I found a self-study book to learn the Greek language, but the book is from the 60's. I heard that Greek underwent a change during the 70's, I believe, and so was wondering, aside from a few obvious anachronisms, if I used this book to learn Greek and went over to Greece, would I be understood and be able to understand others?

I am greek im 17 years old and im planning on becoming an actress . i have loads of experience (theater plays, school plays, musicals) . Now i got the chance to promote myself on TV. Im not planning on staying to Greece. Even though the language of the tvshow is greek will it count for my resume? Im planning to go to UK or US.

I bought a new laptop in Greece & (maybe unsurprisingly) everything is in Greek. Is there any way I can change it to English? I tried changing the language settings in the control panel but that hasn't made any difference. I am an IT idiot so please make any instructions very easy! Thank you!
I said I was an IT idiot... it seems that it's on Windows Vista Home Premium I need to change the language :-) Is this possible?

Me and this girl from Greece have been talking on MSN and she sent me a letter in English. I want to send her a letter in Greek and maybe even talk to her in Greek on the phone. Do you know of a program or book or something that will work efficiently to learn Greek?

I am in South Eastern Massachusetts. I homeschool my 2 children, so I have a flexible schedule. I do not have a lot of money!! Are there inexpensive resources, in my area, where I can learn Greek?
My grandfather was born in Greece, but when he came to the U.S., he became part of his new country. He stopped speaking Greek, and learned to speak, read, and write English. He never spoke to anyone in Greek, except to swear on occasion. LOL
I would like to reclaim some of my heritage, so if anyone can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you!!

What is the correct Greek pronunciation of Thalia?

I have seen and heard several different pronunciations, but I want to know how it is pronounced in Greece. Thalia is the name of the Greek Muse of Comedy.

I have a greek friend from North Hepeirus and she told me that they wouldn't allowed to talk greek not even in their homes. Also, there were always strange people that was called "cusines" that were watching them every time that someone was coming from greek state to visit them. She told me that many people died in prison for just very funny reasons, such as because they didn't admit they were Albanians.
They deprived of the right to get married in churches, many Greeks from Albania got married after escaping in Greece.
Also, many people escaped from Albania using spoons and forks for digging small tuneles.
Also, albanian state refused to state as greeks the child that had a greek parent and an albanian parent, trying to minimize the minority.
At first, I thought that it was too much for being true.
What do you think of it?....
Dear Frank,
You are right, except of the Thrace minority. I live in Xanthi. Except of the public schools, there is also a private gymnasium for Muslims, which was built in 1968... In schools things are very "gentle" for them. They also have another list of entering the University, which is very favorable. I also know that they vote to specific villages, so that they elect people from the minority, and why not? Of course they must stand up for their rights.

Of course I know that uneven things are happening. But greek state is not hostile to minorities, people live in freedom and no one presses them to deprive of their language and different character, that's what I think.

I love Greece! Someday I would love to live there, but it all depends on the language. What do you think???
