What Greeks Think About Americans | Easy Greek 172 

American here and I have been obsessed with Greek Culture since I was a kid. Love love love Greeks. Very nice and welcoming people and I hope to visit the country someday !❤

This random group had a higher view of American life than I expected. As a Greek born American who recently acquired dual citizenship with Greece, and who came here as an infant, I think many of the interviewees overrated the "quality of life" in America. I will posit that it is probably the best place to be rich because your social obligation is minimal, and maybe the best place to get rich if you are a highly driven person or someone with a unique idea that can be turned into a successful product. That said, having visited Greece in each of the past two years, I would say that on an average income, Greece has a better quality of life and clearly a superior, healthy diet, and MUCH less obesity despite the abundance of food. Unless you are in the top 10% of Americans in terms of wealth, your life is most likely consumed by work and stress. There is a lot of alienation among the youth. We may have the best Universities, but the quality of secondary education is dependent on zip code. Unless healthcare is provided by your employer, the costs are prohibitive. The gun culture, though only fetishized by a relatively small minority, has a very high profile within the overall culture, and there is no comparison in violent crime rates. Also, the greatest thing about America, its Constitution and political stability have been shaken in recent years. The young man who said that America is 30 years ahead of today's Greece is way off. I was actually impressed by a lot of the infrastructure in Greece, save for the archaic plumbing system. The degree of digitization is comparable, and America's physical infrastructure has stagnated for decades in relation to the rest of the developed world. In the 1960's we were 30 years ahead of Greece, but for the past 45 years, an ethos of individualism gone amok has replaced the common good. I realize that it is tough for many of the young in Greece in terms of employment and salaries. However, I noticed that happiness was much less dependent on wealth than it is here. Please enjoy your historically significant and stunningly beautiful country. I plan to retire there when I can.

Plenty of Americans have to work two jobs to make ends meet. I’ve been doing so for several years. I hope to be able to visit Greece some day. I am enjoying studying the language though I am not proficient typing in it. Yet! ❤

Το παιδί με την σταφιδική κρίση μόλις έδωσε πανελλήνιες να υποθέσω. 😂😂

I visited athens for the first time last week and had a wonderful time! Hoping to officially move there in June. Your channel has been helping me learn Greek! Thank you for everything

I am the first of my Greek born parents born in the US. I’ve been to Greece in the 50’s,70’s, and 2019. People are the same people all over. Some smart, poor, rich, if you work you can make a good life. US has modern technology and maybe easier to advance if your are willing to work, and get lucky. Not everybody becomes a star or super rich. Americans admire Greece for the history, a more relaxed atmosphere, we don’t take the middle of the day off. I love my homeland but have always been in love with Greece and my blood. One always wants the best of both, but that’s life. Love your Easy Greek, very funny and informative to me.

I'm a Greek American who lived in Thessaloniki for 2 years. I was studying Byzantine Music. What I miss the most about Greece is the Orthodox faith as lived by those who are interested there. I know that most Greeks today are not really interested in Orthodox Christianity, but there are so many ways to be involved in an Orthodox Christian community there. I have no living relatives in Greece, but I have family by faith still there. Faith seems to be a little discussed aspect of life on Easy Greek. I love what you offer, though. Thank you so much.

Πολύ ενδιαφέρον βίντεο! Είμαι έλληνοαμερικανός που μένει στην Ελλάδα εδώ και δύο χρόνια, και κάθε φορά που λέω σε έναν Έλληνα ότι μετακόμισα απ' την Αμερική στην Ελλάδα με κοιτάνε με δυσπιστία και ρωτάνε "...μα, γιατί ήρθες εδώ;;;" Δεν μπορούν να καταλάβουν γιατί είχα φύγει απ' την πιο πλούσια χώρα του κόσμου για να μείνω στην Ελλάδα. Έχει πλάκα, αλλά η αλήθεια είναι ότι βαριέμαι να το εξηγήσω αφού το έχω κάνει τόσo πολλές φορές τώρα...τεσπα, ευχαριστούμε για το τέλειο βίντεο, να σαι καλά :)

Γεια σας από το Άλμπανι!

