About Greek -- Basics -- Practical -- Social -- Food -- Safe travel -- Dictionaries.
Anyone can speak another language! It's all about confidence. Aristotle, Homer, Plato, Sappho, Herodotus and Alexander the Great can't all be wrong in their choice of language - if you've ever come across arcane concepts such as 'democracy', exotic disciplines like 'trigonometry' or a little-known neurosis termed 'the Oedipus complex', then you'll have some inkling of the widespread influence of Greek language and culture. Never get stuck for words with our 3500-word two-way dictionary -- Order the right meal with our menu decoder -- Avoid embarrassing situations with essential tips on culture & manners.
