| INTRODUCTION |
| Jason:In each lesson of this 25 part series, you'll master a common question for Greek learners, and then learn how to answer it like a native. You'll learn how these key phrases work by breaking them down into each component. Then through repetition and new vocabulary, you'll expand your understanding of the question, its answers, and any variations. |
| GRAMMAR POINT |
| Jason:In this lesson, you'll learn how to respond to the common question ""Are you hungry?"" In Greek this is |
| Chrissi:Πεινάτε; |
| Jason:The first word in the question is |
| Chrissi:πεινάτε |
| Jason:""meaning are you hungry"" in English. |
| Chrissi:(Slow, by syllable) πεινάτε |
| Jason:Listen again and repeat. |
| Chrissi:πεινάτε |
| {Pause} |
| Jason:This pattern of first introducing a word at natural speed, providing the translation, breaking it down, and then giving it again at natural speed will be repeated throughout the series. Try to speak aloud as often as possible. |
| Jason:Now master the following pattern and responses to the question Are you hungry?? |
| Chrissi:Ναι, πεινάω λίγο |
| Jason:""Yes, I'm a little hungry.. Again, slowly. Repeat the phrase. |

| Jason:Now repeat. |

| {Pause} |
| Jason:And next |
| Chrissi:λίγο |

| {Pause} |
| Jason:Listen to the speaker say, Yes, I'm a little hungry., and then repeat. |

| Jason:To expand on the pattern, replace a little with enough. |
| Chrissi:αρκετά |
| Jason:enough |
| Chrissi:(slow) αρκετά (regular) αρκετά |
| Jason:Listen to the phrase again, this time with enough |
| Chrissi:Ναι, πεινάω αρκετά |
| Jason:It mostly stays the same. Simply replace a little. Say Yes, I'm hungry enough. |