Down here in Australia, we have big Greek communities in our capital cities, especially in Melbourne. Post WW2, Greek immigrants greatly enriched the quality of our lives down here with their intelligence, cuisine, great coffee, fashion etc. The people you spoke with all seemed very well balanced, intelligent, perceptive and would be a pleasure to meet. I'm going to Athens in June this year because I've been fascinated with ancient Greek culture and its influence on the English language since I was a small boy. Even the word "alphabet" is derived from Greece. Your video made me even more excited to visit Greece after so many years. Keep up the good work!

As a Greek that lived in US for 5 years, I can say that our cultures are highly compatible.

Η κοπέλα με το ροζ το γηλεκάκι έχει απολύτως δίκιο ! Εμείς είμαστε γείτονες με τους "Αμερικανούς" (εννοώ ΗΠΑ) και προσωπικά ξέρω ότι ζωή δε είναι όπως στις ταινίες. Χαιρετισμούς από το Μεξικό (εδώ είμαστε χειρότερα).

Μου άρεσε η πρώτη απάντηση «Ποιους Αμερικάνους απ' όλους;». Στη Λατινική Αμερική το όνομα είναι πάντα ένα θέμα 😅. Πολύ ενδιαφέρον βίντεο!

Μετακομίσαμε Νέα Υόρκη όταν ήμουν 17 χρονών (τώρα είμαι 24) και θα είμαι απολύτως ειλικρινής- η ζωή σχεδόν καθημερινά δεν παλεύεται. Τα ενοίκια είναι στα ύψη, το φαγητό είναι στα ύψη και οι μισθοί μένουν στάσιμοι. Εάν δεν έχεις ασφάλεια υγείας, πας χαμένος. Αναγκαζόμαστε να πληρώνουμε τα δίδακτρα του Πανεπιστημίου γιατί ούτε η παιδεία δεν είναι δωρεάν σε αυτή τη χώρα, γι’αυτό όλοι καταλήγουν να χρωστάνε χιλιάδες σε δάνεια. Επίσης, είναι πολύ επικίνδυνα- σπρώχνουν κόσμο στις ράγες των τρένων, πυροβολούν κόσμο έτσι για την πλάκα, υπάρχουν ανιχνευτές μετάλλων σε σχολεία. Η Νέα Υόρκη είναι ΓΕΜΑΤΗ κατσαρίδες, αρουραίους, κοριούς και σκουπίδια- δεν είναι όλα όπως στις ταινίες. Πολύς κόσμος εδώ δεν έχει τρόπους και όντως δεν ξέρει βασική γεωγραφία ή ιστορία. Φυσικά και υπάρχουν άλλες πολιτείες που τα πράγματα ίσως να είναι καλύτερα, αλλά πάνω κάτω είναι παντού τα ίδια.

Όπως κάθε χώρα, οι Americans έχουν τις προκλήσεις και τις κριτικές τους, αλλά μην παραβλέπουμε τι τους κάνει να ξεχωρίζουν. Η αίσθηση του individualism και η αγάπη για freedom είναι πραγματικά εμπνευστικές. Οι Americans είναι γνωστοί για την creativity και τις groundbreaking inventions που έχουν διαμορφώσει τον σύγχρονο κόσμο. Από την τεχνολογία μέχρι τον πολιτισμό, η global influence τους είναι τεράστια. Είναι εκπληκτικό πώς συνδυάζουν αυτό το unique spirit με τόσο έντονη αίσθηση κοινότητας και εθνικής περηφάνιας. 🇺🇸🇬🇷

As an American learning Greek and interested in the Greek culture, its always interesting to hear others opinions from abroad, of course there are always positives and negatives, but still interesting nonetheless, και πολύ σεβασμό στον ελληνικό λαό, ελπίζω να το επισκεφτώ μια μέρα 💙🇬🇷

As a Greek Canadian, many greeks laugh at us Canadians and Americans because they think we have a better life and we can travel wherever we want because we have the money to do so, but they don’t realize how difficult it is to live in America and Canada until they move there

My great great grandparents moved to the states from Greece, however I do not really know anything about my Greek ancestry. I am currently teaching myself Greek so that when I finally go to Greece, i wont be a tourist. this has been a good video for what to expect as a Texan lol.

