learn to speak greek

Today I made a bunch of flash cards with vocabulary words and basic sentences. It’s actually quite helpful. I plan on carrying these with me where ever I go and studying them in my free time.

I’ve been attempting to learn Greek for a couple months now. So far I can hold a basic conversation but I want to speak it fluently. Everyone’s always like “Why the hell do you want to learn to speak Greek? When will you EVER use that?” Honestly, I don’t know but it’s an interesting language that not many people speak fluently and i want to learn.

I can read Greek easily, but I have no clue what I’m reading, so it’s no use.

I want to help my boyfriend learn more with this language and wouldnt mind picking it up myself.

ok, if one more Greek person says to me, “What, you don’t speak Greek? Shame on you!” I am going to shoot myself. Last year I actually got to travel to Greece with my dad. We went to the island he comes from and then to Athens. It was good that the majority of people spoke English and my dad is bilingual or I wouldn’t have known what was going on. Of course most of my relatives did not speak 1 word of our fair tongue and it was hard because we had just met and it would have been nice to have a convo and get to know them. So, I came home, feeling like a complete idiot and vowed to learn Greek. I went out and got some cds and was gung ho for a week – never made it past cd #3 but a new year, another chance to learn more than I already know:
Teekanese, to lemoni, catoreeseese? that means, “hello, the lemon, do you have to pee?”

I believe it is essential to be able to communicate in my home country….

I also know a little (a very little) and would like to become proficient.

i know a little, but i want to learn it to a native speakers level!
