It sounds to me like in the first sentence we can replace "que" with "quien", especially when speaking. In writing "quien" is more correct. In the second sentence also I think we can replace "que" with "quien" (but mostly in writing).

" Se van a hacer padres " se me escucha bien y "volverse padres" tambien. "convertirse en padres" claro que suena bien pero no se si se usa tanto.

I think that it means that each one of us feels his own sorrows and pains; each one carries his own weight, and only he and God knows how heavy it is.

"Πάντα" and "πάντοτε" means exactly the same thing only the second one is mostly used in writing. "Παντοτινά" also means the same thing but it sounds more poetical; it is used when talking or writing about "love forever" "memorisation forever" etc. "Παντοτινά" also gives a sensation of continuity ; it is like saying "each and every moment and forever".

Well, a cat is not so much connected with the concept of home. we all know that cats like to be at home and they like to be in a warm place .. . but a cat is not a symbol of luck for a new house (at least in my area) and I don't think that the concept of the cat participates in any tradition or positive superstition. It sounds quite disappointing but every culture has its own symbols. I think that in Greece -probably because of the good weather- people had so many outdoor activities (fishing, gardening, cultivating crops, taking care of the productive animals, outdoor celebrations, etc) that their world was so much outside of the house. Even if the winters were not small at those times, they were not either as big and heavy as in northern Europe. The fireplaces in the house were significantly smaller than the ones in the northern countries and generally the house was more likely a symbol of family than a symbol of warmth. Also as in those times (when traditional superstitions were born) the medicine was not so advanced , it was posible that cats were carriers of some common cat illnesses as they would definitely go out of the house during spring, summer and autumn and mix with stray cats. People wouldn't be happy to deal with an illness, so cats were likely to stay out most of the time. This used to happen in the north of Greece as far as I know. But I think it depends to the area, the village and each house, so maybe in other areas things were different.

Yes, you will still have to study Ancient Greek in order to understand it . Nope, a modern Greek speaker does not necessarily understand something written in classical or koine Greek. We can understand words and maybe a few frases but if you want to understand the meaning of a text you have to have studied Ancient Greek.

A las dos de noche...

Estoy muy enfadada. Son las dos de la noche, pero mis hijas no estan durmiendo todavia. No sè por que. Como las niñas no estan dormidas, no puedo estudiar español. ¡Tanto quiero estudiarlo!
Estoy muy cansada. Tal vez ( ¿O quizas?) (both are fine) mañana me descansarè un poco. Tomare un cóctel (?) de Leche y estudiaré màs tranquilamente en una cafetería.

Qué quería ser cuando fuera grande.

De verdad, no me acuerdo si tenía pasión por algun empleo cuando era niña. Sí, tenía ganas de trabajar como modelo cuando tenía siete u ocho años, pero a lo largo del tiempo me di cuenta de que no tenia el aspecto para hacerlo.

Ademas me atraía el empleo de profesora. De hecho, quería impartir clases, dar deberes, pero sobre todo, dar malas notas =) No sé porque eso me parecía tan atractivo.

En mi último grado tenía un sueñito de ser psicóloga. Pero no lo lleve a cabo ya que no sabia biología suficientemente bien y por eso tuve que seguir otra carrera. Hoy en día estoy interesada en la psicología y a menudo leo literatura dedicada a este tema.

Al fin y al cabo, trabajo como profesora de inglés en un centro de idiomas extranjeros. No doy nada de notas, sin embargo me encanta mi trabajo. Me gusta mucho ver como mis alumnos se mejoran dia a día y como algunos se enamoran del idioma. Espero que cambie sus vidas para mejor.
