“He who knows no foreign languages knows nothing of his own.” - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Μπράβο σου!

I strongly recommend every language lover to learn Greek. I'm Russian and our language is somewhat grammatically closer to Greek and has more (even more!) Greek loanwords, than an average western-european language, so it's easier for us, but what is absolutely unique about Greek (including modern Greek of course) is that it gives you a deep insight into the meaning of countless scientific terms, cultural and even everyday vocabulary of your own language. Basically it's only after I began studying Greek I started to really understand my own native tongue and major European languages. I would say that you basically can't really understand any high browed text be it politics, science, arts etc. without at least basic knowledge of Greek. And yes - modern Greek is enough as they have preserved all their vocabulary from ancient times.

Ευχαριστούμε που μας ανέφερες Luca και χαιρόμαστε που σε έχουμε βοηθήσει στο ταξίδι σου στα ελληνικά. Μιλάς πολύ καλά! Θα ήταν ωραία να κανονίζαμε ένα επεισόδιο μαζί!

His Greek is good with a slight accent but very understandable. Much better pronunciation than most foreigners.

It's funny hearing you talk about Greeks being loud, talkative and in a good mood because that's the stereotype we have of Italians in the UK

Omgggg your Greek is so good!!!! Thank you for saying so many good things about my country 🇬🇷

I remember listening to this video to get inspired to learn Greek last year, one year later I no longer need subtitles ! 😁

Unbelievable! Luca is hands down the best Italian polyglot 😎💪

I rewatched this video after having started to learn Greek. I watched this video back then when I wasn't planing to learn Greek but I fell in love with the Greek mentality and their language.

Μπράβο σου! Είναι πολύ εντυπωσιακό πώς μιλάς τα ελληνικά. Χρησιμοποιείς απαιτητικές φράσεις και με τόσο υψηλό βαθμό δυσκολίας τα μιλάς σχεδόν τέλεια - με ελάχιστα λάθη. Είναι αλήθεια ότι τα ελληνικά είναι δύσκολα, για αυτό σού αξίζει ένα μεγάλο μπράβο. Με συγκινεί να βλέπω έναν ξένο να μαθαίνει τόσο καλά την μητρική μου γλώσσα. Μού αρέσει πολύ η περιγραφή σου: η ελληνική γλώσσα ακούγεται σαν την ισπανική (ισχύει!) και έχει ιταλική καρδιά. Εμείς οι Έλληνες νιώθουμε πολύ κοντά με τους Ιταλούς και τους Ισπανούς - είναι το μεσογειακό ταμπεραμέντο! Μάλιστα για τους Έλληνες και τους Ιταλούς χρησιμοποιούμε την φράση "una faccia, una razza". Στο ελληνικό λεξιλόγιο βοηθάει πολύ η ετυμολογία. "Βιβλίο" (libro) - από την λέξη αυτή βγαίνουν οι λέξεις " bibliografia", "biblioteca". "Άνθρωπος" (essere umano) - από αυτήν την λέξη προέρχονται οι λέξεις "antropologia", " filantropia", "misantropo". "Πνεύμονας" (polmone) - από αυτήν την λέξη προέρχονται οι λέξεις "pneumologo", "pneumonia". "Γυναίκα" (donna) - από αυτήν την λέξη προέρχονται οι λέξεις "ginecologia", "misogino" ("μισώ" = odiare). "Ευχαριστώ" (grazie, letteralmente: "Io ringrazio") - από αυτήν την λέξη προέρχεται η λέξη Eucaristia (=ringraziamento, in greco - vuol dire: ringraziamento a Dio). Η λίστα με τις λέξεις συνεχίζεται! Ας σταματήσω εδώ. 🙂Δεν θα πω ότι όλες οι λέξεις προέρχονται από τα ελληνικά, αλλά θα πω ότι ΠΟΛΛΕΣ προέρχονται! Είμαι λίγο σαν τον πατέρα της πρωταγωνίστριας στην ταινία "Γάμος α λα ελληνικά" (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). 😀 Είμαι Ελληνίδα και λατρεύω τις ξένες γλώσσες. Σού εύχομαι επιτυχία και ευτυχία στην ζωή σου!

OMG. If my French (I'm learning French) is as good as your Greek, I'd be very happy. Your Greek is fab!

