Just started learning (with a blog)

  Hi guys,

Been with my Cypriot girlfriend for 5 years now, it's about time I started learning Greek! Just started picking up the books and DVDs and tracking progress on my blog (please view it and participate to make this journey less lonely; want to share the burden as best I can!):

Thanks for this site, already proving useful!

  I'd recommend using the Anki flashcard program, which is free apart from on the iPhone where he charges a donation. It has the first two levels of word lists in there already. http://ankisrs.net/

Definitely try to learn the letters. After that, reading is easy. I have made a small flash card list of letters for my wife. I've attached the Anki format version.

Good luck.

  Thanks Ian, this program looks handy and perfect for language learning (esp with your helpful text file). Will have a play around after the download.

Again, everyone please help me learn Greek by visiting and commenting on my blog to make it a much less solitary pursuit!
