Μαθαίνω ελληνικά. - I am learning Greek.

I am at the point of being able to read Greek, introduce myself, ask and respond to “how are you” and how to say “I am still learning Greek can we speak English”. haha

    Tried learning Spanish in school but I never really had a reason to stick with it or keep going. Recently started relearning some vocab and grammar and phrases because there are places I’d like to visit that would be much easier with even just some basic phrases and books I’d like to read in the author’s original words and phrases.

      Same here. I learned un poco en escuela, but didn’t pick up that much. I recently started trying Language Think Transfer. It’s kind of fast paced, but it goes over a lot of language concepts to help you translate outside of the classroom. It follows a teacher and student learning and the one I’m doing is 90 lessons. I got to take notes and everything.

        I’ve mostly been using frequency lists to restore the vocab I used to have and a dual translation of Don Quixote to expand further & learn more phrases. Once I have some good foundation I wanted to check out more Spanish speaking social media, news, movies/TV, etc to get more immersion

          I listen to some conversation podcasts and Spanish songs with the lyrics so I can read along and look up words/phrases that I need to. I think immersion is better for picking up algunos palabras para conversacion.

          I meant Language Transfer. It just shows as “Language T…” on my app so I guessed. 😆

          Thanks for the correction.
