Introduction: What I mean by "vocabulary"

I do not perceive vocabulary as the act of learning single words. Yes, sometimes, you do need to memorise single words, if you have no choice. Yet if you want to develop fluency in Greek, you need to learn word groups, i.e., words that go together and sound natural when pronounced together. If you learn word groups instead of single words, you will soon develop a bank of phrases, which you will be able to revert to, whenever you need to produce language quickly. The process of speech becomes easier. You do not need to think too much about what individual words to use, because you have already learned many small groups.

For example, if I am learning English, I can choose to study this word group: I am looking forward to.
By knowing this verbal phrase (or group), I can easily produce more sentences such as I am looking forward to my class/the trip, etc. Yet if I study this group as individual words, then I have to study all these words on a list: I am (= είμαι) + look (κοιτάζω) + forward (μπροστά) + to (προς).  Worse, I do not have the "ready-made" phrase to use when I need to.

So, in this blog, you will not only learn about individual words but also about sets of words, i.e., words that naturally go together. Perhaps this is not the "traditional" way that you learned a foreign language at school, but it is an effective way to develop a vocabulary bank and fluency.
