learn greek

I’ve been learning Greek slowly for two months now and I would like to continue my research with the goal being visiting Greece and speaking to the locals in their own tongue.

I want to improve my greek, so that one day it will feel as natural to me as english language.

I’m going to Greece in May! I would love to learn Greek so I can impress my friends and not be completely lost!

how to learn greek

Perhaps it’s a bit early to say I’ve started on my journey to learn Greek, but in a way I suppose the journey begins right when you make the decision. I have a couple methods I’ll be using, namely internet based. I’d love to purchase Rosetta Stone, but it’s very expensive and I’m quite poor.

Why Greek? Well, why not Greek? I’m not of Greek decent and I don’t know anyone from Greece, but it’s like an obsession. Culture, history, landscape, music, food. It’s a place I’ve always wanted to see and experience. Eventually I plan to get myself there somehow, and if I know the language then just maybe my experience and immersion into the culture might be that much more profound.

Beyond that, if I learn this language, it’ll be something that I can look back on and say, “I did it. I learned Greek.” I’ve had classes in other languages before. I could pick up some of the basics, but it’s always been hard for me. So I know this will be exceedingly difficult. Perhaps that’s an even greater incentive.

So, here I go.

I’m half greek, and ever since I can remember I wanted to learn the language. My mom and aunt/uncle speak it fluently, and also my grandmother. I’ve always wanted to learn to speak it and be able to talk to my grandmother in her native language. I don’t know why she and my mom never taught us when we were little, but I am going to ask them to try now.

I live in Greece right now, and I’d like to go to dinner and have an entire conversation in Greek.

O popo its a rough language.

But Cigga Cigga – I’m getting it slowly.

And the need for Greek is past.

But I did learn a few phrases, and finally, finally the alphabet! (What going to a college without a Greek System did (or didn’t do for my future…) :)

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.
