Thumbs up Chatting in Greek

Or, as they maybe say over there,
"Chi eta alpha tau tau iota nu gamma / iota nu / gamma rho epsilon epsilon kappa!"

Anyways, I will hopefully go to Greece this summer for an art history Maymester! So I was doing some research to learn a little of the language beforehand (so that I can learn it better while I'm there, since Maymesters are only a few weeks).

Check out this site, Filoglossia!

Here is the ALPHAbet (haha). They show you how to write the letters and you can hear them pronounced!

Sa-weet! (sigma alpha - omega epsilon epsilon tau!)

(Because in Greece, I'm sure they talk by spelling every word out.)

Iota mu sigma omicron chi omicron omicron lambda!

That's a nice site. Thanks.

If you'd like to practice Greek, find an authentic Greek restaurant near you & chat with the staff.

Or, see if there's a Greek Orthodox church near you, and find out if they're having a Greek Festival. You can practice your "efharistos" and "parakalos" there!

BTW, a GCer went to Greece several months ago. You should PM her: enigma_AKA

Keep us posted!

(yes, I'm really Greek)
