Greek for beginners, spoken from day one

Starting a language from zero is mostly about not quitting in the first week. What keeps people going isn't a grammar chart, it's the small thrill of actually saying something and being understood.

Parlita gets you there in minutes. Your first session has you hearing, repeating, and using real Greek phrases in a tiny conversation, no typing and no pressure. Greek has its own 24-letter alphabet that comes fast, and behind it sits a living language with three thousand years of history. Here are the first words you'll learn.

Your first Greek phrases
γεια σουgeia souhello
ευχαριστώefcharistóthank you
με λένε…me léne…my name is…
τι κάνεις;ti kánis?how are you?
αντίοadíogoodbye

These are the exact phrases your first session teaches, and you'll use them in a real conversation, not just read them. Try it in the demo.

Common questions
Is Greek hard for beginners?

Greek is very learnable to speak once the alphabet clicks, which takes only a few days; the grammar is rich but regular. Starting by speaking, rather than memorizing, makes the early weeks much easier to stick with.

What are the first Greek words I should learn?

The greetings and self-introduction below get you into a real exchange immediately, which is the fastest way to feel progress. You'll build out from there.

Do I need any experience?

None. The first session assumes you know nothing and walks you from zero to a short spoken conversation.
