Free Greek learning resources
35 free resources, checked and categorised.
Every link is usable without paying. Some ask for a free account or keep extras behind a paid tier, and those are labelled.
Decide first which Greek you want, because the free material mixes both and they are not the same language. Modern Greek is what people speak today; Ancient Greek is a separate study aimed at reading classical texts. Starting the wrong one is the most common early mistake here.
For Modern Greek, the alphabet takes a few days and is the smallest obstacle, so do not let it delay you. The real work is the case system and, later, the verb aspect distinction, which has no clean English equivalent and takes sustained exposure rather than explanation.
Free Greek material is thinner than for French or German, so lean on what exists: a solid course, a dictionary with audio, and Greek radio and news for listening. Because the pool is smaller, finishing one good course matters more here than shopping around for a better one.

Learn it there, practise it here
Free resources are great for input: reading, listening, explanations. They are weaker at the two things that actually move you forward: speaking Greek out loud, and remembering what you met once. That is what OwnSlides is for.
Say it out loud
Talk to an AI tutor that answers back, or get matched with other learners and native speakers for a text chat.
Practise what you read
Turn a grammar point or article into exercises, so it moves from recognised to usable.
Keep the words
Save new words to My Words and let spaced repetition bring them back before you forget them.
This directory began from a community-built list of free language resources, a year of collecting and checking by Joanna (u/chlebka) and dozens of contributors who suggested links, shared freely. See the original list. We have since expanded, re-checked and re-categorised it, and we keep the per-resource credits where the original list recorded them.
