## What is Cyprusays® Learn Cypriot Greek?

Cyprusays is the first app dedicated to teaching the modern Cypriot Greek dialect, powered by the world’s first Cypriot Greek pronunciation recognition technology. With every lesson, you’ll hear native audio, repeat phrases aloud, and get instant feedback on your pronunciation — helping you truly speak Cypriot Greek with confidence.

Our lessons focus on real-life situations that matter: cooking, employment, making reservations, socialising & health, plus many more. Alongside the language, you’ll unlock the culture — traditions, expressions, and ways of speaking that connect you more deeply to Cyprus.

Whether you’re part of the diaspora wanting to reconnect, or simply curious about learning the unique Greek of Cyprus, Cyprusays will turn digital learning into real conversations. Short, accessible lessons fit into any schedule, so you can learn and practice anytime, anywhere.

Built by an Australian-born, Cypriot Greek founder with academic linguists and researchers, Cyprusays content has been mapped to the CEFR: Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. With the support of this team, we’ve created the world’s first Reading & Pronunciation Guide for the Cypriot Greek alphabet.

Building on this academic base, we provide learners with beginner and intermediate categories, using internationally recognised standards for developing everyday language use rather than just grammatical & theoretical knowledge.

Cyprusays isn’t about tapping through exercises — it teaches real speaking skills and helps you chat with family & friends. For learners everywhere, you can now travel, work & live in Cyprus with confidence.

You will not find Cypriot Greek as a language option on any other language learning app, not even the tech of big platforms recognise the unique dialect of Cypriot Greek. One of the world’s oldest languages, now has an app - Cyprusays: the only way to learn and speak Cypriot Greek digitally.

### 3/5 — Nice app , but no skip , and no recap .

*2026-07-25*

I love the idea of the app , but finding it difficult to progress. 
I have a strong Northern Ireland accent ( obviously not the developers fault ) , and the odd word comes up which i simply can’t get at the moment. When this happens, I can’t skip the sentence, and can’t go back to the single words or recap . 
I know I could go to other categories, but having recently moved to Cyprus , there are specific areas I want to prioritise . 
I’m sure the app will develop further , and will keep it for another month or two , to see if I can progress. 
Thanks , Alan .

### 2/5 — Free Features needed

*2026-07-18*

Lots more free features needed to entice people to use this. Also, you can’t revert back to previous lessons to repeat them.

### 2/5 — High hopes but Sadly did not deliver

*2026-06-15*

I was very excited when I saw that this app was in development and eagerly awaited its release , on release I was a little disappointed with the high price point and the ability to only sample a couple of categories prior to making a commitment to the subscription service , this was not enough to make an informed decision in my opinion so I held back with some disappointment. Then i was super excited to learn a revision was made to now offer a 14 day free trial . Happy days I thought now I can fully trial the app and make a more informed decision in terms of committing to the subscription service. So I signed up and will give an honest opinion of my findings. Full disclosure I am half Cypriot with a basic knowledge of modern Greek and some understanding of the accent and some words having grown up around the dialect although I never actually learnt it , that said I completed all categories within 6 days well within the trial period . The categories are set out in phrase book style and there is quite a bit of repetition which can be good or bad depending on your viewpoint. The app provides access to various pre set phrases which for some people will be fine (holiday makers,travellers etc)but for those wishing a deeper understanding of the dialect , language ,grammar or ability to construct sentences for yourself to have  meaningful conversations with relatives etc it will sadly fall short in my opinion. The voice recognition definitely needs some work although in fairness they tell me this is still a work in progress. It can prove to be very frustrating having to repeat the same words over and over correctly before they are accepted and you are able to progress, I counted on one occasion 50+ attempts before I was able to continue despite correct pronunciation . A skip feature (in development I’m told) would certainly avoid the frustration this creates ahead of the voice recognition being more fit for purpose. I had big hopes for this app having always regretted never learning Cypriot Greek growing up  and now in my 50’s but the apps value I feel very much depends on what you want to get out of it I think if you are visiting Cyprus and looking for a few phrases to use it may be perfect for you but to be honest I can’t imagine having a use for a lot of the phrases provided and if you are looking for a deeper understanding of the dialect as I was  I don’t think this provides it sadly . This realistically in its current format is just an electronic phrase book and I don’t feel is a good fit for the subscription model as the content can be covered fairly quickly therefore does not provide value for money to warrant ongoing payments. It would in my opinion be more suitable as a one off purchase in line with other phrase books. Perhaps with further development this will in time hopefully change and  deliver in terms of an app that will both teach the language /dialect beyond phrase book level and preserve it for future generations.

