*να τα εκατοστήσεις = may you turn a hundred/ usually an expression you use on birthdays, but obviously can have different meanings too.
* χυλόπιτα = a kind of traditional Greek pasta. In slang, to eat χυλόπιτα means to be rejected, and to throw someone a χυλόπιτα is to dish out rejection.

It's impossible to be disappointed by D and M. And Danai did a terrific interview. One "problem" with Greek is that it is so damn beautiful that one can get lost in the sound and forget to catch the meaning of what is being said. Thanks for all you hard work.

What a mind expanding resource. I tried to study Greek at different times in my life. Phase 1: Vacation Greek where I learned through osmosis all the insults, niceties and restaurant speak but could not truly communicate Phase 2: Mind numbing classes that relied on memorization, archaic methodology and old world texts. Phase 3: the slow Dawning of Technology I became bilingual in Spanish and I guess that was the real linguistic trampoline. I began jumping up and down seeking out ways to enhance my human experience through language acquisition (poetry, stories, movies, music and eavesdropping ) and then slowly I noticed a collective consciousness forming out there in cyberspace. Although Greek was not a popular mainstream language, I could finally find Skype classes and limited online resources. THEN, Kaboom! Easy Greek appeared bringing with it a conscientious and entertaining approach that encompasses not only written and spoken Greek but also includes elements of culture, history, and contemporary society. I shower you with praise for your efforts and your invaluable contribution to the Greek learning enthusiasts around the globe. Bravo!

I absolutely love your KZbin channel! It's tons of fun, and informative. I was born and raised in the USA, but have been to Greece many times as a child and teen (back in the 70's... Olympic Airways!). My father (passed away in 2015) is from Patras, and emigrated here in the 1950's and became a doctor in NY. Since I have not been there in decades, I have forgotten much of my Greek, but not all of it. I think I retained some of it by listening to Greek music all this time. I can speak it on a basic level, but get lost with the more advanced words and phrases. I was in Greece a few weeks ago for the first time in decades (stayed at my cousin's apartment in Pangrati, Athens), and many people told me that my Greek is good, but I think they were just trying to be nice. In any case, your channel has helped me 'gain back' some of my ability to speak Greek, and I thank you for that! Keep up the great work!

Βρήκα το AlphaBetaGreek πριν από λίγα χρόνια, πριν καν ήξερα για το Easy Greek. Η Δανάη ήταν τόσο παθιασμένη και παρακινητική, δημιούργησα έναν λογαριασμό Instagram για να την ακολουθήσω. Όταν έγραψε και μίλησε, ήθελα να καταλάβω! Τώρα είμαστε ευλογημένοι και με την ομάδα Easy Greek. Ελπίζω ότι η Δανάη ήταν εθελοντική, όταν ρώτησε αν χρειάζεστε περισσότερη βοήθεια! Καλή τύχη και ευχές.

Without realizing it until the moment it was published, this felt like a long-awaited episode :D and very well made! Great interviewer, great interviewees. Happy there was an additional microphone to get some clear sound on those answers. I'm trying to learn Greek up here near Aarhus, Denmark, and it is great to learn some more about the people who finally revived the Easy Greek series (which I follow closely) from its sad state of only having those 3 videos back in the day. You've done a wonderful job and I'm just enjoying the mere fact all this content now exists. Here's to many more :D

