So I've been using Google Translate to learn how to read and write some of the phrases I've been wanting to learn in Greek. There’s good news and there’s bad news… The good news is, I am completely comfortable typing in a word in English and having my computer spit it back out at me in Greek. The bad news is, I’m not very motivated to speak or listen to it! I should have seen that coming as I am NOT an auditory learner.
I will be able to easily use Google Translate while in Greece, and that is pretty cool. I was 13 the last time I traveled in Europe, and I did not have an iPhone, I couldn't easily access all the languages I needed throughout the trip, we relied on our tour guide Natasha who spoke six different languages. I am excited to use Google Translate. But I still want to try to SAY some of the phrases. And that is definitely a work in progress.
Here are some of the key words I’ll be using:
restaurant → εστιατόριο
house → σπίτι
apartment → διαμέρισμα
church → εκκλησία
I will practice saying these words. I want to be able to ask how to get to those places, so I can at least practice those words and put a quizzical look on my face and hope for the best!
