learn greek

I want to get Rosetta Stone for Greek. It will take some time to actually get into it, but I think I can do it. I want to go sailing in the Greek islands, and also visit my friend, Thespina’s family in Greece with her. I love the food, the weather, the culture, and the scenery of Greece. Plus, it was the birthplace of Western civilization, so I would love to learn Greek.

Anyone know any good Greek Bible Trivia

Well I decided to learn Greek about two years ago! You see, I had this major crush on this one girl (she was half-Greek) and so in an effort to impress her, I started learning the basics (alphabet, numbers, and greetings). However, I gave up like after a week of battling to remember how to pronounce the words and stress the accents!! It was all Greek to me ^_

Now I have this sudden urge to start from scatch, all over again. There’s just something about the Greek language that I am find so fascinating!

Hopefully this time over I don't give up! Perseverance is the key right? I've found a really cool and helpful website that offers free online courses (with audio clips) for beginners in Greek. It's http://www.kypros.org/LearnGreek They also offer courses of intermediate and advanced learners, as well as courses on Ancient Greek.

I am currently on lesson five on the Greek 101 elementary course. I think that’s pretty good, since I only started yesterdat. By the end of May, I hope to be done with the beginners course, and then I can move onto the next one.

Wish me luck!! Andio

i am greek after all :)

2009!

In Montreal, I grew up in a prodomently Greek neighborhood, so we were always surrouded by it. To the point, when we were small, my brother and sister made up this language called Greeksos to sound just like it. It was a bunch of gibberish but we thought we were cool.( My sisters still talk like that for fun, but the stupid thing is was we understood each other)
But I picked up here and there. Greek culture and food, I feel, is part of my life and I would love to explore it more. I need my gyros with homemade tzaziki, firecrakers at Easter,spanakpita and hot Greek men…..

its exactly what it sounds

I have been struggling for the last 3 years, or a little more to teach myself Greek. I have found Greeks here in Ireland who have tried to help me, I have gone to a beginners class, I have spent the last year and half having private lessons. I have finally got it. I have a passion to learn about my maternal heritage. My grandparents are Greek and moved abroad and there was never a Greek school where I could learn. I am finally going to a language school in Greece this summer. I cant believe I have come this far now!
Any tips for learning vocabulary, of ways to learn more of the local slang and phrases will be most welcome

Thought it would be fun.
