Γεια σας! I was curious if anyone knew if Eppika was good for Greek learners. The app is a book reading app that supposedly adapts the translation to match your estimated vocabulary reading level.

I’m an elementary reader and for the most part I feel like I can follow along and it matches what I know. I’m just curious if there are any red flags I should be on the look out for/ any inaccuracies you can tell and advise not to.

I will say I’ve enjoyed reading the books way more than the gamified education apps. It got weary to hack Duolingo’s algorithm and figure out the right answers without absorbing the words.

Screenshots from the “story of the day”: the ugly duckling

Hi there! I’m Elena

I’m from Greece and I teach Greek online. What I love most is seeing my students go from a simple “γεια σου” to speaking confidently in real conversations. We always combine speaking with just the right amount of grammar, so learning feels natural and makes sense in context.

My lessons are relaxed and interactive — completely tailored to you. Whether you want to chat, understand grammar, or explore everyday Greek life, we make it simple, fun, and practical.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, just drop me a message. I’d love to hear about your goals and help you get started with Greek. 🙂

Hey guys, I made an app for myself to learn modern greek using the Bible (not original koine greek). It is currently and will always be free. I just ask that you give me feedback on the lessons and user experience so I can use it as a portfolio project and help the most people learn both these things.

It uses multiple story telling techniques to optimise language learning, which I have picked up over the years in order to learn 4 languages! Other features include:

• memory saved across devices
• mobile first UI
• spaced repetition for vocabulary and verb conjugation
• glossary for word lookups
• Mobile device audio for reading text
• weekly greek orthodox liturgical book

Work in Greece

Hi! My name's Ana and I'm from Spain. I've fallen in love with greek language and culture recently. I'm through a lot of changes in my life and thought it would be such an adventure to live and work there. Housing situation here is horrible, reaching the point where a room can cost up to 600€ in a shared flat. Is there any job offers website I can use or a job public agency I can use? Would be great to find any part time job while I finish my degree. Are rented rooms very pricey compared to median wages?

Any advice will be welcome!

Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

This is what the website says and I am just curious if someone were able to elaborate further on the “Greek language question” and if the course would still be efficient?

Hello!

I am a native Greek speaker and a graduate of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), Department of Classics. I have also worked in my apprenticeship in Historical and Palaeographical Archive of the Cultural Foundation of the National Bank of Greece (MIET) as a curator for manuscripts (mainly psalters of the Comnenian era).

I offer online tutoring in Attic Greek, Koine Greek, Homeric Greek and Latin.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some knowledge of the language, I can help with grammar, syntax, translation and reading the original texts.

For Koine Greek, I can help with reading the New Testament and Septuagint in the original.

For Attic and Homeric Greek, we can work directly with the classical authors, depending on your level and interests. The same applies to Latin.

I currently have some availability for November and am looking to take on a few more students.

Lessons are normally two hours, and I offer a free 30-minute introduction first, so that we can discuss your level, what you would like to study, and how I can help you.

Pricing per hour:

1hr per week 40€,

2hrs or more 35€

If you are interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself, your level and what you would like to study.

Thank you!

I wanted to share a Quizlet study set containing six entries about Lambda Chi Alpha's Greek letters, meanings, and traditions.

Below is the complete information included in the flashcards.

1. First Degree

"By the eye that never blinks, by the shadow that has no owner, and by the moon that remembers no name, I bind my silence to the circle. What is buried shall remain buried, and what is whispered shall never see the sun."

2. Second Degree

"When the thirteenth flame burns without fire, and the faceless witness speaks without a tongue, I shall stand among the nameless. Neither bone nor dust, neither time nor death, shall sever the bond we have sworn beneath the unseen light."

3. Third Degree

"Before the serpent with seven shadows, I surrender the name I carried before the dawn. Let the silent bell mark my passage, let the blackened stars bear witness, and let no stranger know the path by which I entered."

4. Lambda Chi Alpha (ΛΧΑ)

Meaning: Our flame shall never die.

5. Delta Pi (ΔΠ)

Latin Words: Ducere Perstantes

Greek: Δύναμις Προόδου

Translated Meaning: Strength Through Progress

According to this Quizlet set, Delta Pi represents "Strength Through Progress."

6. ZAX (ΖΑΧ)

Meaning: What binds us cannot be broken.

Have you heard the Greek expression «Αγάλι αγάλι γίνεται η αγουρίδα μέλι»?

Do you know what it means?

Hi everyone!
I am learning Greek via Preply. I am having a hard time with dialogue speaking… but I find it easier to read… -Any advice?

