

However, being new to the community doesn’t mean you have to choose VIP. You can absolutely join Core directly if that experience suits you better.

After completing your VIP cycle, you can continue in the Core Community if you’d like to join us for another round.

You’ll have full access to the program materials throughout the 10-week program. 

After the program ends, you’ll keep access to the workshop recordings, weekly inputs and Grammar & Vocabulary Resource Library for an additional 2 weeks, giving you some extra time to catch up or revisit anything you’d like to review.

After that, your access to the program materials will end.

This is a 10-week program, not an ongoing subscription. 

At the end of the cycle, the live program comes to an end. If you’d like to continue practising and developing your Greek, you’ll have the opportunity to join the next Core cycle, subject to availability.

If you joined through VIP, your VIP experience ends after your first cycle and you can continue in the Core Community.

Each cycle is a complete experience in itself, with no obligation to continue.
