Work

The world of work 💼

This module teaches the Greek words for **jobs and workplaces**. Every word comes with three things: the **Greek script** (with its article ο, η or το), a **transliteration** in brackets to help you say it, and the **English meaning**. You will not type in Greek here - you will recognise the words and their meanings. (A native speaker should review the script before launch.)

The grade-9 habit 🌟

For the top marks, keep **two groups of words** clear and linked. First, the **jobs** - who someone is: ο γιατρός (o giatros) doctor, ο δάσκαλος (o daskalos) teacher, ο μηχανικός (o michanikos) engineer, ο οδηγός (o odigos) driver. Second, the **workplaces** - where they work: το νοσοκομείο (to nosokomeio) hospital, το σχολείο (to scholeio) school, το γραφείο (to grafeio) office. Learn each with its article, script AND transliteration, and you will recognise them instantly in the exam.
