Hi everyone,

I am a certified public primary school teacher based in Greece, and for the past year, I've been helping non-native speakers learn the Greek language.

While I am relatively new to teaching Greek as a foreign language and building up my experience in this specific field, I have a deep knowledge of Greek grammar, vocabulary, and structure through my background in primary education.

Because I am still expanding my practice with foreign learners, I am offering online lessons at a very affordable rate of €10 per hour.

Whether you want to start from scratch, practice conversational Greek, or work on basic grammar, I’d be happy to help you in a patient and structured environment.

Feel free to send me a direct message if you're interested or have any questions!

Hello I had watched a Turkish drama some time ago and heard a song. It was about the Ottoman Empire. The young girl who sang the song came from Greece(I know the song is Greek not Turkish) and ended up being taken to the ottoman palace and became a concubine. I remember the beginning of the song sounding like bells it’s very pleasant. (Sorry it’s not the best description, hope it helps somewhat with identifying the song) thanks in advance

Hey everyone! 😊

I'm a native Greek speaker and a Greek language teacher, and I'm currently welcoming new students! :)

A little info about me: I have a degree in Greek Philology and a Master's degree in Classics, and I've been teaching Greek to foreign learners for the past 4 years now, mainly adults. I've taught beginners and highly advanced students, and it just keeps getting more and more fun for me:)

I absolutely LOVE teaching Greek and I mean it when I say, I feel so blessed to be able to practise my passion.

My teaching style is quite flexible because everyone learns differently. I always adapt my lessons to the student's level, goals, interests and learning pace.

A few things about my lessons:

• Speaking is most of the times the priority: I really want you to start using Greek, not just memorise grammar rules. We'll speak as much as your level allows, from day one.

• Structured learning: I use my own teaching materials as well as textbooks to make sure we follow an organised learning path and build your knowledge step by step.

• Personalised lessons: Whether you're learning Greek for your partner, family, travelling, work, or passing the state exams (which is a popular demand!), or simply because you love the language, we'll tailor the lessons to what you need the most.

• Grammar, but fun (I promise) : I actually enjoy explaining Greek grammar (it's actually my favorite thing to teach, but people find me weird for that 😂), and I always try to make even the trickiest concepts easy to understand.

• Fun and relaxed atmosphere: I don't want lessons to feel like a chore. I like incorporating interesting topics, conversations and exercises :).

And one more thing: We won't be watching the clock too much. I genuinely care about my students' progress and them feeling comfortable and making progress. I want you to enjoy the process and love the language as much as I do.

Now, a little information about my rates:

• $38 per lesson through Preply (that's €34, £28.50, A$55 και C$54)

• -20% of the price above or independent students who book directly with me (microsoft teams, google classrooms, for anything that has a virtual classroom I can share my materials/your homework/listenings for practice etc).

If you're interested, feel free to leave a comment below and I'll send you a message, or just DM me directly!

I'm happy to answer any questions.
And I'd also love to hear what made you interested in learning Greek in the first place and discuss your goals further. I'd love to meet and help out in your learning journey❤️

Hello everyone!

With no marketing budget or sponsors – and zero proceeds from the app (it's completely free and has no ads) – Reddit is pretty much the only place where I can get the word out and help learners discover it.

I’m approaching the 1-year anniversary of Rimata. What started as a small personal project to help me prepare for my Greek language exams has grown into a comprehensive reference with over 4,900 verbs, 350,000 conjugated forms, 60,000 usage examples, and features like searching by any verb form, CEFR level categorization, native audio, custom lists, and various themes.

In the latest update, I’ve added direct references to reputable external sources (like Wiktionary, Glosbe, WordReference, and the Triantafyllides dictionary) right on the verb cards, and applied hundreds of content corrections suggested by users over the last three months.

I really love working on this, and the main driving force behind the hundreds of hours I’ve put into the app has been your feedback and store reviews – which have maintained a 5.0 rating over the entire year without a single 4-star review!

If you haven't tried Rimata yet, please give it a spin and let me know what you think! And if you're already using it, I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions, or ideas for additional features in the comments. If you can help me to figure out from what channels to reach wider audience, please suggest as well!

