Glossa

Glossa teaches you Modern Greek the way you'd actually learn it — by talking, listening, and using it. TALK TO A TUTOR THAT TALKS BACK Have real conversations, typed or spoken. Your tutor corrects you gently, explains why, and adjusts to your level. No scripted dialogues, no waiting for a class. CALL YOUR TUTOR Practise out loud with voice calls. Speak Greek, hear Greek, get corrected in the moment — the part most apps skip and the part that actually makes you fluent. LEARN FROM THE SONGS YOU ALREADY LOVE Paste any Greek song and get line-by-line translations, word breakdowns, and the meaning behind the lyrics. Rembetiko, Anna Vissi, whatever you're listening to. VOCABULARY THAT STAYS LEARNED Save any word with a tap. Glossa brings it back exactly when you're about to forget it, so the words stick instead of sliding away. UNDERSTAND GREECE, NOT JUST GREEK Short lessons on the history, food, music, and customs behind the language — the context that makes Greek make sense. GRAMMAR WHEN YOU WANT IT A clear handbook covering cases, verbs, and the awkward bits, in plain English, for the moments you want the rule rather than the practice. BUILT FOR A FEW MINUTES A DAY Track your streak, watch your level climb, and pick up where you left off. Whether you're heading to Greece, reconnecting with family, or just love the language. — SUBSCRIPTIONS Glossa is free to try.
