Research-backed learning guide
The planned Greek curriculum
A transparent Modern Greek path from first interactions through A2 integration needs, B1 citizenship-related language and advanced study.
A Modern Greek curriculum should connect script, pronunciation, grammar and real tasks at every stage. CEFR labels describe assessed ability; completing screens does not itself create an official level.
Greek levels at a glance
A1–A2: make daily Greek usable
Work covers identity, housing, food, transport, healthcare, employment and services. Grammar enters through tasks: articles, core cases, present and past, να clauses, aspect introductions, questions and negation.
B1–B2: become independent
Learners narrate, explain opinions, follow workplace communication and participate in community life. They consolidate aspect, pronouns, clause structure, register and broader listening.
C1–C2: develop precision and range
Advanced work develops academic and professional genres, argument, idiom, literature and sociolinguistic judgement with sustained assessment across skills.
Certificates and honest claims
The Centre for the Greek Language administers the Certificate of Attainment from A1 to C2. Greece also uses a specific A2 language/history pathway for eligible long-term residents and the PEGP naturalisation examination with B1-equivalent Greek plus knowledge sections. Only current official guidance determines an application.
Questions learners ask
Frequently asked questions
Does completing an app prove A2 or B1 Greek?
No. Authorities require accepted evidence or an applicable official examination.
Is every Greek A2 examination interchangeable?
No. General, professional-purpose and long-term-resident routes can differ; verify the exact requirement.
Can this path prepare for university study?
Advanced abilities overlap, but universities set their own language and admissions evidence.
