Approximately 13 million people speak Greek worldwide. Most native speakers reside in Greece, with sizable communities in Cyprus, the diaspora in North America, Australia, and parts of Europe.

Greek is the official language. In addition, minority languages and dialects such as Albanian, Turkish, and Macedonian are spoken in some regions, while English is widely understood in urban and tourist areas.

Greek is a unique branch of the Indo-European family with few close relatives. Although it has influenced many languages, it remains linguistically distinct, making it a fascinating subject for language enthusiasts.

Greek pronunciation is largely straightforward because letters generally represent the same sound every time. The challenge is learning the unique sounds of a few letters, but with practice, pronunciation becomes second nature.

Greek uses its own alphabet, which includes distinct letters such as Α, Β, Γ, Δ, Ε, Ζ, Η, Θ, Ι, Κ, Λ, Μ, Ν, Ξ, Ο, Π, Ρ, Σ, Τ, Υ, Φ, Χ, Ψ, and Ω. Each letter has a consistent sound, and mastering them is key to learning Greek.

Modern Greek utilizes four grammatical cases: nominative, genitive, accusative, and vocative. These cases determine how nouns and adjectives change form depending on their role in a sentence.

Absolutely! Whether you’re interested in the rich history, literature, and philosophy of Greece or planning to travel, learning Greek is a highly rewarding experience that also opens the door to understanding other languages and cultures in the region.
