Hello Omilo-team

I would like to share how much I love your materials! Really and truly, I learn so much from them.
Sometimes I’m too quick to read them once and move on, when I should stick with one story longer, practicing it longer.
I have just about everything from your site. I really enjoyed the easy short story #12, about Φάνης και Ντίλαν. It made me laugh.

Thank you for all the work you all do to help us learn the beloved Greek language!

Regards, Lisa Efthymiou, USA

Since a few years my study-buddy and I practice Greek together via Skype. Now that we have reached a certain level in grammar, reading, writing and speaking, we find it important to make listening a spearhead. Because listening and understanding what is being said is the most difficult thing in a foreign language. But we want to practice in a fun way. Omilo’s Podcasts offer us that opportunity. They are fun stories, to listen to at different speeds. The stories are spoken by professional native speaker in a very nice way, so nice to listen to, and the exercises in the Notebook give us the depth we need. In addition, we also have a lot of fun with Figame sta ellinika. Fun listening exercises and varied challenging assignments. This keeps us motivated to keep improving our Greek. Thank you, Omilo!
