How to use the phrasebook

Three practical scenarios — pick what fits your case.

Before a specific situation

10–20 minutes, once

A day before a doctor visit or a trip to the bank — open the matching scenario, read it 2–3 times, listen to the audio. You won't freeze on the spot.

Systematic course

1 scenario per day

One scenario + its exercises a day. In 2–3 months you finish a whole category (say, daily life) and SRS reviews lock it in.

Pre-move intensive

3–5 scenarios a day

In the month before moving you cover the key groups: documents, housing, bank, doctor, school. On the spot you only have to apply it.

Topics you need in Cyprus and Greece every week

The catalog covers exactly the situations any resident or tourist runs into.

  • Shopping: market, supermarket, pharmacy, corner shop — ask for the price, haggle, ask for change

  • Documents: residence permit, bank, rental, utilities — plus ready letter templates

Preparing for the oral exam?

Ready lines from the scenarios are exactly the live Greek that's tested in the oral part.

  • The oral part asks you to handle everyday situations — that's what the phrasebook is about
  • Role-plays (you're the customer, the examiner is the seller) are in the catalog as ready scenarios
  • The «build the sentence» exercises drill word order and grammar patterns
  • A1–B1 levels cover the exam requirements for Cypriot citizenship

It's the browser's speech synthesis (Web Speech API) with a Greek voice. Not a studio recording, but it gives proper stress and intonation — good enough for listening practice.

There's no speech recognition in the module — the app won't grade your pronunciation. But you can listen to the original and repeat aloud — that's a proven way to build confidence.

Google Translate translates what you already thought up. The phrasebook gives whole ready situations — you don't have to invent the structure of the dialogue. Plus exercises to reinforce and spaced reviews.

Yes. The catalog has search by title and a level filter. You can work through only what's planned for this week — say, «doctor + bank + school» — no mandatory programme.

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.
