I had a greek business partner 18 years ago and was hooked on the language immediately. I have been reading the same University book on and off since then, not having any conversation groups around. 3 months ago I discovered Easy Greek, and that changed everything!! I could slow it down to understand and be able to read the actual Greekm words over and over again. The progress is amazing. The next day the Greek words swim around in the brain, and when you look them up, they are understood and become permanent! You have given me a great learning tool.

Yet another very useful video! Thank you so much, Dimitris and Marilou!

This use of "λίγο" reminds me of how in French we use "un peu", and in Italian "un po'" in some occasions. It got me thinking...

I believe the goal is to minimise the impact of what we say so as not to bother the person we talk to, or to make sure they accept our request. So I'll say "Raconte-moi un peu" or "Senti un po' cos'è successo". In reality, "I want to know the whole story" or "I totally want you to do that", but tell me at least a little about it, or do it at least a bit.

i'm not greek but learned to speak the language after living in Athens for 4 yrs. The hardest thing to learn was when and with whom to use "re" or "more/morh". I was so terrified of insulting the listener. I had to be concious of their relation to me, their rank, class and age. Everything else was a piece of cake in comparison.

My god, that jawline could carve diamond

This is great. I remember growing up and learning that "re" was considered rude and disrespectful, especially towards adults. But this was over 30 years ago.

Absolutely loving the channel. Just discovered it. So great for helping me to keep up with my Greek. Such a beautiful language. I learned it many years ago when I lived in Athens, but it’s gone rusty. I really like the way you subtitle in Greek and English. Thank you. (Oh, and please do something on Cyprus. I lived there for 8 years. Even after all that time, Cypriot Greek still defeats me! 😀)

Μου αρέσει ο τρόπος που διδάσκεις αυτές τις καθημερινές φράσεις - νιώθω ότι μαθαίνω τα πραγματικά ελληνικά! Είστε οι καλύτεροι φίλοι μου!

[stewartmackay]

This channel is helping me a lot. My main problem is that I don't have a very good memory, but I'm trying as hard as I can to learn practical Greek for everyday use. The issue I have here on Rhodes is that even when I try to speak Greek to people, such as in shops, when they look at me they simply answer me in English. It can make learning difficult.

[kononenkoksenia]

Love it❤❤so useful and easy to understand for beginners since Greeks are very fast

[dkitzef]

I love the word "Ρε" it is a perfect greek counterpart to mexican-spanish "güey", which is used to close friends, or to insult your enemies and friends, it is mostly used to call someone's attention.

[esterherschkovich]

Opa!!Love these videos.I listen to Greek music and now I might understand a few words more!!😀

[Guaymallencio]

The way you describe "Siga siga" reminds me our expression in Spanish "Me voy a ir yendo".
