Moreover, the courses use additional materials selected, compiled, and/or created by the instructors of Cosmopolis, and lots of fun and engaging activities and games that make learning an absolute pleasure. Moreover, all courses include references to the Greek-Cypriot dialect and, wherever relevant, highlight the differences between standard Greek and the local variety in order to maximise the learning experience of the participants.