Everyone through out the world should know the Greek language it will educate your mind 😉

Aimez vous la france 😊 la france et la Grèce sont amies

great video some good incite in there but some very wrong ideas from some of the answers...i am greek american born and raised in nyc but have lived in greece on various occasions high school in greece , joined the navy in greece ..the misunderstanding i saw in some answers that america is perfect ...life is hard everywhere its how you adapt, the usa is great in many ways and also greece is great in many ways ...my dad was one of those "greeks " that left greece for the us for a better life way back in 1956 he did accomplish the better life but never forgot his mother country and always yearned for her it wasnt easy for him and for many others but the drive they had made them succeed in there endeavors ..present day is not different you work hard you will succeed no matter where you live. my proudest statement in all this is i am greekamerican and all my children know and love the greek culture , religion dance, life and have experienced greece in some way. greece will always be in my heart and i visit at least once a year because she calls me HOME.

Greeks love Americans. The thing that bothers Greeks sometimes is the foreign policy, but other than that when Greeks meet Americans they love to interact with them in a positive way. Also, almost every Greek that has traveled to America has loved it and has wanted to move there. Long Live Greece 🇬🇷 God Bless America 🇺🇸

People out of USA: “Oh my gosh, I wanna live in the US FOR EVER!” People in USA: “Here’s why I left the US and I’m not going back”

9:56 αυτός άνθρωπος καπνίζει μαριχουάνα, νομιζω😁😁😁

I am a duel citizen of Greece and America. I lived in America all my life. They only see the tourist aspect of America. Yes America has some good but there is massive social problems, terrible health care, crime rampant in cities, homeless everywhere, terrible public education, everything is expensive, and a massive wealth disparity. The richest people in America live like kings and queens, while the poor and even much of the middle class? They live a below par life. The one guy said "they are miles ahead of us in everything", no, America is most certainly not.

Θα μπορούσα να γράψω 1000 γραμμές για το θέμα αλλά θα κούραζα. Η Αμερική είναι πολύ μεγάλη, ανομοιόμορφη γεωγραφικά, πληθυσμιακά, φυλετικά, εθνολογικά, ιδεολογικά, μορφωτικά, θρησκευτικά, αλλά κυρίως και πάνω απ'όλα οικονομικά & ταξικά. Είναι λοιπόν πολύ δύσκολο να απαντηθεί αυτή η ερώτηση γενικά και αόριστα για όλους τους Αμερικάνους. Άλλη ιδέα έχω για τους πάρα πολύ πλούσιους, άλλη για τους μεσοαστούς και άλλη για τους φτωχούς, ειδικά πχ τους μαύρους του Νότου. Φυσικά υπάρχουν και εξαιρέσεις, εννοείται. Αν βάλουμε στην άκρη το οικονομικό & ταξικό για να δούμε τους μέσους Αμερικάνους, θα βλέπαμε μεγάλες διαφορές αν συγκρίναμε κάποιες Πολιτείες. Πιθανόν κάποιες πολιτείες να έχουν πιο μεγάλες διαφορές μεταξύ τους απ'ότι κάποια Ευρωπαϊκά κράτη μεταξύ τους που μιλάνε και άλλη γλώσσα... κυριολεκτικά! Πιθανόν κάποιοι μεγαλύτεροι που έζησαν και πιο ένδοξες ημέρες της Αμερικανικής Ιστορίας πχ που έζησαν έναν Κένεντυ, να έχουν καλύτερη γνώμη, ενώ κάποιοι που πέτυχαν τον Τράμπ, έχασαν πάσα ιδέα για την Αμερικανική Πολιτική και γι'αυτούς που τον ψήφισαν. Και δεν είπα πόσο μπορεί να μας επηρεάσει: η Ιστορία (πχ 2ος Παγκόσμιος Πόλεμος, Ψυχρός Πόλεμος, Πόλεμος του Βιετνάμ, Τρομοκρατία, Εξερεύνηση του Διαστήματος κα), η Αμερικάνικη Κουλτούρα του 20ου αιώνα, ο Κινηματογράφος, η Μουσική, οι κολοσσοί του Διαδικτύου κλπ. Αυτό που μπορώ να πω, αν έχει αξία η γνώμη μου, είναι ότι: H γνώμη μου για τους αμερικάνους πολίτες είναι πολύ καλύτερη από τη γνώμη μου για τους αμερικανούς πολιτικούς. Ευτυχώς υπάρχουν και εξαιρέσεις.

