Hello

Hi everyone, my name is Barbara Gerakis. I am a certified TEFL English teacher and I teach Greek Courses here at the Seinjoen kansalaisopisto since 2012. I am of Greek Finn origin, billingual in Greek and English, with a fair knowledge of Suomea. Born in Athens, raised in America, Greece and Finland.

In this course, I will use both Finnish and English, please understand that the Greek language is constructed in a way that alot of the grammatical notions and words are easier understood, if you have basic understanding of English. There are alot of Greek words that have no exact finnish translation, and other words or phrases that lose their meaning in the dictionary.

I will try to make the class as constructive as possible, alternating between fun interactive clips and book activities. Your contribution to the class is very important and any questions are highly encouraged.

Hobbies in my spare time

Archaeology, photography and food, travelling and exploring cultures and places

Music: I play and write, guitar and piano

Studies: I am currently studying pedagogy at the University of Applied Science in Tampere.
