Greece has given the world many great things including art, literature, philosophy and democracy.
Darwin teacher Agnes Charalambous wants to pass on her love of the Greek language through night school classes. She is running an eight week Greek language course for beginners at Casuarina Senior College.
“Greek is not a hard language to learn once you have picked up the basics,” she said.
Not all of her students are expected to be Greek-Australians.
“Lots of Territorians want to learn Greek because they want to study in Greece or just go on holiday,” Charalambous added.
There is a renewed emphasis on language at night classes this coming term. Several new beginners classes have been added to the curriculum including: Arabic, Tetum, Tagalog, Korean, Portuguese and Hindi. The popular studied languages: Chinese, Spanish, Indonesian, Italian, German and Japanese are still being taught.
The next term starts on Monday. For more information on evening classes, call 8920 1200, visit www.adultnightclasses.com.au or email csc.nightclasses@ntschools.net
