Let's look at the dialogue. |
Imagine two strangers who are discussing about their language abilities. |
When I read, I want you to pay attention to the word that represents a language. |
Find what the language is and see how it is used in the dialogue. |
Γεια σας, μιλάτε αγγλικά; |
(Ya sas, miláte angliká?) |
Hello, do you speak English? |
Ναι, μιλάω αγγλικά. |
(Ne, miláo angliká.) |
Yes, I speak English. |
Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow. |
Ναι, μιλάω [LANGUAGE]. |
(Ne, miláo [LANGUAGE].) |
Yes, I speak [LANGUAGE]. |
Now let's look at some other examples. |
Ναι, μιλάω ισπανικά. |
(Ne, miláo ispaniká.) |
Yes, I speak Spanish. |
Ναι, μιλάω ελληνικά. |
(Ne, miláo eliniká.) |
Yes, I speak Greek. |
Ναι, μιλάω γερμανικά. |
(Ne, miláo yermaniká.) |
Yes, I speak German. |
At this point |
we should know the languages in Greek are written with a lowercase letter |
unlike in English. |
