About
Skepsis is a free, open-source game that teaches the Greek roots, myths and big ideas hiding in everyday English, in 3-minute lessons.
Why Greek? When you know what words really mean, you use language more precisely and think in a more structured way. Democracy is people + power, hubris is the overreach before the fall, and ethos, pathos and logos are the three ways people try to persuade you. That helps you notice when language is being used on you, and tell good from bad.
I'm trying to help Texans learn Greek, so every word comes with a Texas example (rodeo is Spanish, but squirrel is secretly Greek).
33 short lessons and 93 roots and ideas, with guess-first questions, spaced review and a speed round called Rodeo. No account, no ads, MIT licensed: https://github.com/ionpetro/skepsis
