Γειά σας everyone! --- OK that's about all I know in Greek right now
I've studied a nice Internet radio course from Cyprus a couple of years ago, but forgot everything so now I'm going over it again. Now I have UniLang so I hope I can make my knowledge stay!
Yeah, Greek orthography is a problemtic issue. But this is true for most languages. In Modern Hebrew many letters also are pronounced the same (we've lost the original accent
) so Israeli kids struggle with the writing as well, not only learners... English writing
and reading is a mess, I needn't tell you that. Russian orthography is basically OK - if you remember which consonants are palatalized and which aren't, which I constantly forget of course
And let's not even speak of Chinese... At least in Greek reading is very simple. They even give you the location of the accent! What more could one ask for?
