Γεια σας! Με λένε Johanna and I've been studying Greek on and off (more off than on) for about 2 years. I'm still very much a beginner, hoping to be conversational by the summer now that I'm finally gonna study it on a regular basis.
Currently, I'm only using Duolingo and Mango Languages, but I plan on re-starting Hippocrene's Beginner's Greek, Michel Thomas and the F-L-R course. I've also started Goldlisting some of the sentences from Duo and Mango.
What I'm missing right now is some TV shows to watch. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Modern Greek Study Group
Welcome to the group, Johanna. Wishing you all the best in your Greek journey - I just finished the Michel Thomas yesterday and found it really useful. I was interested to read that you use the Goldlist method, as it has served me very well over the past 2-3 years, especially with writing Greek and some Russian by hand.

Χαρά αγνοείται is a great series, probably one of the best I've seen so far.

I used to do (and still do) Lucas's bi-translation method, but once I translated back into my TL I never saw those sentences again. The GM gives me some continuation for those sentences. I consider it a must for languages with a different writing system.

Benvenuto/a Sunday! Sounds like we started at very nearly the same time. I've done LT and I'm now using Living Language. What's the Assimil course like?

Good for vocabulary and practice. I would say it requires some pre-existing grammar knowledge or the difficulty spikes up too quickly. Dialogues are not super exciting but still ok!

Sounds pretty similar to Living Language then. I'm very glad I did Language Transfer first.
