My grandmother Navia, who is fully Greek doesn't know ANY English. She lives in Greece but when we visit her we all have to speak in Greek. She doesn't want to learn it and told us that she doesn't need to learn it, how do I convince her to learn English?

Well we are talking about balanced budgets, so obviously it must not be a conservative party.

I be right. It was the socialists.

Greek MP expelled from socialist party for voting against austerity bill

Dick,

So I guess balanced budgets are socialists now? Must be because they raised taxes as well as cut spending.

And can you learn from tuition manuals and audio or would you have to join a class? I really want to learn as my parents now live in Greece and I visit a lot but I can't really afford anymore classes as I'm already paying out uni fees.

I'm from Canada.
I'm good at languages...i know french and english
but...I went to greece two years ago
and I fell in love with it..
and I want to move there in 5 years after im done university..
But I do need to know the language of course.
How difficult would it be to become fluent in greek in 5 years?

I am talking about what will get more Greek speakers

Travel -> Greece

His empire lead to Old Testament translators to translate "Javan" as "Greece" instead of Macedonia for some reason, and I recall hearing that he would have spoke Greek.

I have 4 movies I want to rent from the DVD store in Greece but the guy doesn't know what I'm talking about. Does anyone know what these 4 movies are called in Greek?

-Splash (1984)
-Stand by Me (1986)
-L.A. Confidential (1997)
-Three Kings (1999)

I'm 15 years old and I really want to learn Greek because on 1 side of my family is Greek so I was just wondering Wat was the best thing or program to use to learn Greek, I don't like Rosetta stone and I can't travel to Greece because I'm to young so wats a good and affordable way to learn Greek to and exstent where I can read write and talk fluently, I know that will take a long time

Byzantine Empire was said to be the legacy of the Roman Empire but why the people did not continue to speak Latin but instead spoke Greek? Was it because they moved to the modern Turkey, which is near to Greece.

I have no financial or personal obligations. I also have family in various parts of Greece. I'm looking to move to Athens or neighborhing region. My ultimate goal is to relocate my life. I speak Greek.
I was born in Canada. I am a Canadian citizen.

Greece is well known (or infamously known, depending on who you talk too) for it's City-States. I know that during the Greco-Persian Wars the Greek cities were still divided into City-States, but were they still in that state during the Fourth Macedonian War, when Rome fully occupied all of Macedonia and Greece?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In the last year or two, I have fallen in love with Greece. And I hope in the future to go there, but how hard is it to speak Greek? and if you know it how do you recommend me going to learn it?

I am Greek and i go to Greece every summer and i live with Greek family, i know basics conversation but I want to be fluent in the language i am in 9th grade right now. I want to know the best prgram to learn, i dont care about price, i just want to learn Greek

i am greek and i went to greece in october 2009 and i have friends that speak greek and i want to learn how speak it. any good websites? (and i know my grammar is a little off today sry)

I'm moving out to live in Athens with my partner (who is greek) in January next year and Will need to look for a Job. I'm a Cardiac nurse working in the UK at present and hopefully will be learning Greek once I move. I tired to contact the embassy in Greece regarding work but I did not find it very useful.

Right now I know a little Greek, but no where enough to even try for Greek speaking job.

Does anyone know what type of work (if any) that I might be able to get in Athens that requires English only?
Maybe private nursing jobs, ex- pat hospitals? I really don't Even know where to start looking for such jobs.

I've been told you can get greek news papers in English but I've not seen any in the local shops in Athens.

Is there anyone who has similar experience or any idea where I start?

im in a high school Greek class and since there are so few of us (only 5 ) our teacher is giving us the option of choosing what we want to learn about. Do you guys have any recommendations? im interested in the mths and gods and things but i dont really know too much to begin with... So i guess what I'm asking is if you could learn anything about greece or have learned anything about greece, what do you think would be the most interesting?

I want to send a letter to my boyfriend who is currently in Greece for 4 months in his hometown. Will it be received if the address is written in English?
Also, the letter is a surprise so i can't ask him! xaxaa..

I have been studying modern greek for awhile but havent really found anybody to practise it with. I plan to eventually travel through Greece for quite a while so I want to become fairly fluent in it but its difficult to find people here who can actually speak it.

In other words, say if I want to work in Germany, do I need to speak German?
If I want to work in Greece, do I need to speak Greek?
etc etc.

Thanks.

My house is a mainly Greek speaking house hold lol
I speak Greek with my parents (they immigrated from Greece), English with my siblings.

What do you guys speak at home with your parents, siblings, etc?

I'm not saying I expect to get a program that's instant, but I don't want a program that takes forever. I can set a price range of 0 and under. What are good programs, or methods?
And I can't go to Greece.

" Im going to America for 5 weeks, I will not be coming to Greece till 2012, you can post it to my house and charge the postal fee to me, I will pay for it on pick up at the post office, please add insurance to the package.
@Unknown, there is no reason to call her an idiot. Maybe a Greek can come along and confirm what she has written.
@Unknown thank you for changing your post and for the advise

I mean, since its "prohibited" to speak their mother tongue , and since they live in Greece, why none of them is able to speak Greek?

How these " huge" community communicate ?in Mors signs? Sign language? "body language"?

So all those who claim that are from "Aegean Macedonia" are welcomed to tell us their stories.....

I already know some Greek given that I have a few Greek friends. I visited Greece this past summer with a Greek friend of mine and now have a growing interest. I want to learn Greek in a sense that I can communicate if I ever return to Greece next summer perhaps. What does one recommend?

I'm making a character for my story and he's from Greece, I'm just wondering, what's the Greek word for Faceless?

Okay, so my Yia yai is Greek. She came over from Greece when she was 10 years old. When she and my papou try and get my attention, they always say "Hey Modae!" (If that's even how you spell it) I was just wondering what that means? Thanks ahead for anyone who can tell me!

In the last year or two, I have fallen in love with Greece. And I hope in the future to go there, but how hard is it to speak Greek? and if you know it how do you recommend me going to learn it?

What is the difference between ancient Greek and modern Greek?
and knowing some ancient Greek can one get by a little in Greece or is there really no point in learning ancient Greek to be able to communicate in Greece?

I am half Greek and really would like to learn more about the heritage and traditions. My family lives in Greece, and they don't speak English so they can't help me. Anyone know a good place to learn the language and about Greek traditions? You are amazing! Thank you so much!

My family is originally from Greece so I'm planning on getting a tattoo of one of those. So obviously I'm looking for the Greek letters. Thanks.

I speak English and Italian, and am interested in learning both of these languages since I travel to Portugal and Greece a lot. I want to learn the language that is easiest first. Thank you!
