Levels of lessons

[bktheirregular]

And in other news, now that my presence in Greece is relatively safe and solid, I can now take the time to take classes to improve my language skills in the native tongue. The only problem is, I don't know which level of course to take - if I take a level that's too low, it's a waste of time and money for being taught stuff I already know, while if I take a level that's too high, I end up spending time and money to be completely confuzzled.

I *think* I'm at an intermediate level; I can sort of survive in casual conversation, but my vocabulary's got more holes in it than a block of Swiss cheese.

Ah, well. Maybe the best solution is to walk in the door and ask.

Isn't there some kind of placement/proficiency test you could take at the institution where you'd take the classes (or elsewhere) that would evaluate your language level?

this is all excellent news - the safety and solidity of your presence, the taking of classes. I've been HUGELY busy and haven't responded much but I have been keeping up nonetheless.

I love language classes! I'm going back to my own Italian lessons this summer

based upon what I saw at the spetses programme, I'd say you'd be in level 2 or 3; they could hold their own in general conversation but then would get stuck on anything more complex.
