Greek is such a cool language. I wish I learn it when I'm a teenager, but my school didn't offer it. Happy I can start now.

[@TheImmortalRain]

We need more greek videos

[@Scottiii95]

beautiful language

[@dusshan1]

to me both Greek language and people sound and appear beautiful. as if they have beautiful soul, just speaking out of their hearts.

[@christianidemetriou7486]

More of Easy Greek......we need more free greek language learning content on youtube.

[@mariannamoumdji9560]

You ask the Greeks what do they do on their vacation and most of them don't even consider going outside their country. Why should they? They know they have the best place in the world!

[@GreekSoldier46]

Hahaha

[@orthodox1173]

mumcu kanun So TRUE!!!!

[@apostolispouliakis7401]

As a Greek I beg to differ cause most of the people I know have travelled to other countries for vacation however mainly in the Eu I personally have travelled to Italy.

[@flukos79]

That's what makes them shallow. Not going abroad and thinking they are the best

[@minim6981]

It's crazy how similar to Spanish (from Spain) it sounds, even though almost none of the words are similar and the languages are only distantly related. The sound of the language just sounds very similar. It's like I should understand what they're saying, but I dont

[@daan147]

Totalmente de acuerdo, tanto en la forma de expresarse, como en la forma en que suenan las palabras. La verdad es que suenan muy parecido. Tremendamente curioso

[@GGaoemom]

Exactly how I feel when Im watching spanish teaching videos. Its like I know spanish for ages but I habe no clue what they are talking about . lol

[@tintenkiller768]

GGaoemom me too , haha

[@irondasgr]

Ya que como Griego se hablar el espanol puedo decir que entre estas dos lenguas no hay ni una sola similaridad. Os parecen pero iguales porque tienen los mismos sonidos en la pronuncia de los vocales.

[@George-fw7di]

Miri M Oh no puedo estar más de acuerdo contigo..Yo soy griego y creo que nuestros idiomas son extrañamente similares...Me gusta mucho el español...Bueno, muchos besitos de Grecia! 😘

[@petereconomy6807]

I'm a Greek American in United States, I'm trying to learn more the Greek language so I can be one the Greek citizens to visit Greece

As a avid follower of Easy Languages (I have been learning German, and enjoy the insights it provide immensely), I must say I really appreciate the way this show is done. As a Greek-American I can say I am immensely proud and am very much expectant of the Easy Greek series! Bravo sas paidia!

[@costasmegas]

Two comments. First, In all the Easy German, what I appreciated learning the most, was the culture, customs, and traditions. I hope to see Easy Greek progress that way. Mipos borite na mas ferete se kanena glendi, polles evropaikes xores then exoun tetia paradosi. ;) Second, if the objective is for xenous to learn the Greek Language, please be careful, with both who you use as an example and what the translation says. For example, when the elder gentleman said, "as poume" at the end of one of his sentences, it was excluded. I think there was another instance of omission, as well. Perhaps this was unintentional (or because it was mumbled) but you should put these things in for the learners! Also, you KNOW someone is going to bring this up... The Albanian gentleman... He was very pleasant and his Greek was very good... BUT, he made a great deal of mistakes in his grammar, and this was not reflected in the Greek text. This might also be a problem for learners. Perhaps you can put an asterix in the translation when it is being corrected? Otherwise, neophytes may learn things incorrectly. Thank you very much for listening. Sas efxaristo!

[@costasmegas]

Kai parakalo sinxoreste ta Greeklish, ma then exo Elliniko pliktrologio. Polli agapi, alles leibe, and good luck from Florida!

[@CrazyDiamond1266]

This sounds cool. I really like that you didn't put it in Latin letters.

[@mnarsh750]

haha i really don't like that they didn't

[@claudiaespinoza2154]

I love greek!

[@Homoclassicus]

For me, a Portuguese speaker: Greek = Spanish that strangely I can never understand. :-D

[@Veselibu]

Very good! We should appreciate more Greek videos please!!!

