Hi all, I have been trying to learn Greek for a while now and I know enough to get by (ask directions, order a meal that kind of thing) but I want to learn more. I came up with the idea of surfing the web for children's nursery rhymes and songs with English sub titles but I haven't had much success.

Is there anyone out there who could perhaps post me some links to things like this if they exist? I think that learning like a child would be much easier. Thank you.

Gina, what a voluptuous name you have."Yo .. G I N A A"...how does one say voluptuous in Greek?? A good word to start out with

Bashoboutta?

Bashoboutta to voluptuous, is like Shmeterlink (in German, although my spelling is probably wrong) is to butterfly.

Are you sure?

Well there’s another 3 worded expression if you prefer… (note the emphasis)

Boutte, Gole, Vize.

Sure, tell your wife... "Eisai mia bashoboutta" and see for yourself.

Just noticed the usual hypocritical characters now on this page advising about greek lessons. I asked on another page about turkish instruments in north cyprus . A perfectly genuine and relative to the site being that there are cypriots of turkish ethnic background and being that I enjoy playing instruments I posed a very simple inquiry if anyone knew of any turkish instrument makers and I don't think I would find one in the south unless I wanted a bouzuki . The responses I got was that I should be in a turkish forum . We'll here is evidently a person asking learning greek in a cyprus forum . Why has the same people that advised me to go turkish not advised this person to go greek ? I don't expect a mature response to this

The following may be of interest - a Greek song with English subtitles:

This just happens to be the most beautiful Greek song that I, in my subjective opinion, have ever heard, and I am grateful to a former (mainland) Turkish contributor to this forum to making its existence known to me. This just goes to show that in this world of ours there do exist people broad-minded and mature enough to appreciate the best of other cultures.

Erm... nothing like what you ask for Gina, but try one of the simple BBC courses like the ones at ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/greek/talk/
