| By
the time of my first
tour with UNFICYP
in Cyprus in 1980 I became interested in the Hellenic culture. Slowly I started to learn
Greek and now, after spending a total
of 2 years in Cyprus, a lot of island hopping (you know
where) and some courses at the Hellenic
Cultural Center
I know a lot more
of the Greek language. This previous link is still working but the
page is not longer updated and contains old information
and a lot of nice pictures.
Their new
page is to be found here,
One of my ways to learn it is to read, repeat and
repeat again often by writing. Of course you need to listen
and talk as well. For repeating, what is more useful than the
computer. Hand writing is boring and you will soon be tired.
For
that reason words was gradually entered into a database ,and
the Lexoulla project
was born. Naturally all Greek words, translated to English
and Swedish are in their basic forms but
verbs, adjectives and nouns are also found in their different
declined versions according to tense, gender and case etc. The
database contains about 3500 3760 Greek words and grows a bit
every autumn and winter.