[@kovaxim]

very nice, this is my first time hearing Greek, for which I think is weird, but not in a rude way, just really foreign to what I usually hear if it wasn't for Easy Languages, I don't thing I would have the opportunity to hear all these languages, so thank you E.L. for making this happen, I appreciate it very much =)

[@squigoo]

i want to learn greek now :o

[@dunkel1152]

μου αρέσει αυτή η γλώσσα, αλλά νομίζω ότι ιο άνθρωποι μιλούν πάρα πολύ γρήγορα!

[@silverfr3ak]

πάντα!

[@davidedgar8999]

This is good practice for listening precisely because of the amount of repetition in the responses - you start to pick up familiar themes, even where it would be too fast if you heard it only once.

[@hhattonaom9729]

more greek videos please...

[@quidquamquaero5694]

Ευχαριστώ πολύ για τη δουλειά σου! Είναι χρήσιμη για μας μαθητές.

It's funny how so many people write that Greek sounds similar to Spanish. I never had such associations. Instead, I think that Portuguese sounds like Russian. :D

[@kevindasilvagoncalves468]

Only european portuguese sounds like russian

[@thehoebehindthedumpster9389]

yeah me too I think EU Portuguese sound Slavic

[@stratvar]

@@kevindasilvagoncalves468 And only european spanish sounds like greek :-)

Yes we dont sound like Spanish at all..maybe closer to Finnish language because of many a's r's l's k's and t's

[@handanunal4040]

είναι πολύ χρήσιμο! Ευχαριστώ. The guy who said he is not going to share his favourite camping place made me smile though :))

[@gulgarfield1275]

İt is just waste of time to learn languages with these videos, may be you know any language good or better, then it is useful for ya,but if you don't know anything, or a little it doesn't help you.But I like these videos so much because it is so interesting, amusing,I just enjoy them,lots of people, their opinions, accents :)

[@josegabrielsolanopaniagua5395]

Well, I think those videos are useful if someone want to hear NATIVE SPEAKERS of a language and improve their listening.

[@friedrichhayek8628]

[@daJPRIEST]

Paul Composer she actually says ´´me parées´´ (with company) :)

[@panoC97]

It's parees in plural, parea in singular and it means company or group. It actually comes from the Spanish pareja.

[@andersonrocha9111]

very easy to learn greek since they speak slowly unlike many languese which are spoken in a quick way

[@Autmies]

+Anderson Rocha It's really interesting that you think they speak slowly because they are many people who claim that Greeks speak very quickly :)

[@videogamessports7778]

well, I am greek and I speak slowly

[@languagelover9170]

Μονονεσει

[@tatohuenupi3542]

Gosh, they speak fast

[@mal3214]

Can someone explain to me how this can possibly be described as ‘easy Greek’? It moves so fast and there’s no English equivalent translation:-(

[@jewelrani8]

why greek people taking too fast . specialy girl oohhhhhhhhh its too fast

Just hearing in one ear is super annoying!!!

[@andronik486]

Too bad Greek doesn't have anymore the phoneme that German, Turkish, Hungarian [ü], Finnish, Albanian [y], French, Icelandic [u]. That phoneme was in Ancient Greek supposedly represented by Y υ, now it's just pronounced the same as Ι ι and Η η.

[@chrisng1529]

It does, you add ο and u to make a ou sound.

[@MultiSciGeek]

WhatTheRockInc so what is Y?

[@tintenkiller768]

The ancient greek letter υ,Υ was never pronounce like a 'ü'...who tell you the shit?

[@andronik486]

Tinten Killer Finally someone understood me. It seems I read it from an encyclopedia with a lot of mistakes (Wikipedia), so I shoud read more scientific works or valid encyclopedias, but I didn't have enough time and money and I'm still in college and interested in languages... And it also seems that Wikipedia is only good for geography sometimes...

[@tintenkiller768]

WhatTheRockInc yeah...

[@Neueregel]

These northern Greeks, emphasize too much of the letter L/Λαμδα. We make fun of Thessalonikians just because of that. Typical foods they eat: μπουγατσα με τυρι, σουβλακι , (instead of the correct καλαμάκι), κτλ.. Τhey are cool guys though, even though their teams, Aris and Paok, suck.

[@user-gh5qm7hg7h]

Σύνελθε! Το καλαμάκι το χουμε για τον φραπέ...

