Learning Greek
Some help
Learning any language is not easy, and since greek has a long history
and a unique alphabet, it can take some time. However, you can also
learn greek very easily. First, you'll need to know, very well, the
alphabet. Go
here for my table of the greek alphabet. Click here for some practice with the
alphabet. (recommended)
After you know the alphabet by heart, you should continue through a
course of study varying by how you learn. If you learn by phrase and
by studying vocabulary, you should start off with a few phrases, such
as the phrases Ti kaneiV, Geia saV, Pos saV
lene; (these are the greek equivalents for: How are you doing,
Hello, and What is your name?). If, however, you learn by grammar
and you have studyed languages, you might want to start by learning the
personal pronouns and their declension, or the conjugation of
the word "to be".
Here are a few links:
Kypros.org's Learn Greek
(with audio)
the GreekLang
tables of Greek page.
If you are planning to go to Cyprus or Greece, pronounciation is
important. Go to the above link to Kypros.org's Learn Greek, and listen
to a few audio files. Then, go to the User's Notes page and listen
to a few files while reading the file, this will help a lot.
I am beginning with my own online tutorial. This will not be finished until, well, I dont know,
but here's the link to it.
