AkouReal spoken Greek
Learn how people really speak, not how a textbook thinks they speak.
Made for iPhone · Everyday Greek, not textbook Greek
Τι λέει;
what’s up?
Beyond literal
A dictionary gives you the words. It rarely gives you what someone actually meant. Akou shows you both, and the gap between them is where the language really lives.
Try a phrase
Τι λέει;
A casual greeting between friends. Literally, τι λέει; looks like ‘what does it say?’, but naturally it’s closer to ‘what’s up?’ or ‘how’s it going?’
What you get
Everything you learn comes from the way Greeks actually talk to each other, not sentences written to demonstrate a grammar rule.
Learn the phrase a Greek speaker would reach for, instead of translating your English sentence word by word.
Who says this, to whom, and when it would land wrong. The part textbooks leave out.
Hear where the stress falls and how words run together at real speed, so you recognise them in the wild.
The expressions that fill ordinary days, like ordering, arranging, reacting and joking, rather than airport vocabulary.
How Akou works
No streaks to protect, no grammar tables to memorise. Just a loop that turns something you heard into something you can say.
Something you heard, read, or were sent. Type it in or listen to it in the app.
Akou explains the real meaning and tone, not just a literal word-for-word translation.
See the phrasing a Greek speaker would actually use, and when it fits.
Keep the phrases you care about so they come back to you when you need them.
On your iPhone
Akou lives in your pocket, where real Greek actually happens: mid conversation, mid message, mid menu.
Akou
The name
It’s what a Greek speaker says when they want you to pay attention and really hear them.
That’s the idea behind Akou: learn Greek by hearing how people actually use it.
Akou is built for real, spoken, everyday Greek: the kind you hear at the table, not the kind you find in chapter one.