Gente o berro que eu dei a loja da Havaianas em Atenas nossa eu amo esse canal 💙 cada dia mais eu quero falar grego 🥰

It’s not easy to live in America these days… I love New York, but living there for six years made me realize it’s not living the fantasy created by the media. Most of my friends worked 2-3 jobs, were under a lot of debt, and did not have medical insurance… Despite having great friends, most felt quite indifferent towards people from other parts of the world.

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Δημήτρη για την φιλοξενία στο βίντεο! Καλά Χριστούγεννα σε όλη την κοινότητα του Easy Greek!!

Born in Greece and lived in America since 71. There is one word to describes Americans. You actually did a whole episode on this ONE word. :)

American (from Arizona) learning Greek here! Είμαι Αμερικανός (από την Αριζόνα) που μαθαίνει ελληνικά! The topic of Americans being overweight is in part due to the so-called abundance here, but also the sad reality of us largely being reliant on large corporations for all of our food. You have to go out of your way to eat locally-produced foods and it's a lot more expensive than the commercially available options you see in stores. Also, what's approved by the USDA is not in line with a lot of the European nations.. Take McDonald's - you can order a Hot 'n' Spicy here and abroad, but it is not the same product! The further issue of this is that most Americans aren't even aware of these systemic food issues and that's where you get a lot of well-intentioned people who are overweight because we're more at the mercy of big corporations dictating our diets rather than actually being raised to know what real food is. Or for those that do understand, having access to real food has become something only the wealthy (like, upper-middle class and higher) can afford. Also, I agree, we drive way too much. I'd love to see more places (especially in cities) that are more accessible for walking and biking. The USA is just so huge that in some states you're miles between destinations, but also the way the cities are set up is very inconvenient to travel unless you have a car (or it's over 100F for half the year, like where I live)! I think it's also hard to stereotype Americans because each state can vary so much. Like California culture is way different than what you see in Minnesota. In Arizona alone, most of it's an arid desert, but we also have mountains, lakes, and places that snow! I loved watching this video! I know American's get a bad rep in a lot of places but it's always interesting to hear from our friends in other countries! Ευχαριστώ!

It’s essential this channel focuses on the youth of Greece as they will be the future voices.

I think that Greece is progressing in many ways in contrast with the USA. State of the Art tech is only available in the bigger Cities. I personally think that the most modern Cities in the world are in Northren Europe, Gulf states, Far-East and Australia. With of course the exception of major Cities in Canada and the US. The reason for that is that the newer cities invest more in diversity of infrastructure and the implementation of technology for communal and collective use. Greece is overdriving this since 2019 by upgrading Green electrcity plants, roads, metro systems. America neglects most of it's infrastructure as long as the electricity works and the Gas Stations are operating, the country will not complain.

