Lesson 10 – Present tense

This is the special anniversary (epetios) of our podcast! We got 10! I thank you all for your nice comments. I would like you to know that they give me the desire to go on. Without so many listeners that give me power to continue, I would have no good reason to make these podcasts. In this lesson we learn the present tense of all but the irregular verbs. Stay tuned for the outtakes in the end…

I thank you (for one person) se efharisto σε ευχαριστώ
I thank you (for more than one) sas efharisto σας ευχαριστώ
Thanx! efharisto ευχαριστώ
You are welcome! (as a reply to a thank you) parakalo παρακαλώ

Well Done for another Excellent lesson!!!! It was also nice to see the outtakes at the end, oh and efharisto for the help with the itunes problem now i can finally catch up!

Wow… what a wonderful idea :-) I just found this site and these podcasts are amazing! Now I think I’m going to do some hard studying to catch up …

Thank you Em for your comment. We are planning to make a podcast with summary of the knowledge for all podcasts, so it will be easier for the starters to begin.

Will you please do a podcast that explains the Greek Alphabet? Thanks!

Great to find this site. I’ve been learning Greek and travelling to Greece since 1966. You could say I am a philelene! Just back from a month in the Kyklades – fantastic. I sing with a Greek band in Devon. We are called Ta Filia (The Kisses). We have made a demo disc which got played in Folegandros and in Irakleia. We have been invited to perform in the July festival 2008 in Folegandros. Keep doing the podcast and efharisto para poli.

This course is just genial. I´m a spanish girl with curiosity for this language, but thanks to this course, this curiosity is becoming passion, and right now, I want to learn more and more. It´s so funny & easy with you!!!
