I think languages are easier for kids. And Greeks use those funny letters alpha, beta... phe, phi, phoe, phum..
Kolo, did you take classes or Berlitz or use tapes?
Oh, we are just playing with you. :)
Kolo is a Greek-American. He learned it at home and in Sunday schools...alpha, beta,...xenoi, sporoi, turkophago, ouzo, oupa...you know, the usual. :)
You know how it is, haven't you seen "My Fat Greek Wedding?"
"Kolo, did you take classes or Berlitz or use tapes?"
A mother who spoke Greek to me from the day I was born, a yiayia with a wooden spoon, "Greek School" at church 3 days a week after "American School" and spending probably way too much time in a village where virtually no one spoke English! :)
