Learning how to count in Greek is as essential as learning how to tie your shoelaces. When you know how to count in Greek, you can practice haggling with the locals when buying souvenirs and whatnot, which is by the way a very common practice in many flea markets all over Greece.

On the other hand, when you know how to tie your shoelaces, you can make sure that your laces are tightly tied so you can walk around the streets all over Greece freely, without tripping and falling over in random directions.

It may not seem like it, but there’s value in learning how to count basic numbers in your target language. This skill is not just some silly math lesson that should be forgotten after elementary school, and that’s because we’re always counting and using numbers in different ways. So if you want to learn and improve your skills in Greek, start learning how to count Greek numbers.
