How it works
We start with the alphabet and build up to everyday Greek, level A1 and then A2. You learn standard Modern Greek: the Greek of forms, signs and the doctor’s surgery.
No guessing what to learn next
Open the app and the next lesson is waiting. Everything comes in order: the alphabet, reading, then the A1 topics. Stopped halfway through a lesson? You pick up where you left off.
Read your first words in 5 minutes
Nine Greek letters read just like English ones, so you start with those. Then we spend the time on the traps: Η says ee, not h, and Ρ says r, not p. Lessons are short enough to finish while you wait in a queue.
Real conversations from the start
Scenes from life in Cyprus: a first call, meeting a neighbour, a family photo on the fridge. You read first, then hear how it sounds. Tap a word you don’t know to see what it means.
Words that stay with you
Words from the lessons go into your word bank. When a word is due for review, the app brings it back by itself: a couple of short workouts a day and a warm-up before each lesson.
Texts you will actually meet
Forms, notes and messages. In the first unit you fill in a form about yourself in Greek, the kind you meet at the doctor’s or the town hall.
Handwriting checked by photo
Write by hand and take a photo of the page. AI marks the mistakes right on the photo and explains each one. The check is paid for with coins: the app shows the cost before it starts, and your first coins are a gift when you sign in.
A check at the end of every unit
Each unit ends with a short test, and you can make up to three mistakes. That way you know the topic has really stuck before you move on.
See when you will finish
Set a daily goal, and your profile shows the date you will reach A1 at that pace, next to a chart of the lessons you have done.
Learn with friends
Send a friend a link and see who finished how many lessons this week. It is harder to give up that way.
And also
- Learn from mistakes. Tasks you got wrong come back at the end of the lesson.
- A goal for the day. The home screen shows how many lessons are left for today.
- Hints. A short explanation after every answer: for example, that δ is the “th” of “this”, not a d.
- Spotted a mistake? Every slide has a flag: tap it, tell us what is wrong, and we will fix it.
- No sign-up. You only need an account to save your progress, invite friends and check your handwriting.

Your path
Start for free: learn the alphabet and read your first words. If you like it, open the Path to A2, where the A1 lessons are. New units are added to the same Path.
- The basicsFree
The alphabet in capitals and small letters, stress, the sounds English doesn’t have, greetings and a first call. No sign-up needed.
- A1Path to A2
Letter pairs, numbers and phone numbers, the verb “to be” and verbs in -ω. Then unit 1, meeting people, and unit 2, family. More units are on the way.
- A2Path to A2
The next level. We are still writing these lessons: they will join the same Path.
The Path to A2 is not a subscription: when it is on sale, it is a one-time purchase that stays yours, and new lessons join it at no extra cost. The app shows the current price or offer before you pay.
The handwriting check by photo runs on AI, so it is paid separately, with coins. The app shows how many coins a check costs before it starts, and if a check fails, the coins come back. Coins never expire.
Who it is for
For anyone starting from zero who wants to understand what is written and said around them.
- You live in Cyprus You want to read signs and forms and talk to your neighbours and your doctor.
- You are moving to Greece You want to arrive already able to read what is around you.
- Your family is Greek You want to read a menu, a message or a birthday card on your own.