Καλές γιορτές stuff of Easy Greek! 😉

Love greeks and greek women. I'm from Israel❤

Έίμέ ίτάλίδά κάί ζόώ στην Έλλάδά. Γένίκά τόύς λίπάμέ τούς άμέρίκάόύς ...δίσκόλή ζωή, φάγίτά άπέσίά κάί πόλίς πόύ δέν έχόύνέ ήστόρίά. Ζίτώ ή Έύρόπή κάί δέν τόύς ζίλέβώ κάθόλόύ

5:45 σωστότατη!

For those Americans who love Greece you have to see a movie called „my beloved Smyrna“ it’s movie about where I’m from and how one American have save 350.000 people I’m so emotional every time I even thinking about and so respectful about Americans, God bless America 🇺🇸☦️🇬🇷🙏

Hahaha - I love the guy who talked about the stock market. Great video on so many levels: The randomness of interviewees with their random opinions of an entire population. Really entertaining!

ο mickey mouse ολα τα λεφτα 😂

I am first generation Greek American. My mother's family moved here in the 1950s when she was 12. My father was in his early 20s when he came here. My parents went to Greece often over the years to visit family...Athens, Santorini, many other places in the islands and the mainland. Sometime in the mid to late 1990s, my mother and I were talking about their latest trip from which they had just returned. I cannot remember exactly what we had been talking about specifically, but she was telling me about not speaking Greek in businesses, especially the shops. I had to stop and ask, "What? Why?". Her answer surprised me. Now, mind you, my parents speak Greek. It is their first language. If they didn't ever have to speak English, they probably wouldn't. Anyway, I guess people in Greece could tell that she didn't live there because of the way she spoke Greek and treated her badly because she was American. She said they could be quite condescending, like they were better Greeks than she was. Hearing the opinions of some of the people in this video, I can now finally understand why my mother was treated that way.

You had one job. "What Greeks think...". Where do you come from? -Albania. FFS. The only extremely stupid answer that made me feel secondhand embarrassment came by him. Well done.

Εγώ π μαι Ελληνίδα κ βλέπω τα βίντεο γ να ακούσω τις απόψεις των ανθρώπων 😂🥰

Its likely every Greek household has a relative, close or distance, that lives, or has lived, in America. Greece loves America!

Τέλειο βιντεάκι !!!! Τέλειο Θεμα

That kid at 4:22 I'm dead he was spot on about lacking geography skills and being fat 😂😂😂

Ευχαριστώ!

Χαίρομαι που σε γενικές γραμμές οι Ελληνίδες και οι Έλληνες έχουν μια θετική εικόνα για τους Αμερικανούς.

I am a Dual citizen right now. Greek and American. America is huge and it depends on where you are living. I am lucky to be here now because i am married to the best human ever via a gay marriage. Homophobia is an obstacle for the most of the Greeks. Not that you can’ t find it here. You are more accepted in this area where i am. Whoever you are, however you are. And i like people here more. Open minded, otherwise Americans are humans like Greeks. Greeks have a good reputation about hospitality, it depends on the Greeks. Americans here made me feel welcomed from the beginning.

Im a smynios and half Byzantine I never forget what that one America person did for us and save 350.000 people from Smyrna, in the time that the president of Greece didn’t care about us, god bless America 🇺🇸☦️🇬🇷🙏🙏

Very interesting.