Μου φαίνεται πολύ περίεργο που σε ακούω να μιλάς τα ελληνικά τόσο καλά!! 4 μήνες πριν έπεσα για πρώτη φορά στοο κανάλι σου. Ξεκίνησα να ακολουθώ τις συμβουλές για να βελτιώσω τα ιταλικά μου επειδή πλέον εργάζομαι στην Βερόνα και σήμερα σε ακούω να μιλάς ελληνικά... Complimenti! I tuoi consigli mi hanno aiutato tantissimo!! Grazie brav'uomo.

i have to agree on the "sounds like spanish" bit, in the beginning i thought you were doing an introduction in spanish lol

I’m so happy that you’ve finally posted a video in Greek; it’s my favorite language, and it was really nice to hear you speak it! You’re doing really well with it on the whole, but there are a few sounds that you mispronounce fairly consistently. You often pronounce the letters and as [d] and [b] instead of as [ð] and [v], but you don’t do this all the time, so I’m guessing that you’re aware of how they’re supposed to be pronounced but that it’s just a little hard for you to remember while you’re speaking. Also, I suspect that whatever resource you used to learn Greek pronunciation taught you that the letter [γ] is pronounced like the English letter [y] in words like and , but this isn’t exactly right. The sound is actually a voiced palatal fricative, while the English letter represents a palatal glide. These are very similar sounds, but there is a noticeable difference between them. To put it simply, the tongue needs to be held a little closer to the hard palate to produce a voiced palatal fricative than it does to produce a palatal glide. If you do it right, you should feel the air between your tongue and the roof of your mouth buzz, which is something that shouldn’t happen when pronounce the letter in English. Despite these few pronunciation issues, you’re doing really well; you made very few grammatical errors! I hope to hear more Greek from you in the future - Καλή συνέχεια!

I started learning Greek 5 months ago and I can understand you now !

Outstanding, as always! Συγχαρητήρια!

For those who complain about English subtitles (their absence) - just turn on the Auto-translate of the Greek subtitles into English.

Luca! This new series of videos that you've just started, speaking about the languages you've learned (in those languages) is really good and it encourages me to keep on learning languages. It would be great if you do more of this videos, even though I don't speak as many languages as you do, I really enjoy them. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

Συμφωνώ, όλα είπες Συμφωνώ. Με πολλούς χαιρετισμούς από την Αυστρία. Κανέλα

Wow, I couldn't keep on learning Greek 18 years ago because there were not enough resources and I understood some of the words you use on your video. Thank you, Luca. 🤩🤩🤩

Bravisimo Luca. Sinharitiria, complimenti...

Greek sounds quite cool, these kind of videos keep me pushing myself to learn languages or improving on my target language. Thanks a lot Luca your content is plenty good.

grazie milla, molto favorevole da imparare il suo metodo.

μιλας πολυ καλα με δυσκολες λεξεις καλη προφορα ειναι μια χωρα κοντα στην ιταλια και μπραβο σου που εμαθες την γλωσσα μας

I feel like you just started learning Greek... amazing job man! Keep at it 💪🏼

I dont know but you sir inspired me continue my learning/speaking other languages. I just started because im just bored this quarantine and it turns out that i want to increase my level. When im watching your videos it gives me an motivation to continue further. Muchas gracias por eso!

Great video Luca👍🏼 please make more videos in greek or how you study it! I was waiting a long time for this. Μπράβο έκανες!

Τα ελληνικά σου είναι πραγματικά πολύ καλά φίλε... Συγχαρητήρια... Ουνα φάτσα Ουνα ράτσα είμαστε 😜

Finally, a video of yours where I can just relax, sit back and listen! XD Btw Astronio is the best! He characteristically speaks very clearly so it was a smart choise to listen to him. Glad you like his content.

Awesome! I have been watching your Italian dialect and other videos for a few years. So happy you are learning Greek now man! Και τα μιλάς πολύ καλά, μπράβω σου! 🙂

Dude i just love you even more now ❤️

You're incredible! Well done!

Μπράβο Luca!

This was very interesting. I was in Crete in 2018 and heard Greek for the first time there. But it's actually the Greek music that caught me the most, until a friend of mine (she's half Greek), taught me sentence and when I spoke it for the first time, it felt like home to me. Since that moment, I wish to learn Greek and try to find clues on how to achieve that goal. I'll check you the things you mentioned in your video. :) Thanks for uploading this!

bravooo!!! spero di raggiungere presto questo livello 🤩

Hai fatto bene Luca! Bravo

very nice Luca ! impressive !

Σ’ευχαριστώ Λούκα γι’αυτό το εντυπωσιακό σου βίντεο! Μαθαίνω ελληνικά κι εγώ με την μέθοδο Assimil και με ενθαρρύνεις να τα συνεχίζω - και κυρίως να τα μιλάω! Μπράβο!

