About Learn Ancient Greek
Two and a half thousand years ago somebody wrote it down. You can be the one who reads it. Learn Ancient Greek takes you from not knowing the alphabet to reading Homer, Plato and Sappho in the original — a few minutes at a time, with no textbook and no classroom. PRACTICE — a course that plays like a game 23 sections, 100 units and 211 short lessons that start at alpha and end with real Greek. Eight kinds of exercise, including listening and sentence building. Earn XP, level up, keep a daily streak alive. You set the goal — one session a day or five — and change it whenever life gets busy. DICTIONARY — 5,600+ words, properly done Not a word list. Every entry carries its full paradigm: every case of every noun, every principal part of every verb, with meanings in your language and a recording you can replay. Search by Greek spelling or by English meaning, sort by how often a word really appears, star the ones you're learning. GRAMMAR — 51 reference lessons The whole of Attic grammar, breathings and accents through to conditional clauses, with tables and real examples. Made to be read on a phone in two minutes. TEXTS — real Greek, with training wheels Passages from Homer, Hesiod, Sappho, Plato, Xenophon and Aesop, plus complete short works: six Homeric Hymns, all 148 Delphic Maxims, the opening of John's Gospel. Each sits beside a translation — and every Greek word is tappable. Tap one and you get the meaning, the parse and the dictionary form without leaving the page. Because the hard part isn't the vocabulary you know. It's the participle you can't parse. TRANSLATOR — both directions Translate to or from Ancient Greek with correct accents and diacritics. 6,600+ RECORDINGS, ALL ON YOUR DEVICE Reconstructed Erasmian pronunciation — aspirated phi, theta and chi, long eta and omega, the classical diphthongs. The way it's taught in classrooms, not modern Greek. WORKS OFFLINE The dictionary, the readings and every recording ship inside the app. On a plane, on the subway, in a basement — everything but the translator works with no signal. FIVE LANGUAGES English, German, French, Italian and Spanish — not just the buttons, but the dictionary meanings, explanations and translations. NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. NO TRACKING. Nothing to sign up for, nothing watching you. Turn on iCloud sync and progress follows you to iPad and Mac; leave it off and it all stays here. FREE, FOREVER The first seven sections of the course. The complete 5,600+ word dictionary. Audio for the 1,000 most common words. The beginner grammar lessons. Beginner readings, including all 148 Delphic Maxims. The translator, if you bring your own OpenAI API key. No trial clock.
