Not a problem. I won't be doing this Greek writing anymore..It boggles the mind..
That is true - I read and speak Greek a little better.
Mind you, I have been sat indoors for the past few months, finishing off a few projects, so I am very out of practice. Hopefully, it will come back once I get out and about.
It is a very difficult language
I read it better..Speak/understand it spoken..the best.
Translate and write it last and least.
At least we didn't write it in the Greek alphabet...
I have a hard time with dialect too.
I took 8 years of greek school growing up and can say very little today...
Think hard now..it's coming back to you.
Here is an easy one:
What is the Greek word for WATER.
I actually find it easier to read and write Greek using the Greek alphabet, although it is still difficult.
mtsi: I am sure that it would all come back if you stayed here a while. I have a lot of Australian and Canadian Greek friends who soon relearned it
Mikel:
I use to. I studied a little a long time ago but I am very rusty in it. I grew up with Greeks around me and learned by just listening and observing.
I don't have a way to type Greek either.
I speak as much Hebrew as I do Greek.
My knowledge of Hebrew is non-existent!
I also learn from listening. I did teach myself a little from books, but the Spartans speak a completely different dialect.
As my Greek friend is fond of saying: Even the Greeks don't speak Greek.
I have a Greek keyboard on my notebook, but not this laptop, which I brought over from England
You are welcome anytime - give us a shout if you need any help organising things
PS: The word for water is Nero (pronounced n-ay-row). Don't tell Deborah I helped you
Hey Cindy - I will have to make you a special Sufi moussaka, one day
my greek is worse than I thought although curse words and booze seems to stick...the things that make you go hmmm...
Looks like we will have to stay behind after class, mtsi, and write,
"We will not cheat in Greek lessons' 1000 times on the blackboard!
Sorry, Miss
Since he couldn't remember Water even when he looked it up. .No more lessons will be needed....but please continue writing your sentences.

That's about it - my written Greek is truly atrocious!

Did you grow up learning three languages at the same time? My children 6 and 3 are learning English-Spanish and French at the same time. They seem to be coping very well but I would like to hear about people who has done the same.

Is it easy to learn to speak Arabic language?