Tu sei un genio assoluto!!! Complimenti !🔝🔝😊👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for the video. Greek is a beautiful and interesting language. It sounds amazing. I think I'm going to start learning it

it's a beautiful language. perhaps because it reminds me of my holidays in Greece during my childhood... but also because the writing looks old and it sounds old, reminds of the ancient Greece, antiquity

ευχαριστω πολυ για αυτο το βιντεο 🥰 με βοηθα να μαθω τη γλοσσα !

It took me a while to realize I don't understand Greek and put the English subtitles

Mamma mia quanto bene parli il greco! il miglior greco di un straniero che io abbia mai sentito! Complimenti, e saluti da Cipro 🇨🇾👌

Bravo Luca ! Milas polu kala ! Bravo !

thank you so much for the informaton

Καταπληκτικά!! Μπράβο 😃😃

Excellent Luca! I have Greek heritage but don’t have an incredibly good active grasp of it. I speak English, Italian and am reasonably proficient in a German, and Greek is the next language I’d love to tackle. Despite not having an excellent command of the language, I have had a large amount of exposure, - particularly as a child - and one thing I would suggest is that Greeks have strong tendency to palatalise consonants. It was very obvious in your pronunciation of και that you weren’t doing this. Seriously though, this is obviously incredibly minor, so well done!

Your vocabulary is outstanding

Συγχαρητήρια!!!

Brutal!!!! Awesome!!!!! I realized that Greek is not difficult to pronounce. I hadn't listened someone speaking that language and it sounds easy to pronounce. Oh well, the only word I know is "ευχαριστώ" which is "thanks". Luca speaks excellent!!

Great project i really enjoyed it,and i know that your next project will also be great

Ciao Luca! Io sono polacca, di Varsavia e sogno di diventare poliglotta come te. Per il momento parlo 6 lingue e ne studio altre 6 o 7, le lingue sono la mia passione e i tuoi video mi aiutano e mi motivano tanto. Adesso la mia priorità è il greco e questo video mi è strapiaciuto! Grazie ancora! Tanti saluti dalla Polonia e soprattutto rimani in salute! ☺️

Πριν 1 χρόνο ξεκίνησα να μαθαίνω ιταλικά. Νομίζω ότι τα ελληνικά είναι μια σχετικά δύσκολη γλώσσα, και παρόλα αυτά τα μιλάς καταπληκτικά! Συγχαρητήρια για την προσπάθειά σου, ελπίζω να κάνεις και άλλα βίντεο όπου μιλάς στα ελληνικά. :)

My gosh, vc é um cara pra caramba, gostaria speak the way yo do all those languages

Bravo Luka, milas poli orea. Kaneis polo kala oti pianei to heri su.

Inspiring video Luca as I am learning Greek.

Kalo brady luca Ti amo i love you Te amo gracias por la sencillez que tienes. From México 🇲🇽 Raul. תודה רבה שלום

Συγχαρητήρια! Συνέχισε έτσι!

Μπράβο Luca, μιλάς πολύ καλά ελληνικά. Είναι μια δύσκολη γλώσσα και εσύ την "κατέκτησες" σε λίγο χρόνο. Εύγε!

Wow, μπράβο Luca! Πολύ καλός είσαι!

Σε κατάλαβα! Είμαι εμπνευσμένη και χαρούμενη, ευχαριστώ!

Συγχαρητήρια ! Sei verramente bravo, ho trovato il tuo canale via "italiano automatico". Tu parli greco benissimo ! ✌️

Eres un fenómeno de la naturaleza 🤗

Κάτι που δεν είδα να αναφέρει κάποιος στα σχόλια είναι ότι πολλές φορές λες "είΝαι" αντί για "είΜαι". Αλλά κατά τ'άλλα μπράβο! Δεν έχω δει κανέναν άλλο στο youtube να μιλάει ελληνικά τόσο καλά!

Μπράβο σου!

Impressive! Μπράβο σου. Μικρά λαθάκια, αλλά πολύ καλό επίπεδο, λεξιλόγιο, κλπ. Και ιδιαίτερα για το χρόνο που ασχολείσαι! Ό,τι χρειαστείς χαρά μας να βοηθήσουμε (Η γυναίκα μου κι εγώ).

Είσαι τέλειος. Μιλάς καλύτερα ελληνικά από εμένα. Εγώ μιλάω, αγγλικά και φέτος έμαθα κ ισπανικά και τώρα θέλω να ξεκινήσω ιταλικά. Με έχεις εμπνεύσει πολύ. Ευχαριστώ πολύ!

