Lessons
Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)
Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.
Pattern: “I am here” (location + ‘to be’)
A tiny sentence that unlocks location + introductions.
Pattern: “I want …” (requests + objects)
Use this to order, request, and state needs.
Pattern: “I don’t understand” (negation in real life)
A survival phrase — and your first reliable negative sentence.
Pattern: “Do you speak …?” (questions + politeness)
A reusable question pattern for travel and conversation.
Pattern: “Where is …?” (finding places fast)
Ask for locations using a single high‑frequency pattern.
Pattern: “This is my …” (introductions + possession)
Introduce people and things using a natural ‘this is’ pattern.
Word order: what’s normal (and how to sound natural)
Understand the default word order and a simple strategy to avoid ‘translation‑English’.
Pronouns you actually use (I / you / we)
Choose the right ‘you’, and get comfortable with the most common pronoun patterns.
Politeness & formality (sound respectful fast)
Formality is one of the fastest ways to sound natural in many languages.
Questions: yes/no questions that sound natural
Learn the main yes/no question pattern, then reuse it with new vocabulary.
Question words (who/what/where/when/why/how)
Learn the six question words as a set — then swap them into patterns you already know.
Negation: saying ‘not’ the natural way
Learn the main negative pattern and two phrases you’ll use constantly.
Nouns: definiteness (a/the) and noun phrases
Learn noun phrases you can actually reuse (not isolated dictionary forms).
Gender & adjective agreement (the useful beginner version)
Don’t memorize tables first — start with patterns you’ll actually say.
Plurals & quantity (how to talk about more than one)
A beginner strategy for plurals: learn a few patterns and lots of real examples.
Possession (my/your) in real sentences
Use ‘my’ and ‘your’ naturally — a high‑frequency grammar need.
Verbs: the present tense you’ll actually use
A practical way to start using verbs without getting stuck in conjugation tables.
Talking about the past (yesterday, earlier, last week)
A beginner‑friendly approach to past tense: start with one safe past pattern and reuse it.
Talking about the future (tomorrow, next week, plans)
How to express plans and future meaning with a safe, high‑frequency pattern.
Big idea: Articles + cases (nominative vs accusative): Nominative vs accusative (starter)
Greek articles change with case. Learn noun phrases, not isolated nouns.
Big idea: Articles + cases (nominative vs accusative): practice + mini‑quiz
Practice the big idea with drills and a longer quiz based on real examples.
Checkpoint: mix & match (build 10 useful sentences)
A practical review: combine the patterns you’ve learned into usable speech.
