About this course

Greek With Pops

You can speak Greek on your first morning in Athens. Not read it, not memorize tables, speak it. Greek With Pops is a sixteen-chapter spoken course: an English guide explains one small idea, a native Greek speaker says it, you say it yourself in the pause, and the course quietly builds that idea into the next one until you are making sentences you were never taught as sentences. Greek rewards the ear: put the stress on the right syllable and people understand you, so this course teaches every line the way Athenians actually say it.

The course follows a traveler through Greece: arriving in Athens, the metro and the Acropolis, the taverna and the price at the market, the road to Nafplio, the ferry from Piraeus to Santorini, small talk with the people you meet, a pharmacy when you need one, and a last chapter on Crete that gathers everything together. It is voiced by native Greek speakers, a man and a woman, in standard Modern Greek as spoken in Athens.

Compiled and edited by Pops. The narration is produced with digital voices.
