Language practice

Choose a language, then practise its grammar, vocabulary, culture or writing.

WORKSPACE

Pick a task before a language tab. Choose the language you want to use, then work on one small task. Reading a script, learning a grammar rule and responding in conversation need different practice.

How to use this
  1. Need to speak today?

    Choose a language and start with Survival. Practise the reply as well as the phrase you say first.

  2. Need to read?

    Use Writing systems for recognition, Pronunciation for spelling-to-sound rules, and Kanji + Hanzi for character and word study.

  3. Need to build sentences?

    Read a grammar rule, work through its example, then answer without looking. Check Vocabulary and Culture to see how the words are used.

Try this: Choose German. Find a survival exchange and say both parts aloud. Change one noun using the grammar explanation instead of memorizing a second whole sentence.

You should get: You can make one small variation and explain why the form changes. If you cannot, revisit that rule before adding more phrases.

Know the limit: Track depth varies. A chart is a reference, and recognizing an answer is not the same as producing it in a conversation.

Start with pronunciation
Kanji + Hanzi: character lookup, 214 radicals and stroke practice →

Greek alphabet & polytonic marks

Ἑλληνική
Ancient Greek: language lessons & context

Learn the 24 letters, final sigma, and the breathing and accent marks used in editions of Ancient Greek. Names identify letters; reconstructed sound depends on period.

Greek adapted a Phoenician alphabet and represented vowels explicitly. Polytonic marks in modern editions reflect a later scholarly tradition.

Vowels
ε/ο are short; η/ω are long; α/ι/υ can be short or long.
Read
λόγος → logos. The final letter is ς, the word-final form of σ.
Tradition
Classical φ θ χ are commonly reconstructed as aspirated stops; Modern Greek values differ. No modern device voice is presented as ancient audio.
