Learn Greek Vocabulary — Alphabet to Conversation, Systematically
Greek has been spoken for 3,500 years — it gave us democracy, philosophy, and 30% of scientific English vocabulary. Whether you're moving to Greece, connecting with heritage, or simply want to read menus in Santorini, vocabulary is your foundation. WordPlus makes Greek systematic: alphabet, audio, and spaced repetition in one place.
The Problem
Greek uses its own alphabet (24 letters, different from Latin). Most learners quit in the first week because they can't even read the words they're trying to learn.
How WordPlus Solves It
WordPlus shows transliteration (Latin alphabet phonetic spelling) alongside Greek script and audio for every word, so you can build vocabulary while learning the alphabet simultaneously — instead of treating them as separate obstacles.

Why Greek Is Hard to Learn
The Greek alphabet must be learned before reading is possible. Greek has 3 grammatical genders, cases, and a verb system with multiple tenses and moods. But Greek roots appear in ~30% of English scientific vocabulary — making it uniquely rewarding for technical professionals.