[@Neueregel]

Δεσποινα Πασχαλιδου Δεσποινα to καλαμακι βγαινει απ'το ΚΑΛΑΜΙ. Αρα προσδιοριζει Ο,ΤΙ θες ετσι, αν μοιαζει με καλαμι. Ειτε καλαμακι για φραπε, ειτε καλαμακι για πιτογυρο !!

[@user-gh5qm7hg7h]

Neueregel, γνωρίζω την ιστορία πως τα πρώτα σουβλάκια, ήταν κομμάτια κρέατος σε καλάμι, αλλά πλέον το ξύλο που χρησιμοποιούμε δεν προέρχεται από καλαμιές. Ακόμα και το καλαμάκι για τον καφέ, το πλαστικό, ψιλο-άκυρο που το χρησιμοποιούμε τώρα που το σκέφτομαι. Το μόνο σίγουρο είναι πως η λέξη Σουβλάκι έχει βάση ακόμα και στις μέρες μας, καθώς το κρέας σουβλίζεται άσχετα με το υλικό στο οποίο τοποθετείται...Καλή η προσέγγιση σου, αλλά χωλαίνει στο εξής: Το σουβλάκι τι προσδιορίζει όταν αναφερόμαστε σε ένα πιτόγυρο; Και σε κάθε περίπτωση τι λογής πιτόγυρο είναι αυτό που εμπεριέχει και καλαμάκι;

[@Neueregel]

Δεσποινα Πασχαλιδου *Εμπεριστατωμένη και ενδελεχής η ανάλυσή σου, αλλά μου είναι προφανές ότι ΚΑΙ ο γύρος σουβλίζεται πάνω σε ατσάλινο ανοξείδωτο σίδερο άρα αξίζει να ονομάζεται σουβλάκι. Και συνήθως με ντοματά απο πάνω! Επίσης, η γλώσσα δεν είναι κάτι στατικό. Δανείζεται στοιχεία απ'τη λαική κουλτούρα. Απ'το επίθετο σου καταλαβαίνω ότι είσαι 99% από Βόρεια Ελλάδα, (**apps.vrisko.gr/apo-pou-krataei-i-skoufia-sou/%CE%A0%CE%B1%CF%83%CF%87%CE%B1%CE%BB%CE%AF%CE%B4%CE%B7%CF%82** ) άρα γελάς και μεροληπτείς κατά της ονομασίας "Καλαμάκι Χοιρινό". Παρ'ολα αυτά, να ξέρεις ότι σε 99 απο 100 γυράδικα στην Αθηνα, αν ζητήσεις 3 Καλαμάκια Χοιρινό, θα σου δώσουν αυτό που εσύ εννοείς ως απλά "σουβλάκια", 'και θα πάρεις αυτό που θες (π.χ μερικά απλά σουβλάκια κρέατος και ΟΧΙ ολόκληρο πιτόγυρο)! Ο σκοπός αγιάζει τα μέσα. Απλά πες την μαγική λέξη "ΚΑΛΑΜΑΚΙ΄" ! Δεν παθάινεις και τίποτα. Στην Κρήτη, βάζουν και πιπεριές ανάμεσα στο κρέας απ'τα καλαμάκια, και πάλι τα λένε σουβλάκια! Δικαίωμα τους είναι. Μην κολλάμε σε συμβάσεις και φορμαλισμούς λέξεων. Καλό Σ/Κ. Νώντας*

[@user-gh5qm7hg7h]

Όντως Νώντα, με κατάλαβες! Θεσσαλονικιά. Εδώ που το πιτόγυρο, όπως το λέτε εσείς κάτω, το λέμε σάντουιτσ και το καλαμάκι (είδες δε φοβάμαι να το πω, έχω ζήσει σε πολλά μέρη της χώρας μας και προσαρμοζόμουν) σουβλάκι. Σε κάθε περίπτωση δεν είχα καμία πρόθεση να σε προσβάλω με το πρώτο μου σχόλιο, ενέχει περισσότερο χιουμοριστικά στοιχεία. Συμφωνώ απόλυτα με την άποψή σου περί μετασχηματισμού της γλώσσας, αλλά και πάλι σχετίζεται με το περιβάλλον που βρίσκεσαι. Καλή συνέχεια και σε σένα!
