I checked out this "Learn Greek!" playaway from the library...it is so hard to understand anything that the Greek speakers are saying. Rule #1 when making a recording of your language intended to teach non-speakers: don't pick the first schmuck who auditions. It sounds like he's gargling marbles.
I have learned a little, though - I can say:
I understand
You understand
I don't understand
You don't understand
I understand?
You understand?
Greek
English
Miss
Sir
Excuse me
No
Yes
A little
Are you American?
So...I can say "Yes, miss. I understand a little Greek! Do you understand English?"
I just need "bathroom," "please" and "olives," and I'll be set.
