My Resources for Learning Modern Greek 🇬🇷

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.

Teach Yourself, Ellinika Tora, and Epikoinoniste work well, especially the last one, as it places a stronger emphasis on communication. As for Klik, it’s more focused on grammar and writing, making it ideal for those preparing for the proficiency exam. However, I don’t think it’s a good resource for self-study.

TV Shows and Movies

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.
