Glossika Greek App
Greek for Advanced Learners
Systems: iPhone App, Online Version
Suitable for: Intermediate and advanced learners
Content: Greek advanced exercises
Prices: USD 17 (1 month and 1 language), USD 31 (1 month and all 64 languages)
Overall Value: 
The Glossika app is for people who already have some basic proficiency in Greek or already know a similar language.
The app has an entry test to determine your Greek proficiency level. You can start from A1 to B2 (beginners and intermediate).
Glossika works with whole sentences instead of single Greek words. You can choose which topics you want to learn.
This app has intentionally no "gamification". The only exercises are reading, listening, typing the sentences and speaking into the microphone.
There are also no grammar explanations. You are supposed to understand Greek grammar from the context, like in Rosetta Stone.
You can try the complete app with all 64 languages for 7 days for free (without providing payment information).
Summary: Effective exercises for advanced learners, but somewhat higher price and not much variety.

How does Greek learning with Rosetta Stone work?
Rosetta Stone has a different approach to language learning than many other online courses or language apps such as Duolingo, Memrise and others.
The idea behind Rosetta Stone is to learn a language like you did as a child - by using pictures in combination with listening, speaking, and reading.
Each Rosetta Stone lesson includes the following exercises:
- Pronounce the words or phrases correctly (speech recognition)
-
When reading or hearing a word, click on the correct picture
-
When looking at a picture, click on the correct word
-
Type in a spoken word correctly, etc.
A possible disadvantage of Rosetta Stone is that there are no grammar explanations or translations of the Greek vocabulary.
Instead, you are supposed to learn the grammar and the meaning of words from the context or recognize the meaning from the pictures.
Rosetta Stone Apps and Online Version:
The Rosetta Stone Greek learning software can be used online with a subscription for 3 or 12 months or with a Lifetime Access.
In addition to the online version, there are now also Rosetta Stone apps for iPhones and Android smartphones.
Summary: Time-tested method, but the lack of grammar explanations and translations may make Rosetta Stone not suitable for everyone.

LingQ Greek App
Innovative Approach to Learn Greek
Systems: Android and iOS Apps, Online-Version (PC and Mac)
Suitable for: Beginners, intermediate, advanced learners, students, professionals
Content: Video and text lessons, browser extension to import any Greek texts, vocabulary trainer
Price: USD 10 (1 month subscription)
Overall Value:
The LingQ Greek App is basically a translation program that is combined with a personalized vocabulary trainer.
In addition to the lessons and texts that are included in this app, any Greek text can be imported. LingQ has its own browser extension for Firefox, Safari and Chrome to import texts (including ebooks).
You can click on any word in the texts to see a translation and this adds the word to your personal vocabulary trainer.
LingQ also has many videos and podcasts, the content of which appears as a text next to the video or podcast — so that any word there can be clicked on and saved as well.
Unfortunately, there are no grammar lessons, meaning that this app will not suffice on its own to learn Greek.
Summary: Very interesting way to learn Greek vocabulary on any subject. However, you need other apps for Greek grammar and conjugations.
Duolingo Greek App
Well-Known Language Learning App
Systems: Android App, iOS App, PC and Mac
Content: Exercises with native-speaker audio
Prices: Free (with ads), USD 12.99 (1 month), USD 60 (12 months)
Overall Value: 
The Duolingo App offers beginner language courses for 36 languages, including Greek. Duolingo covers mostly the basics as well as some intermediate level Greek vocabulary.
The major drawback of Duolingo (just like Rosetta Stone) is that there are no grammar explanations.
The vocabulary learning with Duolingo is "gamified", which means it is structured like a game with levels, experience points, achievements, etc.
The interface is relatively similar to the apps from Mondly and Babbel (Babbel has no Greek course).
Summary: The vocabulary trainer and the exercises of the program are okay. However, it is not possible to learn Greek grammar with this app.
Clozemaster Greek
Exercises for Advanced Learners
Systems: Android and iOS Apps, Online Version
Suitable for: Intermediate and Advanced Learners
Content: Multiple-choice selection of missing words in sentences (with native speaker audio)
Prices: USD 8 (1 month), USD 60 (12 months), USD 140 (lifetime access)
Overall Value:
The Clozemaster app is intended for intermediate and advanced learners who have already mastered the basic vocabulary and want to practice.
The only exercise is to choose the correct missing word in a sentence from a list of four words. The translation of the sentence is displayed as well. At the end, the sentence is also spoken by a native speaker.
In the English version of this app there are 70 languages to choose from.
Large languages have up to 50,000 vocabulary items (words, phrases, and verb variations), while smaller languages often have only 500.
