Learn Greek by reading real Greek

What to read in Greek

Today, the daily edition, has headlines from Greek outlets, including ERT News, ERT Sports, Techgear, physicsgg and Culturenow. Open one and the article opens in the reader, where every word can be tapped.

The Store has no Greek books yet. Books there are in English, French, German, Spanish and Portuguese.

You can also bring your own Greek: import a PDF, save a link to a web article, or paste text. Whatever you read, it stays in Greek, and help appears only where you ask for it.

How a tap helps

The word turns bold and a note opens under its sentence with the meaning it has here, in your own language. Word analysis gives the root and the form. Select a few words or a sentence to translate just that part.

Every word you tap is saved with its sentence and comes back as a card, at longer and longer gaps, until you know it. Listen reads books, PDFs and your texts aloud in a natural Greek voice, sentence by sentence.

Is it right for you?

ContextCat works best once you know enough Greek to follow a simple text and want to read more of it. If you are starting from zero, begin with a course, and come back when short texts feel within reach. The guides have ideas on where to start.
