As someone who has been trying to master the difficult language of Greek, I began to look for new ways to help widen my vocabulary and master more complex Greek words. My mathematical brain began to notice patterns and I decided to create characters to help remember the meanings of Greek prefixes. Each prefix's character demonstrates the meaning of the prefix and my brain found it easier to remember characters rather than abstract words. I created over 50 videos and began sharing them in the Learn Greek Doodle-Bonds Facebook group. As members of the group grew more enthusiastic about the method, I widened it to include suffixes and then word families.
For over a year I have been creating and sharing free content and was encouraged by the group to collect them together and publish them as books. Here are some reviews of Learn Greek Doodle-Bonds...

'So logical and helpful for someone with basic knowledge of Greek. A great way to build vocabulary.' Tom
'This learning method has sparked so many “lightbulb moments” for me, especially when it comes to connecting words, even some Greek ones I’ve known for a long time! The videos are fun and engaging, while the worksheets are wonderfully thorough and super helpful. I’ve already recommended this (currently a Facebook page) to other Greek learners—and even to a few non-Greek learners—because it’s just that good!' Lani
'Hilary’s Doodle-Bonds have really helped me to remember lots of words. And even work out new words for myself. Having an actual understanding of how the words are made up is such a great way of learning (and remembering) vocabulary.' Denny
'Very logical way, makes it easier to remember words and meanings.' Danielle
'This method has been so useful for me, breaking down the words in a logical fashion has enabled me to make a lot more sense out of living day to day in Greece!' Kathryn
'Such useful tips. I now know that anything ending in ειο is where something happens. I just didn't realise before.' Trish