Η Αμερική ήταν η χώρα της ελευθερίας, της δικαιοσύνης, και των ευκαιριών... Έτσι ήταν στην κοινή συνείδηση όλων, και ιδίως των Ελλήνων όπου χάρη στην δικιά τους εθνική ταυτότητα είχαν περισσότερους λόγους να τους ακουμπάει μία τέτοια εικόνα... Μέχρι που ήρθε ο Μπους. Μετά από αυτά που έγιναν υπό την δικιά του διοίκηση, αυτή η εικόνα της Αμερικής αμαυρώθηκε, κατεδαφίστηκε. Οι Αμερικανοί πλέον ήταν οι κακοί, οι ιμπεριαλιστές, οι κυνικοί. Ο Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος είχε πει κάποτε πως δεν υπάρχουν εθνικά δίκαια, αλλά μόνο εθνικά συμφέροντα, θέλοντας να δείξει τον ρεαλισμό που επικρατεί στην διεθνή σφαίρα. Ωστόσο για οποιονδήποτε έχει εντρυφήσει στην φιλοσοφική θεμελίωση των θεσμών, της κουλτούρας, αλλά και τις ιστορικές συνθήκες οι οποίες διαμόρφωσαν τον κοινό νού στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες, είναι κάτι παραπάνω από προφανές ότι αυτή η χώρα είναι από τις πρώτες αν όχι η πρώτη που θα είχε ένσταση με αυτόν τον απόλυτο αφορισμό, και νομίζω δικαίως. Αν και οι ΗΠΑ δεν ήταν αυτό που ήταν κάποτε, αυτή η παλιά βασισμένη σε αξίες και στην ηθική φιλελεύθερη μυθολογία γύρω από τις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες μου φαίνεται ότι έχει ακόμα και σήμερα ερείσματα αλλά και πράγματα να προσφέρει μέσα από τον ιδεαλισμό που γεννά στις καρδιές των ανθρώπων όλου του κόσμου, όπως γέννησε και στις καρδιές των Ελλήνων κιόλας απο τα χρόνια του 1821. Αυτή η ιδέα, αυτή η μυθολογία, αυτή η φιλελεύθερη φαντασίωση μπορεί ακόμα να προσφέρει ακόμα και αν δεν είναι πραγματική.

this one was especially a "fast" one. Everybody speaks super fast in this episode ... they are like accelerated

Ο ενας απο εκει δεν εχει ιδεα,λεει για ασφαλεια και ποιοτητα ζωης.Οτι να ναι,ο θειος μου μενει αμερικη και μου λεει πεφτουν πυροβολισμοι με το καλημερα.

It's weird that none commented about the healthcare system is US.

Γεια σου Δημήτρη, πώς είσαι; Αυτό το επεισόδιο του Easy Greek το βλέπω για δεύτερη φορά και το λατρεύω για άλλη μια φορά. Έστειλα ένα σχόλιο την πρώτη φορά και αισθάνομαι υποχρεωμένος να στείλω ένα ξανά. Πρώτα λίγα για το ποιος είμαι. Είμαι Ελληνοαμερικανός δεύτερης γενιάς που μεγάλωσε στη μητροπολιτική περιοχή της Βοστώνης της Μασαχουσέτης. Λέγοντας δεύτερη γενιά εννοώ ότι όλοι οι παππούδες μου ήταν από την Ελλάδα και οι γονείς μου ήταν η πρώτη γενιά που γεννήθηκε στην Αμερική. Κάτι άλλο λοιπόν, είχα την τύχη να μπορέσω να εργαστώ και να ζήσω στην Ελλάδα για 10 χρόνια και πήρα την ελληνική μου υπηκοότητα. Γιόρτασα. Αλίμονο, θα είμαι πάντα το Ελληνοαμερικανό αγόρι που μεγάλωσε στο Έβερετ της Μασαχουσέτης και όσο κι αν θέλω να είμαι σαν τους Έλληνες της Ελλάδας και να μιλάω και να επικοινωνώ σαν γηγενής Έλληνας. Απλώς θα είμαι πάντα αυτό το Ελληνοαμερικανό αγόρι. Αυτό το επεισόδιο του Easy Greek για το τι σκέφτονται ορισμένοι Έλληνες για την Αμερική το βρίσκω πολύ γοητευτικό και κατατοπιστικό. Για να δώσουμε μια μικρή προοπτική, πέρυσι στη Βοστώνη έγιναν περίπου 50 δολοφονίες σε έναν πληθυσμό κάτω των 500.000 κατοίκων. Ολόκληρη η πολιτεία της Μασαχουσέτης έχει αρκετά χαμηλό ποσοστό δολοφονιών σε σύγκριση με άλλες πολιτείες και υπάρχουν 49 περισσότερες Πολιτείες, μπορείτε να φανταστείτε; Ορισμένες Πολιτείες έχουν τρομακτικά ποσά δολοφονιών. Επίσης στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες της Αμερικής, σχεδόν το 25% των Αμερικανών ενηλίκων είναι επισιτιστική ανασφάλεια. Ίσως αυτό μπορεί να δώσει μια μικρή εικόνα για την Αμερική που δεν είναι τόσο ρομαντική.

