Instructions

• 1). Sign up for a Greek language course. Universities and specialty language centers offer courses in the Greek language. A class will help you learn to read and write the Greek alphabet. It can also help you learn the dynamics of grammar in Greece and the phonetics of the written words.
  
  
• 2). Practice Greek online. Several Internet sites offer Greek practice online. ILearnGreek.com is an educational web site devoted to learning Greek. They offer lesson plans, quizzes and games to help practice Greek. The site also gives examples of the language and explains Greek grammar and culture. The site does cost to use but it is a fraction of the amount of a typical brick-and-mortar class. For a free online option to Greek lessons, check out LiveMocha.com. The web site offers courses in a variety of languages. For Greek, you can take a beginner or intermediate course. You can also practice with native Greek speakers to help you become fluent in the language.
  
  
• 3). Create flash cards. In order to learn Greek, you should immerse yourself into the language. Write common vocabulary words on flash cards and place them on the corresponding objects in the home. For example, instead of looking at a door and thinking "door," you can look at it and read "π?ρτα." This helps you learn the language quickly via integrating it into your daily routine.
  
  
• 4). Read Greek publications. Peruse through Greek newspapers or periodicals, such as Ethnos or Monopoli, to become accustomed to the Greek language and to practice reading. Use a English-Greek dictionary for words you have yet to learn. If you are also taking courses with an instructor, take note of sentences that you do not understand and consult your teacher about their meaning. Reading English to Greek novels is also a good way to practice reading the language. The books contain one page of English with the Greek translation on the opposite page. You can find these types of books at your local library or online through a book retailer.
  
  
• 5). Read Greek subtitles in films. Renting Greek films, such as the Oscar-nominated film "Dogtooth," is a way to be accustomed to the language and culture of the Greek people. Turn on Greek subtitles while listening to the characters speak. This will help you to sync up the spoken language when the way the words look in writing. Another method is watch American films with Greek subtitles. In this manner, you will be able to visually recognize the grammar structure of Green sentences and how it translates to the English language.
