Hi all, I have been trying to learn Greek for a while now and I know enough to get by (ask directions, order a meal that kind of thing) but I want to learn more. I came up with the idea of surfing the web for children's nursery rhymes and songs with English sub titles but I haven't had much success.

Is there anyone out there who could perhaps post me some links to things like this if they exist? I think that learning like a child would be much easier. Thank you.

Erm... nothing like what you ask for Gina, but try one of the simple BBC courses like the ones at ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/greek/talk/

Welcome to CF.

αχ κουνελάκι κουνελάκι ξύλο που θα το φας.
Μέσα σε ξένο περιβολάκι τρύπες να μην τρυπάς.

etc..

Gina, if you want message me and I can give you material on learning Modern Greek.

Why she has to message you before you give the material? :roll:

Here are free lessons for learning Greek: http://www.kypros.org/LearnGreek/

It is easier for small children to learn a new language so maybe your assumption is not correct

For adults the best way to learn the language is proper lessons and trying to talk in Greek with native speakers.... so try that and don't worry if you will make many mistakes in the beginning.

Why learn Greek? Learn Cypriot or Choirokitian! :wink:

Thank you all for the suggestions. I wish I could practice with Greek or Cypriot people but I live in the West Midlands of England and don't know any Greek people to practice with but thanks any way.

Go to your nearest university and ask for a Cypriot tandem partner.

If you need books, message me.

Thank you, the nearest University to me is Wolverhampton which is very close. I might give this a try!

There are tens of thousands of Greek Cypriots in Birmingham.
