5: Big Fat Greek Worms: Discovering the Ingenious Language with Dimitris
In this episode we celebrate a new milestone: the Easy Greek YouTube channel has reached 50k subscribers! We invited Dimitris to learn a little bit more about his passions but also his family, heritage and languages.
We also discussed the history of the Greek language and its influences on today's Europe and why his students decided to learn the language of mythology and philosophy.
Finally, Dimitris shares his approach to raising multilingual children and his language-learning tips for grown-ups.
