Hello friends of the Greek language,
I found a great website: Free Courses — Language Transfer
Mihali, a man from Cyprus, started this project to improve communication between Greeks and Turks. He developed a learning system for different languages in which an impressive path is taken (I would say it is real Greek, almost “Socratic”). He slowly leads his student through questions and answers and small information units into the language. For me this was a wonderful discovery because this program is an answer to my problem of starting to speak. Grammar rules hardly play a role. He develops the knowledge of his students through conversation. I can only recommend it!

I just tested this web address (without “https”) and came across a strange page. I don’t understand why (I’m not an IT specialist), it could be because I forgot the https. But you can also get there via the new address. From there you can also get to the other languages. I apologize for the inconvenience.
I believe that this program can be a very nice addition to LingQ. It is on the outside very modest (no pictures, no movies) but brings everything you need. For all lessons there is a transcript that the students made. Mihalis recommends not to use it while listening so that the learner gets used to listening and answering immediately without reading. I also use it sometimes because I am not very strong in English myself and then I can look up vocabulary or sentences.
I used his Greek course early on in my Greek learning process and quite enjoyed it. However I found there was just too much English spoken in the audio. It’s nice for internalizing some grammatical patterns, but in the end I found I preferred Greek-only materials such as Assimil and the stories here on LingQ.
Hi gregf,
thanks for your comment! I agree with you! Special for me because I am not very advanced in English. But since I’m quite at the beginning of my Greek studies, it was a great help for me to get slowly into the construction of the sentences. I think that it can only be an addition and then other material has to follow.