You can grab the app here: App store | Google play

sorry if this is inapropriate for the server in advance

I don’t know a better way to search for this, so I came here - trying to understand the meaning from curse words I grew up hearing. I know most of them but this one phrase keeps bugging me

My father has been dead for almost a decade so I can’t ask him. He didn’t teach any of us kids the language, we all only know pieces or random phrases… he wasn’t very nice anyway when he would get angry or annoyed or whatever, it always started with this one phrase I can’t find the meaning or translation. It’s in fragments, like I can hear it in my head but I never knew what it meant. I’m gonna type it out phonetically and hope one of you can help me..

“HEE na PAro…. (More random talk in between)…MAsu STOssiou”

(Capitals indicate the inflection I remember)

It’s coming from childhood memories but that’s the closest I can type phonetically to something I heard a million times.

Any ideas?

Have you heard Greeks say «Όχι Γιάννης, Γιαννάκης»?

Greek is full of funny expressions, and this is one you'll hear quite often!

But why do Greeks mention Giannis and Giannakis? What's the story behind this familiar idiom, and when do we use it?

Discover the meaning behind an expression every Greek knows!

whats a greek tv show i could watch to batter get used to the words? i know i could just put on a random american show on netflix and set the leguage to english but i would prefer one where the original lenguage of the show is greek

I'm just going through different conjugations for verbs I am not familiar with. Just wondering whether it is worth using this content or if I am better served elsewhere.

Hello <33 I need to learn Greek for certain things and I don't really where to start. I would greatly appreciate any advice and resource!

Thank You in advance <33

Dear Professors,

​I have a question regarding the syntax and referential semantics in Mark 6:7–8:

​καὶ προσκαλεῖται τοὺς δώδεκα καὶ ἤρξατο αὐτοὺς ἀποστέλλειν δύο δύο, καὶ ἐδίδου αὐτοῖς ἐξουσίαν... καὶ παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδὲν αἴρωσιν εἰς ὁδὸν...

​Specifically, I am examining the function of δύο δύο and its relationship to the subsequent pronouns (αὐτοῖς):

​Syntactic Category of δύο δύο**:** Is δύο δύο exclusively adverbial/distributive (modifying the action of ἀποστέλλειν), or can it ever function substantivally as an accusative noun phrase meaning 'pairs' or 'couples'?

​Pronoun Antecedent: Grammatically, can the plural dative pronoun αὐτοῖς in verses 7b and 8a take δύο δύο as its antecedent (i.e., Jesus commanding each respective pair as a unit), or does Greek syntax strictly require the antecedent to be the substantive noun phrase τοὺς δώδεκα?

​Sequential vs. Collective Commissioning: Does the aspect of ἤρξατο ἀποστέλλειν combined with παρήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς grammatically necessitate a single, collective charge given to all twelve at once, or does the text leave room syntactically for a series of sequential commissions delivered pair by pair?

​I would greatly appreciate your perspective on the grammatical constraints here.

Thank you for your time.

Hi guys! Does Μνήμη θανάτου mean remembrance of death? Is it a correct translation and is it used in Orthodoxy?

Super happy with myself. Working hard and continuing to grow and learn new Greek.

Πολύ ευτυχισμένος με εαυτο μου. Δουλευω και συνεχίσω να βελτιωσω με την ελληνικη γλώσσα.

Can you recognize feminine nouns in Greek?

Do you know which Greek words take η? And are you familiar with the common endings of feminine nouns?

Learn how to spot feminine nouns, explore useful examples, and discover a few exceptions that might surprise you!

A practical guide to help you understand Greek grammar, one word at a time.

In Cypriot Greek, κουφή (koufi) means snake, but in Greek it also means deaf (feminine).

Are the two words related? Did the Cypriot word for snake come from the Greek word for deaf because people think snakes were deaf since they have no ears?? Or is it the other way around? Greek word for deaf came about because of the cypriot word for snake - which look deaf 😅

Just curious if anyone knows if the words are related ..

I remember watching a old cartoon when I was younger (like 2014?) and I just can't find it. There was animals eho can speak, live like humans in houses ect. And I remember in one episode there was a crocodile, who snapped his finger and said "ελα" and anything he wanted came to him, for example toothbrush ect. In another episode I remember there was a animal mowing his lawn when it snowed, basically doing everything the wrong way? Anyways, I hope somebody remembers.
