hi guys, I am a native greek speaker, and I have just applied to duolingo to contribute towards creating a greek course. I hope they take me up on the offer :)

I would like to see Greek too. It would be my next language :-)

I would LOVE to learn Greek. I am Greek(distantly) but I live in an English speaking only family so I never got to learn

UPDATE: Since I wrote this post a year ago, I feel it is my place to let you guys all know. THEY HAVE STARTED THE INCUBATION PHASE! We will have Greek soon!

All languages are being applied to via the Incubator page. Find that here: http://incubator.duolingo.com/apply

That would be the best thing! I love Greek!

Me too! Bring on the Greek :)

It has been requested, and it will eventually happen through the incubator. You just need to be patient!

Dying to get started on Greek but still no updates on the page :( Anyone know what's going on?

Could you also do new testament greek? That would be cool!

French was my second choice to Greek. But I really love duolingo so I would be so happy if we picked it up.

I would love to see Greek, when can we expect it?

I see Klingon and Dothraki but no Elvish?!

Yes, Greek Please! I've been waiting. The greek rosetta stone is not great. Duolingo Modern Greek will be sooooo much better and easier to use. PLEASE release a greek for english speakers!

Hello, I am learning German right now, but I would love to see a course of Greek language as soon as possible. I adore everything that comes from Greece. Their language, food, and music especialy. Greetings from Serbia! :)

Hi Luigi.rodino,

I was wondering if it was possible to request languages?

Here what Duo says about it in its Help Center: "How can I suggest a new language course?”

If you want to make a [course] suggestion, we encourage you to visit the forums and making a search for suggestions that have been made in the past, and adding your vote and comments to those existing posts. That will make the request more popular and make it stand out more, encouraging more people to add their votes. :)

Note: Texts in between square brackets are additions of mine.

I would like to see Greek too

same, i really want to learn Greek!!

Yes!!! That would be sweet. Then i could go to greece and speak greek!

Do please add Greek! My partner is greek and I need to learn to speak to her family properly. Rosetta stone just doesn't work as well as Duolingo

Ya learning Greek would be awesome. My uncle is Greek so it be cool to learn the language, even if I'm not genetically Greek

Yep, totally behind this too, if there's somewhere we vote on this or something, I'll get completely behind this!

I would love it if greek was added to duolingo

Greek was available on the iphone app version of Duolingo, about a year ago. They must have taken it back down to create the full lessons? Or it was just in beta when I was using it? Either way, I'm excited for the Greek!

I WANT TO LEARN GREEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah i am really into greek mythology and would love to learn the language

Is this proceeding? Would love to study Greek here!

I'm so so so excited that they have started a Greek team, but it won't be out until January 2018!!! Is this usually how long it takes to make each language course??

Will this be a course on modern or ancient Greek. I am more concerned with the study of ancient texts and my limited knowledge on the subject is that there is a difference between the Greek Aristotle used, and the Greek used today.

Please, make Greek available!!! want to be able to speak greek in my 2016 vacations in Greece. Greek people are more welcoming if you talk in greek.! please!!!

they need time to teach Greek languagesI don't know why

Very late, but it should be up in a few days!

when will they bring Greek language on duolingo

It's been pushed back twice now with no update. >_< I wish they would at least tell us what's going on. I'm so excited about this course, but it's been a roller coaster!

It would be nice if the greek course could be released in time. Actually the release date is on 15 june, but its still missing.

LET ME DO GREEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys! When is the Greek (for English speakers) course expected to be released? I'm a native Greek speaker, αλλά ζω στην Αγγλία, και έχω δηλώσει το ενδιαφέρον μου να συνεισφέρω στο "χτίσιμο" των μαθημάτων! For any help, let me know!

Thanks! :)

Mina

Greek Geek!

So...is Greek going to be available anytime soon? The release date set for the beta has already passed. You didn't forget about it, did you? I hope to be able to start the Greek course soon.

Yes!! Learn that is something I also want to learn, greek!!

Yup, Greek would be definetly a great addition to duolingo! It would also be my next language.

Maybe doing Erasmus in Greece, so that would come in handy :)

I would love to speak Greek. My mom (whose entire side of the family is from Greece, although I'm not) has always wanted me to know Greek. I would really love it as well!

It would be so cool if you guys got greek! (new testament)

I can't wait! I am in love with the culture of Greece, so that will make me extremely happy if I could learn the language.

So is there any official news from Duolingo about when or if Greek will become available?

Please help me, I tried to go in as a greek speaker to learn English and now Duolingo thinks I am Greek. I am trapped and cannot find my way back to the English Version of Duolingo!! Help me!!

Thanks 'Luigi.rodino' I am back in English. Thanks very much for your help Grant

Greek would be awesome! <3

I would love it if greek was added to duolingo

Hi I would also like to learn Greek on Duolingo so I am waiting for it impatiently.

I would also like to learn greek

I would like to learn Greek as well. Please make this happen.

I also want to learn Greek. It will be a wonderful addition. Thank you Duolingo

I would be very useful for me if you had Greek available! :)

I studied 2 years of Koine Greek 10 years ago (along with 5 other languages during my degree), so learning modern Greek would be a great way for me to keep my skills alive. (Learning Italian on Babbel and then on here has really helped me remember my Latin too).

I'm currently learning Spanish on here but I know that I would like Greek to be the next language so I'm glad to hear it is in progress :)

Me too. : - ( But it's still in development - so it looks like we have to wait till late November 2016. Meanwhile learn Greek vocab at Memrise. See you back here in Nov 2016.

I would like to see Greek too. I can't wait for a long time-george

Yes, me too. I intend retiring there in a few years to my boat and really want to speak it!

I would really like to learn greek

Nice to see that the completion date has moved closer lately. Is there an ETA on the beta release?

They made one and its on the web.I don't get how to do it on the web.Someone help me!!

Hi I was so looking forward to learning Greek but was disappointed at the content _ the French language course is much more accessible and user friiendky suits every learning style . The Greek is very dry and relies on the user pressing skip to learn the answer before learning the letter or word it also repeats correct answers endlessly

I know greek but I love it so much

thank you Dimetra for the last comment… I found the link and installed Greek keyboard… I'll systems Kalo
