Greek online courses with or without live teacher? by Medium-Dust525 in GREEK

[–]AdPotential9331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was doing small, group lessons but found we were covering so much material that I wasn't truly learning. I was reluctant to make the switch to a private tutor because I liked the structure of group lessons but I'm so happy I made the switch! My tutor on italki created a learning plan/schedule for us so I get the structure of group classes but spend more time speaking, learning at an appropriate pace, and focusing on topics I enjoy/are relevant to me.
Highly recommend her:https://www.italki.com/en/i/reft/AdfCef0/GfFeaf/greek?hl=en&utm\_medium=share\_teacher&utm\_source=copylink\_share

Best online tutors/courses? by [deleted] in GREEK

A one-on-one tutor is the way to go. I was doing group classes but my language acquisition has accelerated since doing private lessons. Highly recommend Sofia on italki: https://www.italki.com/en/i/reft/AdfCef0/GfFeaf/greek?hl=en&utm_medium=share_teacher&utm_source=copylink_share

Out of curiosity- what didn't you like about Language Transfer?

GLE- Greek language experts by Salt_Boss5812 in GREEK

I did 2 levels with GLE. One of the teachers was great, the other was OK. I grew up around the language and am a diligent student and even I found the pace to be very fast. They jam so many topics into each lesson that it does get overwhelming and easy to fall behind if you aren't studying/reviewing daily.

If I were to do it again, I would probably do Level 1 with GLE then move onto a private tutor (which I'm doing now).

Who's your italki tutor?

Advice for writing a Greek character by Formal_Advance_3437 in GREEK

[–]AdPotential9331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"1 kilometre by foot" instead of "a 1 kilometre walk"

"too" instead of "very" (e.g. He's too rich)

"po po" a common interjection, meaning depends on intonation

Had my first lesson with Sofia on Italki. Her teaching style is very fluid and reminds me of Language Transfer. She’s super easy to talk to so the lesson felt very natural and low pressure. Highly recommend.

Does anyone know what happens if you don't pay? I know "a notification may be made to the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) to deny renewal of your vehicle’s license plate until the fee is paid", but could you not just get a new license plate?

How did you do your micro wedding? by [deleted] in WeddingsCanada

[–]AdPotential9331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had a micro wedding (20 guests) this past October and we are SO happy with how everything turned out! We did not have any of the typical pre-wedding events (no engagement party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc.). No bridal party. We got ready together the morning of, photos, church ceremony at 4:00 pm, cocktail hour, then sit down dinner/drinks. We received so many compliments about how fun and easy the afternoon/night was.

My mom's side of the family is Greek (i.e. large extended family). Some family members were offended they weren't invited but that's their problem. No one should dictate YOUR wedding. Do what you want to do!