In the online version, you can also type in the missing words. The smartphone app now offers speech recognition.
Summary: An interesting method that is quite fun. Since many apps teach only at a beginner level, this is a good addition for advanced users.
Memrise Greek App
App with User-Generated Lessons
Systems: Android App, iPhone App, Online-Version (PC and Mac)
Content: Greek lessons and vocabulary trainer with native speaker audio, grammar
Prices: USD 8,99 (1 month), USD 60 (12 months), USD 110 (unlimited)
Overall Value:
With the Memrise App you can learn over 90 languages.
This includes even very small languages - however, in such cases the language courses are often limited to just a few lessons.
One special feature of the Memrise learning app is the large number of lessons created by users (native speakers).
The quality of these lessons varies greatly though. For example, only the basic forms of verbs are usually taught, without the conjugations. Some languages also do not have an audio recording of the words at all.
Another good idea of the Memrise app are the user-generated tips and mnemonics for each word to help you memorize them.
Summary: User-generated lessons are a good idea. In practice, the quality of the lessons leaves a lot be desired.
Mango Greek App
Includes Grammar
Systems: Android and iOS Apps, Online Version
Content: Greek lessons with native speaker audio, grammar, culture
Prices: USD 7.99 (1 month), USD 80 (1 year),
USD 18 (1 month and 70 languages), USD 180
(1 year and 70 languages)
Overall Value:
The Mango Languages App offers 70 languages, including Greek.
This app also has some grammar lessons and cultural explanations. The explanations in English are all recorded and well done.
However, the number of lessons for learning Greek is quite small, which means that this app is only suitable for absolute beginners.
There are no exercises, except for the repeated vocabulary tests.
You can also record your own pronunciation in the app and compare it with the recording of a native speaker.
Summary: Good quality, but not much vocabulary. Only for absolute Greek beginners.
Lingo Greek App
Playful Greek Learning
Systems: Android and iPhone Apps, Online Version (PC and Mac)
Content: Greek lessons and exercises
Prices: USD 19.99 (1 month), USD 40 (3 months), USD 60 (6 months)
Overall Value: 
The Lingo Play App offers language courses for 70 languages. It offers "gamified learning", which means learning vocabulary in a playful way.
Each Greek lesson offers the following exercises:
-
Presentation of new words with translation and image
-
Decide whether a Greek word matches the image
-
Select one of four pictures that matches a word
-
Type in the Greek word for a picture
-
Correctly type in a spoken Greek word
In the full version this app offers up to 5000 Greek words. The interface of the app is similar to Babbel, Duolingo or Mondly.
There is also a multiplayer mode and competitions where you can test your Greek skills against other people.
Summary: Overpriced Greek course that does offer some good exercises, but is not better than other similar apps.
Drops Greek App
Alternative to Babbel and Duolingo
Systems: Android App, iPhone App, Online-Version (PC and Mac)
Content: Greek lessons and exercises with native-speaker audio
Prices: USD 13.30 (1 month), USD 72 (12 months), USD 164 (unlimited)
Overall Value:
The Language Drops App is most notable for having 47 target languages and 40 source languages, similar to Mondly.
You can learn about 3000 Greek words and phrases with this app. However, there are hardly any exercises, except for introducing a new word and matching the word to a picture.
You can choose from which topics you want to learn new words and at what skill level you want to learn (whether you know the language somewhat).
If you want to try the app for free for two weeks you have to provide your payment information and then cancel it.
The "deal" you get when you sign up for the free trial is more than 3 times as expensive as when you click "Get Premium" on the website (USD 38 per month instead of USD 13.30 per month).
Summary: No variety, no grammar and only 3000 words. Does not justify the higher price, even though you get access to all languages.
Pimsleur Greek Course
Most Expensive Software to Learn Greek
Systems: PC and Mac (incl. Mobile App)
Suitabe for: Beginners, advanced, students, travel vocabulary
Content: Greek vocabulary, lessons with native-speaker audio and speech recognition
Price: USD 120 (basic course)
Overall Value:
The Pimsleur App is very similar to Rosetta Stone in that it does not give grammar explanations, verb conjugation tables, etc.
Instead, the Pimsleur method is supposed to let you learn the Greek language intuitively, just like your native language - by combining pictures, reading and speaking (speech recognition).
Pimsleur offers only a beginner course for Greek. It contains 30 daily lessons of 30 minutes each and various interactive exercises.
This Greek learning course for PCs and Macs also includes a mobile app for Android and iOS systems.
Summary: The most expensive Greek course, even though it is unlikely that learning with it is much better than with the cheaper apps.
