HSC Modern Greek — reading, writing and grammar practice

Continuers or Beginners, the HSC asks you to read unfamiliar Greek, write to a prompt and speak without notes. This is graded practice for the written half, free at the entry level, on your phone between classes.

Free · 3 minutes · no card

Unfamiliar texts, graded to your level

Sixty myths and dozens of readings in Greek that rises with you — the closest thing to the unseen texts the paper puts in front of you, with vocabulary support while you need it.

A grammar reference you can search

91 notes from the alphabet to Γ2 register, each with an interactive drill. Written to be looked up when a question stumps you, not read cover to cover.

Six timed mock exams, marked instantly

Sitting a paper against a clock is a separate skill from knowing the language. These are free, repeatable, and marked automatically with explanations.

What this covers

  • Reading — 67 graded texts and myths with comprehension items across six CEFR levels.
  • Writing — 131 extended-writing prompts with marked feedback.
  • Grammar and vocabulary — 91 grammar notes with drills, plus 49 vocabulary decks.

What it does not cover yet

  • Listening — No native recordings exist yet, so the listening paper is not trained here.
  • Speaking — Available only through one-to-one lessons, in the Sydney evening.

The written half of the HSC, practised properly — with A1 and every mock exam free.

Questions HSC students ask

Is this a NESA course?

No, and there is no affiliation with NESA. It is independent graded practice — reading, grammar, writing and timed exams — built to develop skills the HSC assesses. It supplements your school and Saturday School of Community Languages work.

Will it prepare me for the listening and speaking papers?

Not the listening paper — we have no native audio yet. Speaking only through the live lessons. What it does prepare thoroughly is reading, grammar and written expression.

I am a background speaker. Is A1 too easy?

Probably for listening, and possibly not for writing — that gap is normal for heritage speakers. Take the free placement test; it looks at all skills rather than assuming.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes, and you can install it to your home screen and keep working offline — useful on the train.

How much is it?

A1 and every mock exam are free. Full access is 8 CHF a month, cancellable in one click.