Shout out to the guy who came to Albany. That's my city!

0:54 DUDE what the hell

I live in the United States & love Greece but that dude probably should have never went to Detroit 😅it’s known I’m the US as a really Hood Ghetto City that you can get killed there. I had a family member that worked there & she said you went did your job to u couldn’t afford to do anything else cause it was so dangerous

Im a greek woman 33 yo!! If any american guy reads this and is around my age more or less and is interested in a marriage between people from two countries you can comment!! I love american people and Id like to live there for some time.

7:00 εγώ όταν λέω ψέματα

2:00 Omg, she's so cute ❤️❤️❤️

I’m Peruvian and I live in New York City,my first contact with Greeks people was great but, historically not comparable with the Greek history, with the question about American you have to understand America is a large continent from north to south which there are many countries with different cultures and language, as Peruvian I’m American too from the south you might refer as United States of America.Adios amigo

🇬🇷🤝🇺🇸 much love brothers and sisters

Greek here, was in the States for about a month, trying to decide if I'd accept a job there. The first thing I said to my bestie after setting foot on Europe was "Finally, civilisation". Never going back there if I have a choice.

The person talking about passports knows as much about Greece as you do about China, and I doubt the other guy with the shooting incidents has lived in Greece for more than four years. Americans are kind

It's really hard for Greeks to judge Americans, because we're so immersed in Americanism we've basically swallowed America whole lol. Recently there was a TV music contest, and a little gypsy kid sang a 60's song of an old folk singer, and everyone was so moved and cheered, and I suddenly realised that gypsies are the only ones who have preserved Greek musicality, because they don't have TV. If you pick out a random person on the street and tell them to sing a song, it will probably be an English one, and even if Greek still not sounding Greek, more like an English song translated into Greek. Our source of information and role models stopped being our society and surroundings, and started being TV and the internet. I was born in Athens in 1978 and basically watched the same TV as an American of that age. If you ask me what's your favourite TV show or movie it'll probably be an American sitcom or a Hollywood movie, with a few exceptions. So in conclusion the hardest question for a Greek person isn't what Americans are like, but what Greeks are like. And this is our challenge for the future, to redefine being Greek, and not to pretend to be a Parisian or a New Yorker.

looking at my fellow Greeks, with sadness i need to say we grew weak! we need to embrace our tradition and free thought instead west degeneracy.

Σωστός ο νεαρός που μίλησε για την "Σταφιδική κρίση" και την φτώχεια που έφερε στον αγροτικό πληθυσμό...

Ernest Hemingway by A Foreigner I like Americans. They are so unlike Canadians. They do not take their policemen seriously. They come to Montreal to drink. Not to criticize. They claim they won the war. But they know at heart that they didn't. They have such respect for Englishmen. They like to live abroad. They do not brag about how they take baths. But they take them. Their teeth are so good. And they wear B.V.D.'s all the year round. I wish they didn't brag about it. They have the second best navy in the world. But they never mention it. They would like to have Henry Ford for president. But they will not elect him. They saw through Bill Bryan. They have gotten tired of Billy Sunday. Their men have such funny hair cuts. They are hard to suck in on Europe. They have been there once. They produced Barney Google, Mutt and Jeff. And Jiggs. They do not hang lady murderers. They put them in vaudeville. They read the Saturday Evening Post And believe in Santa Claus. When they make money They make a lot of money. They are fine people.