Γεια σου Δημήτρη. Γεια σου Μαριλένα. Ήθελα να σου γράψω εδώ και πολύ καιρό, αλλά ήθελα να μπορώ να το πω στα ελληνικά και δεν είχα ακόμα τις λέξεις. Είμαι κάτι μεταξύ αρχάριου και προχωρημένου μαθητή. Τα ελληνικά είναι διασκέδαση για μένα, και τα χρησιμοποιούμε μόνο στις διακοπές στην όμορφη Ελλάδα σας. Ας δούμε λοιπόν τι μου αρέσει στα βίντεό σας. - φυσικές καταστάσεις συνομιλίας - δίγλωσσοι υπότιτλοι - καλή προφορά (ειδικά ο Δημήτρης) - ενδιαφέροντα θέματα - διάλογοι χωρίς ανάγνωση - προσφέρει μια εικόνα της ελληνικής κοινωνίας Συνεχίστε την καλή δουλειά και καλή διασκέδαση στην παραγωγή των επεισοδίων σας. Hallo Dimitris. Hallo Marilena. Ich wollte euch schon lange mal schreiben, aber ich wollte das auch auf Griechisch sagen können, und dazu fehlten mir noch die Worte. Ich bin so ein Mittelding zwischen Anfänger und Fortgeschrittener. Griechisch bringt mir Spaß, und wir benutzen es nur für den Urlaub in eurem wunderschönen Griechenland. Also, werfen wir mal einen Blick darauf, was mir an euren Videos so gefällt. - natürliche Gesprächssituationen - zweisprachige Untertitel - gute Aussprache (besonders bei Dimitris) - interessante Themen - Dialoge ohne Ablesen - bietet einen Einblick in die griechische Gesellschaft Weiter so, und euch noch viel Spaß beim Produzieren eurer Episoden !! 🙂

I've just seen the Super Easy Greek episode 20 and I wanted to watch thgis interview. Ir was really interested and I've been studying the Greek and trying to learn the most I can in order to be able to understand and being understood when I get to Greece. I'm feeling a little lost because I have enought to study and I have to be back to review some verbs, but I don't care because since I was at school I have a big admiration for this culture which made a difference in many countries around the world. καληνυχτα!

Another very interesting and enjoyable video. I enjoyed the episode with readings from ancient Greek. Also the one in which I was introduced to the word "brokoloko"! I liked the one for difficult Greek words such as ensynaesthia: better than the English empatheia. One would that an empathetic person was one is governed by his passions. I I I liked the one on Greek music: it made me think of some of my favourite song. The last time I was in Greece was 2001. It was lovely to hear ordinary conversational Greek again. I liked the cat!

Hi all. I just wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in producing such an entertaining series. I feel this is the missing link in my studies of modern Greek. I have lots of Greek music, lots of text books with cds but this fills a gap and will motivate me to get going again with my studies. When you get out and about again, could you do a series on the various regional Greek accents and dialects? Thanks again and look after yourselves.

Αυτή η συνέντευξη ήταν πολύ διασκεδαστική, και εκπαιδευτική. Και ναι συμφωνώ πολύ ότι το πιο σημαντικό βήμα να μάθεις μια γλώσσα είναι να έχεις επαφή, και συχνά αυτό σημαίνει να δεις και ξαναδεις το ίδιο βιντέο ή ταινία μέχρι καταλάβεις τις λέξεις που δεν κατάλαβες πριν. Για παράδειγμα η δάσκαλα των ισπανικών στο σχολείο μου πριν δύο χρόνια μας είπε ότι όταν ήρθε στις ΥΠΑ τη πρώτη φορά ήταν καταθλιπτική και περούσε την ολόκληρη μέρα στο δομάτιο της βλέποντας τηλεόραση στα άγγλικα, και έτσι έμαθε τη γλώσσα. Αλλά ναι, πάντα έχεις και να χρησιμοποιήσεις τη γλώσσα, είναι παράξενο να πω γιατί βεβαίως δεν θα μάθεις σχεδόν τίποτα που ποτέ χρησιμοποιήσεις, έτσι δουλεύει το μυαλό. Σε άλλο θέμα, για τα σινεμά θερινά, αυτό είναι κάτι καταπληκτικό που δεν έχω δει ποτέ στη Νέα Υόρκη, αλλά υπάρχουν στην Ελλάδα και πάντα είναι μια καλύτερη εμπειρία.

Η δασκάλα των ισπανικών σου θα έμαθε να καταλαβαίνει τη γλώσσα, αλλά όχι να μιλάει ή να γράφει. Γι' αυτό προτείναμε κιόλας να γράφει κανείς σχόλια,. για να παράξει γλώσσα - όπως κάνεις εσύ πολύ καλά!

