Dear HitGreece,
I am 14 years old and am currently trying to teach myself some Greek. I’m not Greek but am extremely intterested. I think that your website is such an amazing tool and I was so happy to see that it was free! Thanks! I also love how the podcasts are very in depth and don’t just teach words but how to move the mouth, cultural and social things. Please continue the lessons!

Thanks,
Cole

Great site!!!!!

I am going to Greece in 20 days, and I bet I will be able to speak some Greek :)

thank you very much!

Χρονια Πολλα!!!!
I’m veeery glad I found this website, since I’m getting also a nice introduction to ancient greek at the same time.
It’s great the closeness of the speaker, and I’m very fond of the slang you spread as vocabulary, that’s quite interesting, as with “poudra” in lesson 5.
Keep the excellent work!
Cheers from Barcelona.

Hello everione

My name is DUJAKOVIC ZDRAVKO

I am 46 years and I come from Bosnia-Hercegovina. I am of profession the interpretter and teacher of German and English language. I work a lot. I teach Gnglish and German at school, and in the afternoon I work in my interpretter agency. I am very proud of my profession, because I learnt German, English, Dutch by myself WITHOUT TEACHER !!!
Can you belive me ?

I learnt German and English when I was 20 years old. Several years ago I also downloaded a Dutsch course and learnt Dutch. An I speak Dutch very fluently. No I am learning Greek. AI also speak Russian.

I am very satisfied with this webside. I thing, I know it from my own reach experience, it is the best way of learning a foreign language.

Best regards
