Hi! My name is Gary and I love the Greek language and Greek culture. I've just returned home from a two week holiday on Zakynthos. I have started learning the language but would really like to find some friends to help me become fluent. In return I can offer anyone help with English. I'm married and have a little boy who is nearly 3 years old. My wife and child mean everything to me! I love sport, mainly football and cricket, reading books and watching movies of all kinds, keeping fit, and just having fun! I would really like to make friends with anyone from Greece or who speaks Greek natively. Any sex, age, race, beliefs. I hope to find friends that I can chat to regularly via email and maybe voice/video chat or snail mail. Look forward to hearing from you!!! Gary

    Lip service is a disingenuous or surface-level attempt to gain public favor by appearing to take a popular stance, yet making little effort to actually adopt or implement that position in private. At a very basic level, it is talking positively about something you do not believe in.

    You can believe in it, but it is dangerous to rely upon it ;-)

    Hi! 'Screw things up' is an informal saying and would not, in my opinion, be suitable for an official report of any kind. In my experience, I have found that when a report is important, you should keep your language as basic as possible so as not to leave things open to interpretation. It's hard to say what you would substitute the saying for without a context, but if your sentence read 'I believe it would screws things up' then you could try..... result in errors be catastrophic be harmful be damaging be counter-productive

    Hi! Google is your friend!! Simply type in 'learn french' and you will get literally thousands of hits with all the information you could ever need. Plenty of sites will give you free introductory lessons to set you on your path. After you get started, you'll get a feeling for the ways you do and don't like to learn. Then you can concentrate on your favourites.

    No, it is an absolute necessity of evolution that all creatures are NOT equal. There will always be those that thrive and those that struggle. This is the way the world works. However, that is not to say that we cannot work to minimise the number of people that live in poverty.

    I'm assuming that both 'Wrinkled' and 'Tree' are types of frog? If so, then the sentences should read.... The Wrinkled Frog doesn't change the colour of it's body, unlike the Tree Frog. I don't know, with regards to colour, whether the former is like the latter or not.

    Is there more than one way of writing in the Greek language? I've come across Greek written in two different ways.... 1. Using the Greek alphabet - e.g. Καλημέρα 2. Using the English alphabet - e.g. Kalimera, Yasas, Parakalo Now, obisouly 1. is the 'proper' way to write Greek. But what about 2? If I were to write to a Greek speaking friend this way, would they understand, or is it simply a method used by English people learning Greek to more easily grasp the words? Thanks! :-)

    What a weird question to ask!! I can only assume that you must have had some sort of personal experiece that you have allowed to fester into a prejudice? I am neither American nor Asian but I find the whole idea that you can simply dismiss the enitre American male population in such a way frankly laughable! But if we are moving into the realm of sterotyping millions and millions of people, are you REALLY sure that you want to use Asia as the pinaccle of women's rights?
