From your first word to practice
See what you can do in the app: explore word cards, check your grammar and practice for the Cyprus culture exam.
How it works
-
Pick your level
Mark the words you already know, and the app suggests collections that fit. If Greek is new to you, start with the “Base” collection.
-
Practice in short sessions
A session is 10, 20, 30 or 50 exercises: match a word to a picture, recognize it by ear, build it from letters, put a phrase together.
-
Review on a schedule
Your review schedule uses your answers. Words you know well appear less often, while words you get wrong return sooner.
-
Watch your progress
Your stats show study days, daily goal progress and words you have learned. The activity calendar helps you track how regularly you practice.
What you can practice
Start with vocabulary or choose another section: reading, grammar, listening, a phrasebook or Cyprus culture exam practice.

Words and phrases
5,100+ dictionary entries with audio, examples and pictures. 11 exercise formats and spaced repetition.
