This language just might be crazy enough to work.

>>"auto" is pronounced "aftosh"
Lmao if this is 3 much 5 you never learn french

>They use a semicolon for a question mark

Neat

it's exactly "it's greek to me", right?

wait till yo see words like αλληλοεξουδετέρωση
or some of the verbs

Dropped.

I am Greek

ego no espekos hellenikos
amerikani kanot into demokratías

jasu

ti kanis?

>αλληλοεξουδετέρωση
What it means

>ωτορινολαρυγγολόγος
>σkουληkομυρμηγkότρυπα
>αντισυνταγματάρχης

Do ancient greek, way beter pronunciation
>tfw they went from "beta" to "vita"

>went from beta to vitae
what's wrong with that

IT'S THE ALPHABET, NOT THE ALPHAVIT

it may not be the alphavit, but you sure are the alpha dimwit

It may be a wild ride but after a year you will be proud that you know Greek. Intonation is helpful. Grammar will be very tough probably. But it's a beautiful language.

After perhaps a year or so you will start to recognize stuff like
αλληλο is a prefix which means mutual
εξουδετέρωση means neutralization
αλληλο+εξουδετέρωση= mutual neutralization
These are also composite words. You probably know the first one, it's otorhinolaryngologist. We don't even say this word most of the times since there is an informal form, like you have ENT.

Give it a shot user. Visit /lang/ for resources if you haven't already.

I gave up greek after some months, it´s really hard. Sounds so foreign to me, it might as well be arabic.

your letters look very nice

what the fuck are you talking about, you're exaggerating.
French is easy for english speakers.
It's not because -tion is pronounced -sion and there's silents letters that it's a difficult language

greek pronounciation is pretty straight forward. english has way more weird shit going on

Greek is very easy to pronounce and pronuciation follows spelling, the only easy thing with greek. Only 24 letters (plus some double) and many make the same sound - maybe thats why I thought everything sounded the same..

>They use a semicolon for a question mark

Didn't know this, thanks user.