Δεν ήξερα ότι τα βιντεάκια είναι τόσα! Σημαίνει ότι ακόμη έχω να δω κάποια!!! Ευχαριστώ πάρα πάρα πάρα πάρα πολύ. Σχετικά με Πώς χρησιμοποιώ τα βιντεα για να μάθω την γλώσσα, Εγώ τα ακούω μια φορά χωρίς υπότιτλους και τη δεύτερη φορά προσπαθώ να επαναλάβω σε δυνατή φωνή κάθε πρόταση (όταν προλάβω) και την τρίτη φορά το βλέπω κανονικά διαβάζοντας και τους υπότιτλους. Μετά σημειώνω (εντάξει δεν το κάνω πάντα γιατί είμαι τεμπέλης ) τις καινούριες λέξεις, και, πολύ σημαντικό, τις εκφράσεις στο ankidroid, μια εφαρμογή που φτιάξει flashcards Για να τις επαναλάβω Μετά.

Thank you so much for these videos. Just quickly can I ask the community about the use of που in "και χαιρομαι που γνωριζω"? I thought "που" meant "where" but it seems to have a much wider usage than that. Any help would be really appreciated... ευχαριστώ!

Hi! Που and ότι are like that & which in English, when used as linking words! Που also means where, by the way, but whenever there is the possibility of confusion, the "where" που gets an accent: πού

You recommend to listen to the videos with and without subtitles. Can you tell me how I can do this? I didn't know it was possible! Would help a lot :) What would really help me, is to be able to choose the language of subtitle via the KZbin video settings. Are you thinking of implementing this?

A lot of people like having both languages. If we did the KZbin caption thing, then viewers would be forced to use just one of the two. Videos without subtitles are one of our perks for all Patreon members from the 2nd tier up!

I'm curious with Dimitri. Does he speak Greek or English with his father? I grew up in Australia and I always (and still do) speak Greek with my Greek born relatives and English with the ones born and raised in Australia.

ναι, αλλά υπάρχουν πάρα πολύ, ξέρω πολύ Αφγανούς που έμαθαν ελληνικά τέλεια και δουλεύουν σαν διερμηνείς η πολιτισμικούς μεσολαβητές, ιδιαίτερα σε μια οργάνωση που ονομάζεται "μετάδραση" και προσφέρει τους διερμηνείς της σε άλλες οργανώσεις στο ανθρωπιστικό τομέα στην Ελλάδα.

I love their videos and have learned a lot but in this interview above, they are ruining the Greek language with so many English words: "background"? "proofreading"? "Distract"? "Feedback"? "Editing"? There are words for these concepts in Greek!

We have made a whole podcast episode on precisely this widespread phenomenon: easygreek.fm/33 You are right, we should be trying to find the Greek alternatives as much as possible, and I don't mean this as an excuse, but for some of these words, the English counterparts are much more commonly used in everyday language than their Greek equivalents, "feedback" and "distract" especially. It's how loanwords make their way into languages.

@@EasyGreekVideos Κατάλαβα και σας ευχαριστω για την αληθινή σας απάντηση αλήθεια! It never stops there. I am dedicated to mastering 7 languages.and I see the disintegration of languages as slowly as it may be. It starts with "Hello" and "hi" and "goodbye/bye" and then we hear "Sorry." Then the pause words in English like "so" are used. It will not stop unless there is a conscious effort to employ perfectly adequate words in the host language. Anything less would eventually result in creoles forming whereby a learner of Greek, Spanish, Hebrew or Italian would first have to know English in order to study these bastardized languages. Maybe I will start my own trend moving forward. From now on in my native English I will employ "καρέκλα" instead of "chair" and "γεια σου" instead of "hello" and "goodbye." Όποτε the English γλώσσα και can look like this ετσι δεν ειναι; ;-)
