I'm greek but moved to the UK at 3 and I'm currently learning better than broken greek
I enjoy that you say the phrases at speed, as well as slowed down. It is nice to hear the break down of sounds, but it really helps to have a target speed for fluent speech as well.
Still watching in 2023! Please lina make new videos ❤
Enjoy your lessons. I want to learn greek because I am seriously considering becoming greek orthodox .
Going to Greece soon for the 7th time !! Love your country: the sun, history, food, friendly people etc Thanks Lina for your video: it's the BEST on KZread !! Greetz from Belgium ;)

The good thing is that you don't only recite these sentences, you also explain a bit of structure, I like that! I practise several languages and watch loads of videos on KZread about them, but that is rarely done, thumbs up !

As a Greek, this is very helpful for everybody , This was very interesting to watch even if i am already Greek and i know that language very well. 4 years after and i am still surprised! If someone is a foreigner here , i *HIGHLY* recommend you to study and learn from this video 💜 Well done again

I would say schools should teach the ancient Greek language - I have done a short course of Ancient Greek in high school and Latin. I also did one year of Latin in University. The roots of many European languages are based in Greek and Latin. This helped me learn Italian, French, some Spanish and German. I can carry an informal conversation in Greek without difficulty, but when listening to Greeks speaking with one another it is very difficult to catch up with the speed they speak. Να είναι καλά.

I was in Oionfyta from 1995-2002 , every summer break . I was so good in Greek. Thank you Lina for bringing back the memories.
Καλημέρα! Τι κάνετε; Today I just found out 2 greek channels and yours was one of them. That's amazing to have a channel like this, so I can learn greek without having to pay an online course. I am Brazilian, but I am fluent in English, so I can learn greek while improving even more my listening skills. That's just amazing! Ευχαριστώ!
Dear Lina, thank you so much for taking the time to produce these powerful lessons. I moved near Nafphlio 2 years ago. Although I have learned more than I ever thought that I could, I'm restricted because I have yet to get my national Greek visa. So, I come back to my non Greek speaking country and don't use my adopted language. So I thank you for helping me study and hear and speak Greek. Phrases works best for me. Again, efcharistol para poly! (not using my Greek phone so I'm sure I misspelled this)

I am so happy to have found your videos, my great grandparents came to USA from Greece & I have always wanted to learn Greek, but the family that actually knew & spoke it were all passed away before I was born. Simanteris is my family name. The way you teach is so easy I can start teaching along w/ myself, my youngest son & my granddaughter (who calls me Yaya, & my husband is Papa, short for Pappous). Such an interesting heritage to have & learn about, my oldest "yios" & I have been studying our heritage for a while, our goal is to eventually visit Greece. And my "yios" got a partial sleeve tattoo w/ "freedom or death" written in Greek letters, (as we learned is the meaning behind the number of stripes on the Greek flag), the words are tattooed inside what looks like old Greek armor, it's very cool!

This is so awesome you thank you for sharing this with the world!
This is a great review of a lot of basic phrases that i grew up with in my house (and a few i didn't know!) but so nice to have them explained and spoken slowly so to understand how the gramnar works. I love your voice too! I'm excited to watch more of your videos Lina :-)
Thanks so much for this. It's the most helpful way of learning Greek I have found. I really like the way you explain each phrase and the grammar. Please keep posting these videos
This is brilliant Lina. And it's fantastic that you were able to read it slowly! Well done!
Hi Lina, excellent video! Polí kaló! Greetings from Ispanía! We love your country and your people, The Greek sound system is very similar to the Spanish one, so I guess it's easy for us Spanish-speakers, regardless of the country (Spain or Latin America). And as you know, we have lots of words from Greek: teléfono, periferia, gastroenteritis, podólogo, Pedagogía... So this also helps. Even though some are false friends! : liturgia in Spanish is not opening times. I would love to visit Greece again! The little island of Elafónissos was paradise! Also Mystrás, Athens, Mikynes... Keep up the great work with your videos! Besos desde España!!
a Million thanks for this!!!! I love what you did!
Your videos are the best I have found for learning Greek. They have been a big help for me in the past couple years and it shows every time I visit.
Thanks Lina, your classes are very helpful to me.
Thanks Lina, I'm trying to improve my greek! I love your accent, it reminds me my english-greek-italian conversations with my friends in Pireus!!! Hoping I can go back there soon!!!
perfect teaching ... thank you so much
