In today's episode, we are going over the question words in Greek:

• τι
• πού 
• πόσος, πόση, πόσο
• πώς

• γιατί 

After that, we will answer the most commonly asked questions when you are learning Greek:

You will learn how to answer them:

In this episode, we will build our vocabulary by learning time-related words.  The learning part is divided into three sections.

The first one is about numbers from 1-12. Even though learning numbers is generally the most boring part when it comes to Greek, you will discover some interesting facts about them.

In the second one, we discussed about time-related nouns. Such as: 

• η ώρα
• η μέρα
• η εβδομάδα 
• ο μήνας
• ο χρόνος
• ο καιρός

and some days of the week: 

• το Σάββατο
• η Κυριακή
• το Σαββατοκύριακο 

We didn't get into details because Yiuli has devoted a complete video about them where she explains everything. You can watch it just by clicking on the following link:

Οι μέρες της Εβδομάδας στα ελληνικά

The video has subtitles, so we recommend switching them to help you understand the explanations better.

We also included the words: 

• το πρωί ~ το πρωινό 
• το βράδυ ~ το βραδινό 

The third part is about verbs. 

• μένω
• περιμένω 
• βλέπω 
• νομίζω
• ξέρω 

Question of the day: How can you recognize if a word is masculine or feminine? 

Φιλάκια,
Γιούλη & Έλλις

This episode is a small revision of what we've already learned together. 

Every beginner should master these ten important verbs:
ειμαι, κάνω, μιλάω, καταλαβαίνω, μαθαίνω, ρωτάω, διαβάζω, ξυπνάω, δουλευω and πηγαινω

If you can't recall all of them, no worries :) We know that it is tough to maintain all the new words and phrases. So, this episode is your chance to find out if there is anything you need to revise. As a teacher (and I am sure Ellis will agree too) can confirm that repetition is the KEY when it comes to learning foreign languages. 

In this episode, we also revised the following phrases: 

• γεια σου / γεια σας
• Από πού είσαι;
• μαθαίνω ελληνικά
• δεν καταλαβαίνω
• Να σε ρωτησω κατι;
• Φυσικά!
• Τι σου αρεσει να κανεις;
• Σου αρέσει να διαβαζεις:
• Τι δουλειά κανεις; 
• δουλεύω από το σπίτι