Στην Αμερική δεν τολμάνε να αρρωστήσουν....τόσο μπροστά είναι

8:05 «Ἡ Κόκκολα» 😁

Οι Ελληνοαμερικανοί είναι πιο Έλληνες ή πιο Αμερικανοί;

There are 330 million of us, and while there is usually some truth to stereotypes this is a very diverse country with good and not so good. I lived in Greece for 4 years back in the '90s and the same can be said for the Greeks. I originally came from Canada and I can honestly say that I can't think of a better country for a neighbor than America. Wish you Greeks could say the same for your neighbors.

Η κοριτσάρα με το ροζ αμάνικο τα είπε όλα. Μπράβο κούκλα μου. 👍❤👍 Επίσης όταν λέμε "Αμερικανοί" και εννοούμε τις ΗΠΑ είναι λάθος. Σαν να λέμε ότι οι Ευρωπαίοι είναι μόνο οι Γερμανοί. Και η μεγαλύτερη απογοήτευση είναι να βλέπω ότι η νεολαία της Ελλάδας έχει πολύ χαμηλό επίπεδο στον τρόπο έκφρασης και σκέψης.......

4:43 αυτός με τον γαλάζιο τον είχα στο μάτι μου lol.. 🥰

Ευχαριστώ. Είμαι Αμερικανός και θέλω να δω την όμορφη χώρα σας

Here's my experience I showed again abd and again the same thing Greece and the US it's the same thing. People want the same things Looking for the best education and opportunities money can buy. The best healthcare and pension money can buy. The best house and private businesses they can. And drive their car's for a $1 per gallon (that's 4 liters) Both want to get rid of the state red tape and BOTH are fighting eachother when politics comes to the surface. For me the star and stripes it's just another rad on the Greek flag and the greek flag it's just another star on the star's and the stripes. PS I believe that Greeks are mad not being American citizens. BTW Greece looks like Colorado and Utah with Pine trees and islands 🎉 MAX.

hman

Γεια Δημητρη, Γεια Μαριλενα, Τι θα λέγατε για ένα επεισόδιο για στοματική-οδοντική υγιεινή, με ερωτήσεις όπως; Κάνεις οδοντικό νήμα; Πόσες φορές βουρτσίζετε τα δόντια σας; Χρησιμοποιείτε στοματικό διάλυμα; Πώς σας φαίνεται το οδοντιατρείο στην Ελλάδα σε σύγκριση με άλλες χώρες; Hi Demetri, Hi Marylena, How about an episode on oral-dental hygene, with questions like; Do you floss? How many times do you brush your teeth? Do you use mouth wash? What do you think of the dental practice in Greece as compared to other countries? Σταθης

Wow. I’m Greek American. Much of what they are basing their opinions on is bad data. I can still gleem some good points but overall this is not accurate.

Μου αρέσει που διάλεξες να ρωτήσεις νεαρά παιδιά που δεν έχουν ιδέα για την πραγματικότητα, για να μην πικράνεις τους ΗΠΑνούς θεατές σου 😆

0:32 , 7:43 lol this girl rocks 🎯👍👏👏😅here's my impressions of the Americans I've met: 1. very ignorant people, yet they have the complacency to comment on or even intervene world issues and other countries that they don't have much idea about.. they fall for the mainstream a lot, be it 'news' or 'hollywood' 2. they live in their own american bubble (can be too caught up with fun and entertainment) and approach things with that which makes them superficial..4:30 and quite true, so their relationships are insincere,superficial and temporary 3. one positive thing could be they tend to be optimistic and don't put themselves down easily in face of adversity 4. somebody should remind them america is not the best country in the world and they are not the most free lmao
