I know many of you needed something like this, so I've decided to make a video about the 50 most common Greek verbs. This is a pure vocabulary lesson, no grammar involved. It is ideal for beginners, who take Greek lessons with a teacher and they need a list of verbs to organize their studying, or for those who learn Greek without a teacher and need a place to start.
So, without further ado, watch this video and if you like it give it a thumbs up! Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel "Learn Greek with Lina", for more videos like this!
Under the video, I give you the list of the verbs with the examples, so that you can print them on paper if it is easier for your studying.
