Modern Greek for beginners
Learn Greek from stories you can actually follow.

- Built for A1 beginners
- Every story narrated
- Tap any word for help
- Every story labeled: who wrote it, whose voice reads it
How it works
One story a day. Three small steps.
Read and listen
The narrator's voice moves through the text with you, sentence by sentence. Slow it down or show the English line whenever you need it.
Tap what you don't know
Each word shows its meaning in this sentence and its form, so you learn why της means "her" here.
Practice what you met
Translate and drill the grammar with sentences from the story you just read. Words come back for review later.
Read and listen
Hear it, see it, follow along.
A soft sun-colored highlight follows the narrator, so your eyes and ears stay on the same words. Focus mode clears everything but the story.
- Replay any sentence with one tap
- English on demand, never in the way
- Three reading themes, including a dark one for night
Word help
Understand why, not just what.
Tap a word and Milaki shows the meaning it has in this sentence, then the pattern behind it, starting from words in the story rather than a grammar lecture.
- Meaning in context, with the dictionary form
- Full verb and noun tables when you want them
- Save any word to review with one tap
Practice and review
Practice made from the story you just read.
Tiles or typing, grammar drills, sounds and spelling training, review cards and printable worksheets.
Clear labels
You always know who made what.
Every story is labeled twice: who wrote the text, and whose voice reads it. Today most stories are written with AI and not yet reviewed by a person, and the label says so. As people write, review and narrate more stories, their labels change too.
iPhone and web
Read on your phone. Study at your desk.
Milaki works on iPhone and in any modern browser, with a wider reading layout on the desktop.
Android is planned. Available in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
Pricing
Start free. Keep going when you're ready.
Review is free forever: every word you save, on a calm, good-looking flashcard deck you never have to build yourself. Milaki Plus is one subscription that opens every story, with practice and worksheets for each, including every language Milaki adds later. Prices in US dollars; local prices in Canada, Australia and New Zealand are set by the App Store.

Questions
Good questions, short answers.
Do I need to know the Greek alphabet first?
No. Every word is read aloud, and the sounds and spelling training covers the letters that trip people up, like η, ι and υ all sounding the same.
What level is Milaki for?
Beginners. Today's stories are written for A1, the first level. More levels follow as the library grows.
Is the content made by AI?
Much of it, today, and each story says so.
Do I need an account?
No. You can study without one, and your progress stays on your device.
Where is Milaki available?
The United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. More countries will follow.
How do I cancel a subscription?
In your Apple Account settings on iPhone, under Subscriptions. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Your first story is waiting.
"Καλή αρχή" means "good start." You'll read it in context soon.
