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
