Im telling you....If you re not Greek and you learn how to speak and write in Greek, then you're a hero!

[@crazyforsonamyandshadora1855]

Alex Val hi I am from greece.......is so difficult our languege?😂

[@legaleagle46]

Not at all. Even the alphabet and the writing system are easy. Η ελληνική γλώσσα είναι πολύ ωραία καί πάρα πολύ εύκολη! :)

[@lilye1715]

@Nick Ovesen Hi Nick, I'm not a native but have been learning for a few years. My advice is - keep practising, keep it fun, don't be afraid to make mistakes and focus on being understood, not being perfect. Don't let the alphabet hold you back from learning more either - I personally found that learning some phrases and vocabulary was more helpful to teach me letters and pronunciation than trying to memorise the alphabet over and over. Also - I can really recommend the Language Transfer course on youtube as a good introduction :) hope that helps a little, and good luck!

[@clarav.6771]

I love Greece and often go there on vacation, and I always try to learn some useful phrases in the language of the country I'm travelling to. It's nice to see how the face of the native person lights up because you took the time to learn some basic words or sentences. I think it also shows respect in a way. Anyway, I should actually be studying right now....

[@samsanders7428]

why do single words change in sentences?

[@ReptilianTeaDrinker]

Thank you for this video. I have Greek Cypriot family. My mum is half Greek Cypriot and my grandmother is Greek Cypriot, as is her side of the family. I don't know much of the language, but have been trying to learn for years. I only know a couple of words and phrases. This was a very educational video! :) I noticed Greek Cypriot has some slight differences to traditional Greek, like some pronunciations are different and there are some differences in spelling, so it can be confusing. For now, I'm focusing on just Greek. lol

[@BankruptGreek]

I am a native Greek. I recently came to Cyprus and learned a lot of the differences, the correct way of writing is the same and Cypriots are not encouraged to write like they speak as much. The good thing is they can understand mainland Greek perfectly and can even speak in almost perfect mainland accent. although I sometimes can't understand them when they speak with their native accent. If you got any questions please feel free to ask.

I like greek and what really disturbs me to this day is when americans pronounce the names of greek deities. For ex they will say AIR-EASE when saying “ares”

[@user-fr3us1vi8o]

이치고 OMG finally someone who knows how to properly pronounce Greek words!!!

[@Sybaris_Rex]

Typical garbage trying to dunk on Americans. Literally every language has their own way of pronouncing Greek deities. I'm American. I speak Greek. However, I pronounce the names the way they are pronounced in English when speaking English because I'm not a smug asshole.

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

@@Sybaris_Rex I'm guessing German and Dutch isn't true to the original pronunciation. I would think romance languages would be more in-line with the Greek pronunciation.

[@ashanbroonline9926]

[@youtubecommenter4069]

I see where French got a good number of letter and sound combinations even though it is considered primarily a Latin vernacularized language.

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

I was already familiar with most of the Greek alphabet because I come from a STEM background. Therefore, memorizing which letters have which sounds wasn't really much of a problem for me. The only ones that took a bit of training were the letter that looks like an "n" is pronounced like a Spanish/Italian "i." Secondly, the letter "v" is pronounced like an "n." Those two letters occur very frequently in Greek. There were a couple other Greek letters I was less familiar with which don't appear very frequently. Namely, chi is pronounced like an "h" and eta is pronounced like a "z." I don't think it's necessary for a beginner to make a distinction between the "ts" and "tz" sounds, even though most books do. The "ts" is particularly common in Italian. The most notable example being pizza.

There aren't, only one ρ exist and sounds, but when the ι follows made the pronuncion a little bit different.

[@mltlondon]

[@ehonda7831]

In guides like this it is assumed that many of the sounds are the same, which is not right. S is not the same, obviously. I'm trying to say it like a Greek but I can't do that easily.

[@ST52655]

I’m here to learn Greek to enhance my Bible study. My native language is English, but I’m also fluent in Spanish.

[@troybonner91]

I have an ancestor who lived in the Colony of Virginia in the late 1600's and his name was "Elias Elexander Garganus" (he signed it "Elias Elex'r Garganus"). I know that there is a region in Italy called Garganus, but some say the family is Greek. Can someone tell me if "Elexander" is a Greek pronunciation for "Alexander" or if that is a common spelling there?

[@feronimus7723]

Elexander is not a greek pronunciation of alexander. Source : I am greek and my name is Aleksandros

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

@@feronimus7723 The letter "a" is one of the most conserved letters in Greek, romance, and Germanic languages.

[@someperson9536]

When reading Ancient Greek, should one use the modern Greek pronunciation scheme? I was just wondering because many people do not use the modern Greek pronunciation scheme when reading Ancient Greek.

[@chiaraippoliti]

It depends on your purpose of learning Greek. If it's to use during travel to Greece or read modern literature, then you should use the modern version. If you plan to read old literature, then ancient Greek is for you.

[@friedrichhayek8628]

Some Person Doesn't matter anyway. Socrates can't hear you so read ancient Greek with any way you want

[@MrSoundSeeker]

I find this very easy for Polish people. Sounds like R, Dz, ps, ń - well we use it every day. Especially this beautiful RRRRRRRR sound that is sooooo familiar (and sooo difficult for English speakers).

[@HollywoodF1]

But Polish doesn't have the θ sound that English and Greek share.

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

@@HollywoodF1 That just means a Polish person should make two or three spreadsheets from a couple Greek phrasebooks consisting of words which contain the letter theta. Doesn't take very long. As an English and Spanish speaker, I applied this same approach to "gli" construction in Italian. I even made videos with this type of drill. A list of ~20 words, only takes about a minute to read. That is, first the foreign word is read, then the native synonym(s) are read.

[@AlexH4774]

Wow, it's so similar to Cyrillic

[@eurovisionfan_1]

Ivan Lunev well, Cyrillus (from Greece) made that alphabet, so it makes sense.

[@danaeraptis1024]

Yes it is, because the person who constructed the Cyrillic language was Greek.

[@helendeandrade3461]

Cyril was Greek, so he just adapted the Greek alphabet.

[@InfiniteUniverse88]

Greek uses a Cyrillic writing script. As opposed to a Latin writing script, which is used by the west.

[@user-bv4iz1ec8h]
