Hello everyone, I wanted to make a new thread listing online resources for Modern Greek. I see we have the start of our first two Greek courses here on LingQ!
A Day in the Greek
and
Με το Νικο - With Nikos
If you have other resources to share for Modern Greek, please post them here!
This is a list of resources sent to me from the Hellenic American Union:
Greek on the Go: an iPhone application for beginner Modern Greek-language learners who wish to practice survival vocabulary used in everyday conversation. It comprises videos of dialogues in a variety of contexts, as well as multimedia. For more information please visit:
Talk to the Experts: a service which gives the opportunity to connect and speak live with a native speaking tutor in order to further enhance speaking skills by engaging in real life language use. (http://www.hau.gr/?i=learning.en.podcasts-and-radio)
Talk to the Exam Expert: a service which gives the opportunity to candidates to connect and speak live with a highly qualified teacher and practice for the oral examination of the Greek Exam. (http://www.hau.gr/?i=learning.en.podcasts-and-radio)
Learning Greek podcasts: 80 free sessions in the form of podcasts that can be downloaded to iPod or any other mp3 player, free of charge. The podcasts can be used as a supplement to language learning for someone who already knows some Greek. Below is the link to the page where you will find instructions/transcripts: http://www.hau.gr/?i=learning.en.podcasts-in-greek
Learning Greek Videos: a series of free lessons that use video to help students to learn Greek as a foreign language. This is not a complete program for the learning of Greek language. For more, please visit: http://www.hau.gr/?i=learning.en.video_casts
It is certainly possible, but I’m not going to type them into lingq by hand. If I can get access to the non-password protected documents, however, I can import them by copying-and-pasting the text.
Have you asked for permission to share them on LingQ? The site is copyrighted in Europe you need always the permission of the creator if you want to share it. I couldn’t find a CC-note on the page. If you ask kindly for permission and explain what LingQ is about, they’ll probably give it. You should explain that the content on LingQ is free even when there are features that are not free.
Eventually I’ll get around to uploading it here, but my Greek isn’t really good enough to make use of the book, so it might take a while. If someone else wants to import it, please be my guest!