Μπράβο φίλε! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi , Luca, Για σου, I'm gonna try to learn greek in 1 month, i think that this language is really intersting , because have history, culture, etc. Πάμε 💪💪💪🇬🇷

You’re very impressive. Greek is so hard. I noticed that many times you started a sentence with the sound E, as you were using the Spanish conjunction Y.

Μπράβο σου! Μιλάς πολύ ωραία τα ελληνικά! :)

Τέλια φίλο μου ..my Greek is basic and I have been looking through KZfaq for a video just like yours..

So cool. I’ve literally just started learning Greek and understood nothing except the words: Ellenika and simpatiki. I will come back to this video every month to see how much I understand. 😊

I don't understand people who dislike these types of videos

Ουαου! Φανταστικο! Gives me more motivation to improve my greek. Too bad the greek assimil book is not very easy to find.

Luca mitico, altri video in greco please, amo la lingua e vorrei impararla meglio anche io. Anche video in polacco please!

Muito bonita a língua grega!

Impressive!!

You need to update your website Bio page, Luca. I’m pretty sure you’ve added a few languages since you wrote it. Ha ha ha. Thanks for the inspiration and tips.

Μιλάς πολύ καλά την γλώσσα και η προφορά σου θυμίζει νησιώτη! Έκανα εγγραφη στο κανάλι σου γιατι προσπαθώ να μάθω ιταλικά και οι συμβουλές σου με βοηθούν πολύ!

Wow you speak very well, well done! Something i noticed is that you didn't use articles before names. In greek we use articles before names, unlike other languages. Keep going!!

Luca tem uma namorafa grega por isso ele aprendeu grego. Well done!

Σε ευχαριστω πολυ οχι τοσο γιατι ειμαι Ελληνας αλλα κυριως γιατι θα μοιραστω το βιντεο αυτο για να βοηθησω δικους μου ανθρωπους να μαθουν Ελληνικα.επισης καθοδηγεις και εμενα να μαθω αλλες γλωσες που με ενδιαφερουν οπως τα Ιταλικα για παραδειγμα.Να εισαι καλα.

Εισαι υπέροχος! Μιλας εκπληκτικά…Πολλα μπραβό!!

Luca non ho parole. Ti seguo da qualche anno e aspettavo con trepidazione questo video, perché parlo il greco fin da piccolo (mio padre è greco). Non sai quanto mi ispiri, veramente questo video è la testimonianza di uno che prende e fa e arriva ad un livello altissimo. Lo parli quasi perfettamente, fa paura! Ho notato solo una cosa. Attenzione alla pronuncia di χ! Come il tedesco ch, corrisponde a due fonemi diversi (cfr. machen/manche). Quando hai χε χι è dolce (tipo manche), quando hai χο χα (o χου, ma credo sia molto raro) è duro (tipo machen). Non smettere mai di fare video!

Luca veramente sei bravissimo!! Χίλια μπράβο για τον τρόπο που χειρίζεσαι την ελληνική γλώσσα. Λάτρεψα τον τρόπο με τον οποίο περιγράφεις τα ελληνικά και λέω να σου πω πως βλέπω εγώ προσωπικά τη δική σου γλώσσα, μιας και μαθαίνω ιταλικά αυτό τον καιρό! Prima di tutto amo l'Italia, la cultura italiana, la gente e ovviamente la lingua. Quando parlo la lingua italiana sono tanto felice, contentissima! :) Per me, l'italiano è come la musica, come una canzone, è un emozione che batte nel cuore! :) Τα φιλιά και την αγάπη μας από την όμορφη και ηλιόλουστη Αθήνα! :)

Hi Luca, As-salam Alaykum. I'm from Uzbekistan 🇺🇿. I respect you honestly. Please come to Uzbekistan. If you come here, I swear you'll fall in love with Uzbekistan. And I will welcome you!!!

Μπράβο φίλε 👍

Any other Greek podcast/video channel recommendations? I can't yet understand the astronomy podcast you recommended (although I am looking forward to when I can because those are the kind of videos I watch very often). I'm subscribing to Easy Greek, but those podcasts are a bit long for me yet (based on your other video recommendation of watching a video of 5 minutes over and over). I do like them and enjoy learning about day-to-day culture, but I'd like to learn more about modern Greek history and about what Greeks have to say about other things I'm interested in (Scouts, music, fiction writing, swimming, astronomy and archaeology). Thanks. BTW I found you very understandable. I think it may be because you speak clearly while the Greek in-laws I have (aunts, uncles, cousins etc.) all seem to speak much more quietly and less clearly.

i'm a half romanian half hungarian transylvanian so i am fluent in romanian and can understand and read some hungarian, i'm also fluent in english and italian since i've been living in northen italy for the past 7 years, i just finished my exams and got out of school and i'm planing on learning a couple other languages and i'd like to start with greek since my biggest passion is history and greece has plenty of it.