I also started writing down sentence anchors. But I get mind blocked whenever I try speaking it. https://postimg.cc/Wh3565wx

I’m trying to learn a little bit of greek, not necessarily for any purpose, and part of the way I like to learn languages is through listening to music in said language, so I wondering if anyone knew any good greek rock music or the like?

For reference, I listen to David Bowie, Mother Mother, and Enjambre a lot for rock music, σας ευχαριστώ! (If google translate is correct on that being thank you…)

Hi everyone!

If I walk into a chicken shop and ask for 'μισό κοτόπουλο', I'm asking for half a chicken.
If I walk into a chicken shop and say 'Μισώ το κοτόπουλο', I'm saying I hate chicken.
(1) Is there any pronunciation difference between 'μισό' and 'Μισώ'?
(2) Here, we can see the difference in meaning because of 'το' before 'κοτόπουλο'. Are there any situations where there might not be something like 'το', so apart from the spelling difference we can say μισό X and Μισώ X?

Learning Greek grammar? Start with these 10 tips!

Greek grammar can seem tricky at first, but a few simple tips can make a real difference!

Whether you're just starting to learn Greek or need a little help reviewing the basics, these 10 easy grammar tips will help you build a stronger foundation.

I write lefty so my letters lean. I struggle with α, γ, χ, ρ. Placement on the line I always mess up. Any feedback is welcome!

P.s. this is an email my pappou’s friend wrote and I am writing it down to have and frame (on better paper eventually) so I crossed out last name.

I started learning last year and have passed the A1 and A2 with distinction. Honestly both times I felt like I only reached the standard very close to the exam itself.

Γι’ αυτό - for B1 I want to be more prepared! What I find confusing though is what will be expected of me in terms of writing. I think with A1 it was all about getting literally anything relevant to the question on paper, with A2 - I think it was about doing writing that was about 20% better than A1 but with proper spelling and grammar.

If I’m being totally honest - I haven’t done any writing in about 2-3 months as I’ve been concentrating on reading and speaking. I have made massive strides with writing but it’s the thing I find hardest and I also find it very hard to get back to it after a break.

The other thing is that writing is the only section where there are no sample answers. Eg for speaking you can watch a video of what a good exam looks like, and for reading/listening you can see the answer key.

Χρόνια πολλά! You’ve probably heard this Greek phrase before, but do you know how many ways you can use it?

Greeks say Χρόνια πολλά (Chrónia pollá) all the time!

But when exactly do you use it, and what does it mean in each situation?

EDIT: Thandk everyone! I got the translation that it’s a verse from the bible about Mathew(sorry not Christian or religious) but thanks so much for the help

Γεια σας!

question for those of you who have Greek classes. Im now level A1, been doing classes for about A year now. I’ve started with a group class where the teacher spoke mostly Greek. I had no idea what was happening a good chunk of the time, but at the same time appreciated the “immersion”. Now for several reasons I’ve switched to private lessons. I really like my teacher but he mostly speaks in English during the class. It’s easier to follow for sure, but maybe less immersive?

my question is — do you think at a very low level like mine, it is more effective to have classes/lessons taught mostly in Greek with the occasion explanation in English to clarify things, or English as “working language” and Greek only in terms of content?

Γεια σας! I've just started studying Greek and I love the language! I just have one question, it might have been already asked here, but here it goes:

Is there a rule about which "i" letter (ee sound) to use in a word? There are 5 different forms - οι, ει, η, υ and ι. I never know which one to write even though I know how to pronounce the word. Is there some kind of basic rule, or you just learn it the way it is in each word?

Οι ανθρώποι που λατρεύουν την ελληνική γλώσσα, συχνά βλέπουν τα γκρίκλις ως έναν πρόβλημα. Αυτό είναι κατανοητό, αλλά όταν το άρχισα να μαθαίνω, ήταν λίγο διασκεδαστικό το να γράφω προτάσεις από ελληνικά στα γκρίκλις σαν παιχνίδι. Για αυτό είχα μια σκέψη. “Μήπως παρά να παλεύουμε με τα γκρίκλις, μπορούμε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε σαν κάτι χρήσιμο;” Εγώ ξέρω ότι μπορούνε να το χρησιμοποιήσουμε στα βιντεοπαιχνίδια είτε στα παλιά τηλέφωνα που σε στηρίζουν τα ελληνικά γράμματα, αλλά δε θα ήταν υπέροχο αν θα υπήρχε κάτι όπου τα γκρίκλις θα μπορούσαν να μας βοηθήσουν καλύτερα από απλά να τα γράφουμε επειδή η ελληνική γραφή δεν είναι διαθέσιμη είτε απλά επειδή τα γκρίκλις είναι πιο βολικά; Δώστε μου σενάρια όπου γκρίκλις μπορεί να μας βοηθήσει.
