Learning Greek

Hi everybody! :)

It's been almost a year since I last used Italki for the last time, but I'm back! ...I think I'm forgetting the my English [or without 'my'] :(

I’ve always had an insatiable curiosity for learning new languages, just doing it becomes an amazing opportunity to discover know a whole new culture.

Some A few [this sounds better] days ago I decided to learn Modern Greek. Studying this language seems to for me like a journey to the beginnings of our history because a lot of words in Spanish come from the Ancient Greek, but the alphabet is what I like the most. As a Graphic designer, I love typography, so to learn and to study a new alphabet is very enjoyable.

The Greek phonetics is not so different from Spanish (just few new sounds) but its the grammar is a little bit complex due to its grammatical cases and verb conjugations, but now I’m focused on in learning and identifying [instead of 'indentifying', I would use the word 'recognising'] the sounds, words and expressions.

I’m trying to study at least one hour per day, learning new vocabulary and slowly familiarising myself with the Greek grammar and syntax.

By For now, I'll continue my journey by learning this new and amazing language.

Καληνύχτα! (¡Good night!)



Well done, Francisco. You have set yourself a challenge by choosing to learn Modern Greek. It is definately harder than Spanish, I can tell you that, and a lot of the vocabulary will be unfamiliar. Having said that, it is not impossible to learn by any means and is such a beautful language. 

Καλή συνέχεια!
