Learn Greek Online: 20+ Free Greek Resources and Classes

---

Learning Greek? Perhaps you’re on the hunt for Greek language resources but aren’t sure where to look. There are loads of Greek lessons out there, and if you want to learn Greek, it can seem like too much work to sift through them all.

That’s where I come in. I’ve done the sifting for you and checked which resources still lead somewhere useful. Most are completely free; a few have a free tier alongside paid extras.

Here are more than 20 Greek courses, audio lessons, videos, apps and reference tools, followed by a simple way to combine them.

A note from the Fluent in 3 Months team before we get started: You can chat away with a native speaker for at least 15 minutes with the “Fluent in 3 Months” method. All it takes is 90 days. Tap this link to find out more.

Free Online Audio and Podcasts to Help You Learn Greek

Listening comprehension can be tough at first, so I recommend doing plenty of active listening. These resources give you a mix of guided lessons, real broadcasts and pronunciation references:

• GreekPod101 has audio and video lessons from complete beginner to advanced. A free account opens a starter library, while the fuller learning pathways are paid. Read our review first, then see the current GreekPod101 offer.
• Language Transfer’s Complete Greek is a free audio course. It works best when you pause to answer aloud rather than listening passively.
• TuneIn Greek is a directory of radio streams in Greek. Station availability changes, so try a few until you find one that works in your region.
• Forvo lets you hear community-recorded pronunciations of individual Greek words. Compare more than one recording when possible, because it is a pronunciation reference rather than a structured course.

YouTube: Free Greek Video Lessons

Video helps you connect spoken Greek with facial expressions, body language and other non-verbal aspects of communication. Start with a teaching channel, then move towards unscripted conversations:

• GreekPod101 publishes short lessons, vocabulary videos and beginner compilations.
• Easy Greek combines learner-focused videos with street interviews from Greece. Its Greek and English subtitles make the interviews easier to study in short sections.

Free Online Greek Courses, Systems and Tools

If you want guided lessons or a reliable reference, start here. Some are full courses; others are best used to check one word, verb or grammar point:

• An Introduction to Modern Greek grew out of J. David Eisenberg’s class notes and covers the writing system, pronunciation and basic grammar.
• Wikibooks offers a community-written Modern Greek coursebook.
• Live Lingua hosts four free public-domain Greek courses with ebooks and audio from sources including the US Foreign Service Institute.
• 50languages has 100 short Greek lessons organised around everyday situations.
• BBC Languages: Greek is an archived beginner collection. It can still be useful for basic phrases and cultural context, but it is no longer being updated.
• Cooljugator is a quick reference for Modern Greek verb forms. Check important forms against a dictionary or course before memorising them.
• The Dictionary of Standard Modern Greek from the Centre for the Greek Language is an authoritative monolingual reference for learners who can already navigate definitions in Greek.
• I Kinda Like Languages has a free introductory course on the Modern Greek alphabet.
• Learn Greek Online is a long-running collection of text and audio lessons. The interface is dated, but the lesson archive is still available.
• The Online Greek Tutor blog publishes free lessons on vocabulary, grammar and Greek culture alongside its paid tutoring service.

Greek Language Apps with Free Access

Apps are handy for short study sessions, but their free and paid features differ:

• Memrise includes free Greek lessons, with additional features behind its paid plan.
• Anki is a spaced-repetition flashcard system for building your own Greek deck. The desktop app and AnkiDroid for Android are free; the official AnkiMobile app for iPhone and iPad is paid.
• Duolingo has a free, gamified Greek course with optional paid upgrades.
• Clozemaster uses fill-in-the-blank sentences to practise Greek vocabulary in context. Its core exercises are free, with extra features in the paid plan.

Free Online Greek Language Resources for Advanced Greek Learners

TED Talks in Greek

• TED Talks in Greek filters TED’s talk catalogue to Greek-language videos. Topics and running times vary, so choose a subject you already know when you first move into native-level listening.

Free Greek Language Reading Materials

Finding reading material appropriate for your level in the language can be a challenge. Thankfully, there’s a good selection of Greek reading resources available to you as a learner online for free. Here are just a few:

• Greek Wikipedia is useful for short articles on a subject you already know. The Greek and English editions can differ, so use the English article for topic and context rather than as a line-by-line translation.
• LingQ helps you read and listen to Greek content while saving new words. It is free to try, but sustained use of its full feature set requires a paid plan; see our LingQ review for the trade-offs.

How to Use These Free Greek Resources

Choose one structured course as your backbone instead of trying to use everything at once. Language Transfer, Live Lingua or the free GreekPod101 lessons can give you an order to follow.

Then add one listening source and one review tool. For example, study an Easy Greek interview in short sections, check a difficult pronunciation on Forvo, and save the words you want to keep in Anki. Once learner material feels comfortable, move towards radio, TED Talks and Greek Wikipedia.

A small set you use every week will take you further than a long list you open once.
