🔥 Why is Greek so difficult and are there ways to learn it the easy way?

The length of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Greek or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, try typing using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Greek out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Greek classes online.
