First Steps in the Greek Language 

how can I get Pimsleur?

Is that possible to know how to achieved that level to speak it? I'm learning everyday but still struggle! Even if I enjoy the process!

Neueregel, I have a doubt about the Biblical and modern Greek, is it different? Can you read the original Bible that was writen in Biblical Greek even though you speak the modern Greek?

Neueregel does "yashu" means hello? Wondering

Julissaonfleek Yia means hello, Yia sou literally means hello to you. Avoid using the ''sh'' sound because there is not an ''sh'' sound in Greek.

Tut Ank Amun It's not that different. You can understand way more than 30% of the Bible using just Modern Greek. Probably around 70% or even higher. Vocabulary is basically the same, the only thing that changes a bit is the grammar.

Tut Ank Amun I think older people would still be able to understand more than 30% though. It's not like it's a completely different language. And also yes you are right, yia sou literally means health to you, I was highlighting the ''sou'' part which means ''to you''.

Robert Æsir Hahahahahhaha For me its the same thing. I had already learned english and I rechead, after that, B1 intermediate (between b1 and b2) in german. I'm on the peak that you need to get so much input in the language in order to achieve vocabulary and know the normal daily-life sentences... I just started greek today, cause I think being fluent in german is now a matter of time and effort spended.

yes seriously learning Greek takes fews years to become reasonably fluent, he gave us his one man show with Kalimera the video is over

Realistic thinking German is good too.

true I forgot that the great philosopher Schopenhauer is german. Big names of philosophy came from germanic tongues.

Ancient greek was a language of philosophy, not modern greek. They may have the same name (greek) but they are two completely different languages.

interesting. I often contrast the Confucianist side of Chinese culture with the creative Taoist side

How did it go?

@@user-us7zt5fz5j still haven’t moved on yet enjoying Japanese for the time being

@@harekization Nice, I'm also learning Japanese at the moment. I'm already Greek so maybe I'll try to learn ancient greek in the future, we'll see.

I am not into these memory systems. i just prefer to enjoy reading and listening, mostly.

Here Greek site with free Greek audio readable books !! www.ebooks4greeks.gr/tag/audiobooks

Thanks. I 'll save this for later when I reach that level.

We need some people to step up and provide enough content to make Hebrew a supported language. The same is true for any language that we don't support right now. I hope it happens by the time I get on to Hebrew.

Here is what LingQ says about adding supported languages. We are regularly asked to add new languages to LingQ. We would love to have all languages on the site but we find that without a certain critical mass of content, new languages are not successful on the site. Therefore, we have decided that we will add new languages only if members can provide that solid base of content required for a language to be successful. We require the following to add a new language:2 audio hours of Beginner lessons5 audio hours of Intermediate lessons5 audio hours of Advanced lessons These lessons may be original content or third party content for which permission to share has been obtained. Only courses with high audio quality and matching text along with quality images and descriptions will be accepted. If you believe you have gathered enough material to meet these requirements please contact us.If a language qualifies to be added we will translate and record our LingQ beginner courses and add the language as a supported language.

BTW Hebrew is a beta language Here is the list.ArabicCzechFinnishEsperantoHebrewLatinNorwegianRomanianTurkish Ukrainian

Well, what a pity. Hopefully more content will be added soon. Thanks for the response!

Hahahaha. Really.

Unfortunately none of this helps me remember new vocabulary.

Nobody got time to look up entomology of every new words

It's text-to-speech.
