Useful Phrases for Orthodox Christians

Postby hypnos » September 16th, 2016 10:48 pm

There are a lot of people going on a pilgrimage to Greece. I guess they want to enjoy talking to other Orthodox Christians like they do it in their local church. I am also one of them. It seems that there are only words/phrases for non-Orthodox Christians.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Religious related texts or phrases use a language that is very old Greek, not spoken anymore and in our site we teach modern Greek which has many differences in the grammar (declension, conjugation, forms of certain words.) It would be like comparing Latin (sort of) and the modern Italian language, to give you an idea.

So it is not the scope of this language learning site to focus on religion matters or phrases. We do have some cultural series that talk about specific holidays including some religious ones, but since our users come from all over the world, subjects such as religion, for example, or politics among others, are very sensitive among a multi-cultural audience. Instead we focus on everyday situations that people travelling or living and working in Greece might come across.

Kind regards,

Stefania
