The textbooks I’ve chosen to support my studies are  Teach Yourself – Complete Greek (as I did with  Swedish), Ellinika Tora 1+1, and Epikoinoniste Ellinika. In the course I’m taking, however, we use Klik sta Ellinika, developed by the Greek Language Center, which, as far as I know, is a key resource for learning Greek and preparing for proficiency exams.

ERTFLIX plays a key role in my Greek learning routine. I make an effort to watch at least one program daily, which strengthens my listening skills and exposes me to the language in real-life situations. There are still plenty of words I don't recognize or have trouble recalling, but despite the challenges, it keeps me motivated to progress and broaden my vocabulary.

FSI Modern Greek Basic Course*

*The FSI Modern Greek Course is a language program developed by the U.S. Foreign Service Institute to help diplomats and government employees learn Modern Greek for work in Greek-speaking countries. It focuses on practical communication skills and is designed to be self-instructive, meaning you can study independently. The course is free and publicly available online, but it may be more formal and less updated compared to modern language courses. Nonetheless, it’s a great option for building a solid foundation in Modern Greek.

Audiobooks

The textbooks I have chosen to support my studies in Swedish are Teach Yourself and Mål 1. I decided not to use Rivstart, as it is not the most suitable option for self-taught learners. Perhaps, when I am more advanced in the language, I might consider it, at least Volume II. For now, Mål 1 has been meeting my needs very well. Later on, I plan to continue with På Svenska, another book I have adapted to quite well.

TV Shows and Movies

I use SVT as an essential part of my Swedish learning process. I try to watch at least one program every day, which helps me improve my listening skills and become more familiar with the language in real contexts. However, there are still many words I don't understand or struggle to remember. Even though it can be challenging at times, it motivates me to keep going and expand my vocabulary.
