Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)

Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.

Default word order

Modern Greek is often SVO, but word order can be flexible.

  • Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
  • Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.

Core sentences to memorize

These are extremely reusable. Read them aloud, then change one word (water → coffee, bathroom → station…).

I am here.
Θέλω νερό.
