I must confess that my Greek language skills leave a lot to be desired, and we all know that it helps to be able to read Greek when doing our Hellenic family research. That is why I paid special attention when I saw the following Greek On-line language programs in the “Greek News Agenda”.
Three of the five following programs are absolutely FREE. I hope that some of you will find these links helpful.
