Γεια σας! I’m Tori, and I have been learning Greek for a little while now and I thought that creating this profile would help both myself in tracking my progress and others who might have had difficulties finding Modern Greek resources. I plan on posting my notes, flash cards, vocab lists, interesting stuff I come across in my text books, and just Greek related stuff I find interesting. So, if any of that stuff sounds interesting please follow so that we can learn from each other💙🤍💙
