A1 course
First words, sounds, and sentences
Start Modern Greek from zero. Read and write the Greek alphabet, get the pronunciation right, meet people, order at a taverna, and build the first few hundred words you actually need. You'll cover the present tense of the most common verbs (είμαι, έχω, θέλω, πάω, μιλάω), gendered nouns and articles, plurals, possessives, numbers, days, and directions. Every lesson has English side-by-side, spoken examples, and short quizzes so you know it stuck.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to finish A1 Modern Greek?
Most learners get through A1 in 8 to 12 weeks doing 20 to 30 minutes a day. It's 35 lessons plus vocabulary drills and comprehension exercises, and you can go faster or slower without losing your progress.
Do I need to know the Greek alphabet before I start?
Nope, that's what we're here for. Chapter 1 walks you through every letter, both cases, and the sounds that trip English speakers up (γ, χ, θ, δ). By the end of chapter 1 you'll be reading Greek words out loud, not guessing.
What Greek vocabulary does A1 cover?
About 400 to 500 essential words across greetings, family, food and drink, numbers 1 to 100, colours, days and months, common places, and the verbs you use every day. Vocabulary is woven into grammar chapters so you learn words in context, not from cold lists.
Is Modern Greek the same as Ancient Greek?
Nope, they're pretty different animals. Modern Greek has its own pronunciation, simpler grammar, and its own vocabulary. If you learned Ancient Greek at school you'll spot the alphabet and some familiar roots, but the spoken language works differently. All Greek 2 Me teaches Modern Greek only.
What can I say after finishing A1?
You can introduce yourself, ask where someone's from, order food, buy a coffee, count and tell the time, describe your family, ask directions, and hold a simple present-tense conversation. Enough for a Greek holiday and enough to start A2.
