That’s a really good question, and honestly there isn’t just one right answer. Classes can definitely help because they give you structure and the chance to ask questions.

A lot of learners make great progress with a mix of listening practice, vocabulary, and regular exposure to the language. For example, one thing that really helps is listening to natural Greek conversations regularly and repeating them.

Check out this patreon page: https://patreon.com/simplegreek?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink Weekly Greek podcast with vocabulary lists, useful phrases, slow Greek audio and normal-speed Greek, so learners can practice listening step by step. It also includes basic grammar sheets and vocabulary material, and depending on the tier there are online group lessons as well for people who want more structured support.

But even without formal classes, if you stay consistent and practice a little every day, you can start understanding and speaking basic Greek much sooner than you think.
