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.

https://scripture-stories-three.vercel.app/

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

If you're a developer and want to help me work on this, DM me

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!

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. 🙂

I think it's about the fall of Constantinople, but can't confirm it. I have long since lost the source. If anyone is able to help me, I'd really appreciate it!

Ὅστις ἠξεύρει γράμματα καὶ γράφει μὲ κονδύλιν,
κοντά μ᾽ ἂς ἔλθη νὰ σταθῆ γιὰ νὰ τοῦ παραγγείλω
νὰ γράψη μοιργολογικὰ ὅλοι νὰ λυπηθῆτε.

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.
