When you start learning Greek, one of the verbs you will use often is “μιλάω” (“milao”), which means “to speak or to talk”.
For example, the following sentences might be very useful to know, when you travel in Greece:
“δεν μιλάω καλά ελληνικά” = “I do not speak Greek well”.
“μιλάτε αγγλικά;” = Do you speak English?
Technology changes non-stop, for good or for bad, but we try to focus on the good 🙂
Audio and Podcasts really help to learn Greek, so we also do our share, to keep you happy!