### 3/5 — Love the idea of this app, needs refining

*2026-02-06*

I’ve been waiting for an app like this and I love the idea of it and the different sections. I haven’t utilised the paid for areas just yet but I will be happy to once the teething problems are fixed. As it’s a new app, they are to be expected.  I found it quite difficult to jump straight to full sentences from singular words. I wish you could skip forward and back so you can revisit to practice or jump forward if you’re struggling with a particular sentence and come back to it another day. My self and my teen son have enjoyed using this app so far. Thank you so much to the creators.

### 5/5 — Reconnecting with cultural identity

*2025-12-02*

Living as a second generation Cypriot in Australia, it was frustrating for my sisters & I when we would not be able to participate in large family gatherings due to our inability to converse with relatives in Cypriot. This app means I can give that education to my kids (and myself) and reconnect with our cultural identity. A long time in the making!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for sharing this. It’s incredibly meaningful to hear how Cyprusays is helping you and your family reconnect with language and culture across generations. Knowing it can support your kids as well makes everything worthwhile. We truly appreciate your support and kind words!

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-12-02*

I love this app! It’s been so helpful for our family learn Cypriot. It’s super easy aswell. 
Highly recommend it

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear Cyprusays has been helpful for your family and that you’re finding it easy to use. Your recommendation really means a lot to us!

### 5/5 — Saved me an email 😛

*2025-11-29*

Even better with Phonetics toggle. 
Very happy 😁

**Developer response:** Thank you so much, we’re really glad to hear the phonetics toggle is helping. Appreciate you taking the time to leave a great review!

### 3/5 — Deep end

*2025-11-12*

I was waiting for something like this to come out but I don’t like how it throws you in the deep end with the weather which no prep at all! I don’t even know the word for weather and its telling me to pronounce a whole sentence! This needs major breaking down. It needs to be more complete beginner friendly. Starting off with basic words - like how children would learn.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and for giving Cyprusays a try. We understand your point about being thrown in too quickly. We’ve already reordered the early lessons to introduce simpler words first, before moving into full sentences, to make the experience more beginner friendly. We appreciate you sharing your thoughts as we keep improving the app.

### 2/5 — Too focused on monetising

*2025-11-10*

Nice idea firstly and it’s clear the app has been invested in. My main issue is the jump to a paid plan that is expensive without any trials to understand the value. Yes some features are “unlocked” but if you want to entice customers then at least offer a month for free. I’m half Cypriot and have pretty good “standard Greek” but I’m always looking to improve my Cypriot, so not a beginner as such. I use Easy Greek for example, which is around £28 pm and has multiple conversation lessons per week…not in Cypriot but Cyprus is a small population anyway. Please get in touch if you want to chat, I think I am what you’re targeting.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Cyprusays is still in its early stages and we’re actively refining the experience as we learn from our users. We recently made a few updates including a slower playback option and adjustments to lesson order to make things feel more natural for different levels.

Our pricing now reflects a simpler and more accessible structure, and we’re continuing to improve the overall flow of the app as we grow. If you’d like to chat about your experience or share more ideas, you’re welcome to reach us anytime at support@cyprusays.com

### 5/5 — INCREDIBLE

*2025-11-01*

This platform for the Cypriot dialect was due for many years and thankfully the people that decided to do it are some with genuine respect and passion for the language.
The app is easy to use, enjoyable but above everything else it’s ACCURATE. The dialect (I’m a native speaker) will be preserved and learnt properly because of this. Thank you guys for the incredible work!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this incredible review! It means the world to hear that Cyprusays resonates with native speakers who care about preserving the dialect as much as we do. We’ve poured our hearts into making it authentic, accurate and enjoyable, so your words truly motivate us to keep building with more content & features for everyone. Thank you for the amazing support Elias!
