The light in this video may not be perfect, but the light of our student Faiz shines brighter than anything. With the guidance of his teacher, he prepared a touching wedding speech in Greek for his wife, Alkisti—a moment that beautifully shows how language and love can come together.
For Faiz, learning Greek was more than just a language journey—it was an act of love. By choosing to give his wedding speech in Greek, he honored not only his wife but also her culture, her family, and her heritage.
Learn Greek out of love
At our school, we see this story again and again: people from all over the world begin learning Greek not just for travel or work, but out of love. Love for a partner, love for family, or love for Greece itself.
Many of our students have joined because they want to:
- Surprise their Greek partner with a wedding speech in Greek
- Connect more deeply with their spouse’s family and traditions
- Raise their children in a bilingual home filled with both languages and cultures
For us, these are the most inspiring reasons to learn Greek. Watching students like Faiz prepare a heartfelt wedding speech reminds us that language is more than words—it’s about creating bonds, honoring traditions, and expressing the deepest emotions.
To Faiz and Alkisti, we send our warmest wishes for a life full of love, joy, and good luck. May this beautiful moment inspire others to embrace Greek—not just as a language, but as a way to celebrate life’s most important milestones.`
