Is Greek hard to learn?
The Greek alphabet looks unfamiliar at first, but with 24 letters it can be learned in a few days, and you already know many letters from maths. The stressed syllable is marked in writing, so you always know where the stress goes. On LinguDay every word’s pronunciation is written in Latin letters and you can listen to it.
How long does it take to learn Greek?
A few months of regular study is enough for a basic level. With 10 words a day you learn 70 words a week and about 300 a month, reaching 900 words in three months. Speaking fluently also takes listening and speaking practice.

How do I learn to pronounce Greek words?
On LinguDay every word’s pronunciation is written in Latin letters and you can listen to it. So you can start before learning the alphabet and get the pronunciation right from the beginning.
Where should I start learning Greek?
