Γεια σου Qiseana,
Thank you for commenting. You mean understanding spoken Greek? Don't worry much about that, it will come with time. Just listen all our Greek audios and videos, if necessary several times, until you are absolutely sure you understand it. And repetition makes perfect! Never rush to a new lesson until you haven't mastered the vocabulary and grammar for that particular lesson. You will advance slower, sure, but you will definitely master Greek!! 😉
Good luck! We are here for you if you have any questions along the way!
Best,

Awesome, thank you so much. Im a little concerned about learning to understand from another.
Hi Michael,
Thank you for contacting us.
Are you lowering the speed in a lesson but still have trouble following? How long have you been studying Greek? Is articulation the problem or speed? Keep in mind that the vocabulary lists don't have a slower version for the entries, but we are planning on adding the feature in the near future due to feedback such as yours. For the moment, you can add the entries in the Word Bank and slow them down there.
As for your request regarding the Basic Greek Resources, do you mean that you need access to this page?

to say the truth i feel very frustrated. I tried to lower the speed while listening. But yet it is to much for me. Do you have any good advice for me?
or I must to struggle by myself until I shall be able to get used to the Greek unusual speed of talking (-: ?
In this occasion I have a request. In the daily mail "word of the day" I have found a section named "Basic Greek resources",
only on the apple tablet. I would like to have it on the pc as well. I found it a very practical tool as reminder of the basics of the Greek grammar.
Any assistance will be appreciated
All the best

Hi Christopher,
The shadowing technique is simply when you repeat something after the speaker says something. For that, you need to have some audio materials (you get plenty of that here on GreekPod101!) and some transcript for extra help. So you hear a word, phrase or sentence and repeat it trying to sound as closely as possible to the audio.
All the best,

Hi,
What is the shadowing technique please?
Christopher.
Hi L,
Thank you for contacting us.
Because we all speak at different speeds as you said, our site's audio and video player comes with a speed button, so you can slow down the playback speed and make it easier to watch and listen.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,

It seems in some of your videos, Chrissi talks ridiculously fast. I know we all speak different speeds, but this is supposed to be a learning tool. I hope one day I can speak that fast in English let alone Greek!
Hi AmrMsd,
That's excellent! I hope I can get to see you writing in Greek soon😉!
All the best,

I apply almost all of your fifteen ways to learn a language and this is also correct for Greek.
Hello Isabel,

Thank you for posting.

Different methods suit different levels. For me as a beginner listening to music and listening out for root words are helpful
Brilliant advice.
Thank you
Helena
