Best Apps to Practice Speaking Greek

The best Greek speaking app depends on who answers you. Pimsleur, Glossika and Language Transfer give you set prompts to answer aloud, Erla and Talkpal answer you with an AI, and HelloTalk, italki, Preply and Tandem put you in touch with people. This page compares what you say aloud in each app, what feedback comes back and what stays free. It covers Modern Greek only. For courses and reading, see our Greek app comparison.

Ask Poppy in Greek

Bubblegum

For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Greek. You learn from Greek you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.

Tell Poppy, your AI tutor, your level and what you like, and she writes your Greek lessons. If a sentence is hard to follow, ask Poppy to explain it, or ask her to roleplay a conversation with you.

With Regenerative Review™, words you save show up again in new lessons, so that you can review words in new contexts without having to use flashcards.

Get Bubblegum ↓

  • Greek lessons are written at your level, and Poppy explains hard sentences in English.
  • Ask Poppy to roleplay a conversation, or ask her questions about any lesson.
  • Saved words come back in new lessons through Regenerative Review™, and you can send them to Anki too.
  • Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
  • Learn every letter in the free Greek Alphabet course, with a picture to help you remember each one.
  • Bubblegum focuses on reading and listening more than speaking, so for a talk with a person you'll need a tutor or exchange app.

        Common Questions

        Which Greek speaking app should a beginner choose?

        If you are serious about learning Greek, start with Bubblegum. Poppy, your AI tutor, writes lessons at your level about things you like. Or choose Pimsleur if you want to say Greek aloud from the first lesson with an English guide, or Language Transfer if you want a free audio course.

        What is the difference between a set prompt and a conversation?

        Pimsleur, Glossika and Language Transfer ask you to say lines they have chosen. Erla and Talkpal talk back to you as AI partners, and HelloTalk, italki, Preply and Tandem put a person on the other side.

        Language Transfer's Complete Greek is free audio in English. HelloTalk and Tandem have free basic exchange with paid upgrades, and Pimsleur and Glossika offer a trial before payment.
