I distinctly remember the day when Adoni K. (one of the three co-creators of Greektionary.com) conveyed to us his vision of a website that would attempt to teach the Greek language to all interested parties in an intuitive and enjoyable manner. Pete H. (the other co-creator) and I, were instantly persuaded to go along for the ride.
After drinking a few beers and consuming a couple of gyros each, the idea for the original website layout, slowly but surely, started to materialize on one of the napkins on our table. We decided to present our visitors with three Greek words on a daily basis. We also decided to split the words up into beginner, intermediate and advanced categories. Initially, we only created an audio recording of the words themselves. Later on, after a few of you kindly requested that we also record the Greek phrases, we modified the recording to include both the word and the phrase.
Since the beginning, Greektionary.com has had tremendous support from people all over the world! We greatly appreciate all the comments and ideas that you have all expressed to us over the years. It is those suggestions and ideas that have led us to completely revamp our website. We intend to offer more content, as well as, tons of free and informative links, videos, audio files, articles etc. Keep those ideas flowing!
