I’ve been promising that if I get Cyprus citizenship, I’ll learn Greek. It’s about time I start acting up on that promise…
I will be participating in the Greek course that our company organized for its employees. Starting next Tuesday, I’ll have one and a half hour lectures twice a week. The teacher, I’ve heard, has good reputation and a lot of experience in teaching Greek to foreigners.
I’ll keep you posted on how this will go. Or you’ll notice yourself - Greek alphabet looks very much like Russian cyrillics. And I am not going to post anything in Russian here. So, if you see something you can’t read - it means the courses is doing very good and I learn Greek faster than I can start a new blog (trust me, I’m fast with starting new blogs).
Any pointers to language learning techniques, Greek language textbooks, and other tips, are, as always, very welcome.

Suddenly, it seemed like there was much less information out there, than I thought there is. Tagged as: alphabet, encyclopedia, experience, greek, language, personal, study [...]
