Learn Some Greek

Learn the Greek alphabet and a bit of the language

First problem: get your browser to display Greek correctly. If this: ΗΕLLΟ looks like this: HELLO, then everything’s fine and you can now go to these pages:

• lesson one (the alphabet: capitals) (real Greek characters)
• lesson two (the alphabet: lower case) (real Greek characters)
• lesson three (greetings and a grain of grammar) (real Greek characters)
• lesson four (easy vocabulary) (real Greek characters)

If it doesn’t (it’ll probably look like ‘CALLI’ with some accents dotted about) you’ll need to fiddle around a bit. Try adjusting the ‘Encoding’ setting on your browser (usually on one of the menus) to ‘UTF-8’ or similar.

Done the trick? Reload this page in case the setting hasn’t taken effect immediately. If that fails, you can use these pages (which won’t look quite as pretty: in particular, accents will appear after the letters they’re supposed to be on top of):

• lesson one (the alphabet: capitals) (fake Greek characters)
• lesson two (the alphabet: lower case) (fake Greek characters)
• lesson three (greetings and a grain of grammar) (fake Greek characters)
• lesson four (easy vocabulary) (fake Greek characters)
