Γεια σας! Εγώ ονομάζομαι Υτσεμ, είμαι από την Αλγερία, είμαι Αλγερινός, από την πόλη του Αλγερίου. Μου αρέσει να μάθω ελληνική γλώσσα

I must memorise these so this video is EXACTLY what I was looking for to ensure I get the pronunciation correct. Ευχαριστώ

Just like in Spanish. We omit the personal pronoun because the conjugation of the verb already tells who is doing.

Πιστεύω ότι το να μαθένεις σε άλλα παιδιά από Αγγλία, Αμερική, Καναδά κ.α. είναι πολύ καλό και η απάντηση από αυτό που ρώτησες είναι για εμένα είμαι από την Ελλάδα, είναι όντος αλήθεια.
