be fluent in greek

If plans work out, I’ll be in Greece by July after I finish summer classes and before the start of a new, long school year. It will be an awesome vacation and, hopefully I’ll be able to chat conversationally with the Greek locals by then. My learning tool of choice is a Modern Greek collection of 5 cds that I rented from the library. I listen to them while i’m driving which is great because i live about 30 minutes away from school and it gives me a lot of time to practice.

Almost everyone in my family is Greek. It’s really hard to talk to most of my relatives because of the language gap. I’ve been wanting to learn Greek since first grade but I never got past simple phrases. That’s why I’m going to try and stick to it and finally learn Greek before I go visit Greece next year.
