I'm already proficient in English and working as an English teacher in my home country (Greece), but my contact with native speakers of the language is really limited; So, I'd like to keep up with the language and work on my accent a little bit. American accents are easier for me, although I'd welcome practice on British accents, too.

    Hi there, yes it's acceptable to just give the numbers when answering the "what's the time" question in Greek. E.g. Τι ώρα είναι; --> Δέκα και μισή. For the second question, και must be used for subdivisions of minutes (e.g. δέκα και τέταρτο, δέκα και δέκα), except και μισή which can be also said without the connector και. E.g. τι ώρα είναι; --> Δέκα μισή.

    Hi, Erwan. I think you should have posted this under 'Answers' on italki, but I'll answer your questions below:


    * "Hi" = Can you tell me in which different way you can say it (i know geia sou and kalimera, kalinikta) ? In France we have many different way to say it ==>  Γεια / Γεια σου / Γεια σας (=polite form) / Χαίρεται (= polite and old-fashioned)
    * Same for "How are you ?" ==> Τι κάνεις; / Τι κάνετε ; (=polite form)
    * "Hi ! My name is Erwan, I'm 17" ==> Γεια! Με λένε Ερβάν, είμαι 17 (δεκαεπτά).
    * "I'm from south of France." ==> Είμαι από τη Νότια Γαλλία.
    * "I really love the Greek language due to his beautiful sound and hand writing" ==> Μ' αρέσει πολύ η ελληνική γλώσσα επειδή έχει όμορφο ήχο και όμορφη γραφή.
    * "I start to learned it since 4 month by myself" ==> Ξεκίνησα να τη μαθαίνω μόνος μου πριν 4 μήνες.
    * "Where do you live in Ελλάδα;" ==> πού μένεις στην Ελλάδα;
    * "Do you learned french ?" ==> ξέρεις γαλλικά;

    Efkaristo para poli...
    παρακαλώ! :)
    * "for your help"

    Ναρκοωτικά

    Τα Ναρκοωτικά είναι παρόντα στην καθημερινή μας ζωή. Αν θέλει κανείς να γλεντήσει, παίρνει ναρκοωτικόά, και ο κόσμος γύρω του αλλάζει ξαφνικά και ουστιαστικά. Δεν ξέρει αυτός, τι γίνεται στ' αλήθεια, ούτε τι όμως είναι προϊον της φαντασίας του. Καμιά φορά ούτε αυτό καν ξέρει ο άνθρωπος, πωώς λεγεται.
    Πολλά άτομα είναι εθισμένα στα ναρκόωτικαά, γιατί αν παίρνεις ναρκοωτικά για κάποιο χρονικό διάστιημα, μέτα μπορεί να είναι δύσκολο να σταματήσεις, ή, αυτό είναι ίσως χειίροότερο, δεν βλέπεις, δεν βρίσκεις το λόγο, για να μην παίρνεις ναρκοωτικά. Όλα τα πράγματα, όλοη τοη ζωή σου σού φαιαίνεταίαι χωρίς νόημα. Το Νόημα όμως, όπως ξέρουμε, είναι πολύ σημαντικό!

     

    Dimitra's is a fine correction, with more additions, beyond grammatical corrections. Here I've only made some grammar corrections and was faithful to your original text.

    Is 'habiter' used more often with or without a preposition? What's more common (and correct): to use 'habiter' with a preposition (e.g. dans, à) or without? For example: Il habitait un grand hôtel, or Il habitait dans un grand hôtel

    just like εάν and αν, πως and ότι have exactly the same meaning when they introduce a dependent sentence. Examples: Ισχυρίζεται πως / ότι έχει δίκιο (he claims that he's right) Το ξέρω πως / ότι με αγαπάς (I know that you love me)

    they're the same in meaning, but εάν is more formal and a bit old-fashioned. I would recommend using "αν" in most cases of oral or written speech

    Θεοί στέργονσι τους ἄντρπους 

    Isablel, this is probably mispelled; my guess is it says: Θεοί στέργουσι τους ανθρώπους

    Meaning: Gods love people

     

    Εν τη ἀγορᾷ εἰσιν οικιαι.

    There are houses at the marketplace

    ποιητης καλας ἐπιστολάς γράφει

    the poet writes good letters

     

    I don't agree with the translation provided by Vivid (but well done for the effort), because the two first sentences seem to be unrelated to one another, while καλας (=good) in the third sentence refers to επιστολές (=letters) and is NOT the name of the poet.

    Also be aware that (I suppose you know it already but still..) this is ancient and not modern Greek

    the answer is ok, "υπάρχει" is the other verb for existing; just wanted to note, however, that in the case of the film in your example, you cannot say Απόψε υπάρχει ένα καλό έργο.. In this sentence 'εχει' is more idiomatic, in the way you could say "Tonight a good film is on". Υπάρχει is used mostly for things that are physically located somewhere, or for the existence of an abstract notion (e.g. υπάρχει θεός; υπάρχει ελπίδα; is there a god? is there hope? etc)
