Ferriss's Apple

Jul 01, 2013 12:25

I'm wondering if anyone has tried learning a language using the tips from Tim Ferriss's The Four-Hour Chef. In particular, he suggests starting by "deconstructing" the grammar by getting a native speaker to translate some basic sentences, like "The apple is red," "We give him the apple," and so on. This is the table I've constructed for Greek (with a few modifications); however, I did it using Google Translate, so I'd be grateful if a Greek-speaker could check it.





The apple is red.
Το μήλο είναι κόκκινο.

It is John's apple.
Είναι μήλο Ιωάννη.

I give the apple to John .
Δίνω το μήλο στον Ιωάννη.

We give him the apple.
Έχουμε δώσει το μήλο.

He gives it to John.
Αυτός δίνει στον Ιωάννη.

She gives it to him.
Εκείνη δίνει σ 'αυτόν.

Is the apple red?
Είναι το κόκκινο μήλο;

The apples are red.
Τα μήλα είναι κόκκινα.

I must give it to him.
Θα πρέπει να το δώσει σε αυτόν.

I want to give it to her.
Θέλω να το δώσει σε αυτήν.

I will know tomorrow.
Θα ξέρω αύριο.

I'm going to do it tomorrow.
Πάω να το κάνω αύριο.

I have eaten the apple.
Έχω φάει το μήλο.

I can't eat the apple.
Δεν μπορώ να φάω το μήλο.

I know that the apple is red.
Ξέρω ότι το μήλο είναι κόκκινο.
