Greek Online Lessons | A1 | Alphabet - Hand Writing 

I didn't know that!! It sounds very interesting! I never had a Portuguese speaking student before :o) Thank you for your comments. It is really important for me

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos I am from Brazil, where we speak Portuguese. It is amazing how many words are the same! Thanks for the videos!

And from what I understand, the grammar of the Portuguese language is influenced by the Greek language as well. ​@@greeklessonsonlinevideos

For Example, in the portuguese language have the Suffix -nico, wich comes from greek νικος ( nikos )

Very soon :)

Ευχαριστώ! You should always start writing from the top! ζ -> looks like the English -j with a line on the top ς -> you can do it exactly like the English -s ξ -> it is like the greek -ε with a small tale

Can you speak it now?

I’m sorry I wanted tompost on the former video 😅

I would say that's because there are different hand writings..the letters ξ, λ, κ, ρ have more than one or two ways to write them. It is up to you which one you will choose. The variation has to do with calligraphy too, like the letter π. Hope that helps!

Thank you Claire! The truth is that you cannot tell from the writing if someone is a native or not.. at least I cannot! I have not native students that have such an amazing handwriting that you could swear that they are natives!

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos Very interesting. I first went to Ioannina to classes but it was so difficult. Even though I am English, I did not understand the grammar terms and I think all of the students from other countries did and it made me feel very stupid and meant it took me weeks until what I guess should be simple terms like Definite Article and Indefinite Article meant. I was so frustrated. Nominative, accusative etc. I nearly went mad! I am now trying again and have many books but have just found your tutorials on line and they are the best ever! I can't wait to learn more. I am probably just past beginner but can't wait to get round to practise speaking Greek as soon as I can as, of course, that is the best way to learn and get corrected. Any excuse to go to the most wonderful country in the world! Also, it is very hard to find workbooks and when you can they are so expensive so I need to find some online - or perhaps you could devise some - all your viewers and students would happily pay you for them I am most certain - perhaps with audio tests as well. I am not sure - do you already have a website? You have a lovely way of teaching. I can't compliment you enough!

For an English speaker accusative, genitive, plural and the articles can be challenging since they don't exist at all in english. I am preparing a grammar book for the intermediate level at the moment. For the A1 and A2 level I use mostly other books. Which ones did you try? I could help you choose!

A bit yes!

Yes

Yes you can!
