What unlocks for free after sign-up
Grammar in short blocks
A2–B2 topics split into 5–7 minute lessons: rule in plain words, mini quiz, link to a related topic. No need to read a 400-page textbook.
Go to topics →Reading with tap-to-translate
Texts adapted by level. Any unknown word — tap to see the translation in a tooltip. Comprehension questions in exam style, but without a stopwatch.
Start reading →Verbs trainer
Conjugation across 5 tenses and 6 persons, irregulars like βλέπω → είδα, a separate session for «weak» forms. Free in both Telegram and the browser.
Train verbs →Phrasebook by scenarios
Not «1000 phrases in a list» — ready-made dialogues: book a doctor, ask for directions, enrol a child in school, order in a taverna. Each scenario has a few short exercises.
Open scenarios →Describe a picture
A set of pictures with key vocabulary and a sample description in Greek. Train your spoken Greek at home — on the exact part that comes up in the B1/B2 exam.
Browse pictures →Cyprus history & culture
Only what is actually asked on the citizenship exam, and what stops you from feeling like a tourist: symbols, holidays, key dates.
Open culture →Why Telegram + browser specifically

How many sessions per week — your call
There's no «mandatory program», no penalty for missing a day. Pick a pace at which you actually won't quit.
Background
5–7 minutes at a time: a few word cards and a short phrasebook bit over coffee. Goal — don't quit, hold on for 30 days.
Systematic
20 minutes a day: vocabulary, one grammar topic and a short reading text. In 2–3 months you handle shops and street talk confidently.
Exam push
All modules in rotation plus review. Goal — close A2 or B1 citizenship requirements in a few months.

Frequently asked questions
The full free Greek course is available in the Telegram bot GreekMentorBot: alphabet, reading, 700+ words with audio, verb conjugation in 5 tenses, and spaced repetition of weak forms. The same content works in the browser on the website — no download, no subscription, no ads.
The «Cyprus History & Culture» module covers 5 key citizenship-exam topics: geography, politics, history, culture and public services — 224 auto-graded questions with material in Russian and Greek. Weak topics are repeated via SRS, and you can study 10 minutes a day in the Telegram bot or on the website — no subscription.
No catch. The project grows as an educational platform without ads or data resale. Future paid add-ons may appear (deep oral-speech grading), but the core modules stay free.
Only what you already have. You probably have Telegram installed — that's enough. Alternatively open the site in any browser, log in by email and use the full course without any download.
Yes, that's the whole idea. 5 minutes daily beats 2 hours once every two weeks. Spaced repetition and short tasks are designed for micro-sessions.
Yes. You can start at the very beginning: alphabet, reading, simple words. Every card has a translation and audio, you don't need any prior knowledge.
Content is identical, syncing is instant. Telegram is handier on a phone and on the move; the site is better for laptops and longer texts. Mix and match.
Up to A2–B1 — yes, absolutely. For confident spoken Greek a tutor still helps, but by then you already know grammar and 700+ words, so paid lessons give noticeably more value.
No. GreekMentor is not an official examination center and does not issue certificates. It is an independent learning service that helps you practice regularly and prepare for exam-style tasks.
