If you’re learning Greek or helping your child embrace the language, one of the best things you can do is use Greek in real-life situations. Whether it’s through community events, social outings, or conversations at the deli, exposure to spoken Greek outside the home is essential — especially for children!
Here are some wonderful places on the Central Coast NSW where you can practise Greek, connect with the local Greek-speaking community, and build confidence with the language:

Why It Matters
Language thrives when it’s used. For kids, hearing and speaking Greek regularly — at church, the shops, or with friends — builds fluency and confidence in a natural way. The more touchpoints they have with the language, the stronger their connection becomes
