I love your podcast. I'm learning Modern Greek at University, but it's not as interesting and clear as you make it.

Good work, but too difficult for ners 
The concept of this podcast is not good. It is meant for ners, but they will not be able to use it without instructions of a teacher, because it is only in Greek. But perhaps in wasn't meant otherwise?

Learning greek? 
Sounds like a good idea, but with the podcast being in greek only, without translations on the transcript, which is pdf and therefore not easily translatable this is rather useless.