Τέλειος.

Mais videos em grego! Por favor, eu amei!

Αγαπητέ φίλε Λούκα: Αρχικά θέλω να σε συγχαρώ που σε τόσο σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα κατάφερες να μπεις στο πνεύμα των ελληνικών και να τα μιλάς. Να σε ευχαριστήσω σαν Έλληνας που διαφημίζεις την κουλτούρα και τη γλώσσα μας, προτρέποντας και άλλους να μάθουν τα νέα ελληνικά. Επίτρεψε μου να κάνω κάποιες μικρές παρατηρήσεις για κάποια λίγα λαθάκια που έκανες στο βίντεο, για να τα εντοπίσεις και να τα διορθώσεις. Έτσι την επόμενη φορά θα είσαι πολύ πιο βελτιωμένος. ΗΜΟΥΝ ΣΤΗΝ ΕΛΛΑΔΑ ΠΡΙΝ 20 ΧΡΟΝΙΑ (Σωστό αλλά το πιο δόκιμο είναι να πεις ΕΠΙΣΚΕΦΤΗΚΑ την Ελλάδα ΕΙΝΑΙ ΚΑΙ ΗΤΑΝ- Είναι καλύτερο να πεις ΗΤΑΝ ΚΑΙ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΜΙΛΟΥΝ ΜΕ ΤΑ ΧΕΡΙΑ- Εδώ χρησιμοποιούμε τη λέξη ΧΕΙΡΟΝΟΜΩ. Οι Έλληνες αρέσκονται να χειρονομούν και να φωνάζουν (ΑΝΤΙ ΓΙΑ ΤΟ ΜΙΛΟΥΝ ΔΥΝΑΤΑ). ΘΑ ΜΑΘΑΙΝΩ- Ή θα πεις ΘΑ ΜΑΘΩ ή ΑΡΧΙΣΑ ΝΑ ΜΑΘΑΙΝΩ. ΕΠΕΛΕΓΕ (Είναι πιο γενικό) αλλά στην προστακτική είναι ΕΠΙΛΕΞΕ. Το γράμμα Δ προφέρεται με περισσότερη ελαφρότητα όπως και στα ισπανικά σε κάποιες λέξεις και όχι σαν ΝΤΕ. Βέβαια δεν πρέπει να σε ανησυχεί αυτό γιατί οι περισσότεροι ξένοι δεν μπορούν να το προφέρουν σαν ελαφρύ Δ. Τουλάχιστον στην αρχή. Η ΓΛΩΣΣΑ είναι θηλυκό, οπότε δεν είναι ΟΠΟΙΟΥΔΗΠΟΤΕ αλλά ΟΠΟΙΑΣΔΗΠΟΤΕ γλώσσας. ΑΜΕΡΙΚΑΝΙΚΟ και όχι ΑΜΕΡΙΚΑΝΟ Και τέλος: ΉΤΑΝ ΔΥΣΚΟΛΟ ΝΑ ΚΑΤΑΛΑΒΩ και όχι ΉΤΑΝ ΔΥΣΚΟΛΟ ΝΑ ΚΑΤΑΛΑΒΑΙΝΩ. Αυτά τα λίγα για τώρα. Σκοπός του μηνύματος μου είναι να σε βοηθήσω στο να γίνεις ακόμη καλύτερος και όχι να σε κριτικάρω αρνητικά (εννοείται αυτό). Είσαι εξαιρετικός σε αυτό που κάνεις, συνέχισε έτσι. Ο ΦΙΛΟΣ ΣΟΥ ΣΩΚΡΑΤΗΣ

Μιλάς πολύ καλά ελληνικά!

Hello, Luca! Can you do the same video to learn german?

I'm jealous. It seems so easy when I watch videos like these... It took me 40 years to be able to write a comment in bad english, and several years to read a book in spanish. But I've never been able to utter a single word in both languages. A few years ago, I decided to learn ancient greek, and one of the reasons was that nobody would never ask me to "speak" it. I fell in love with this beautiful grammar. My wife is greek and I spend my time between France and Greece, I hear greek words and sentences on a daily basis. I noticed that I was able to understand most of the simple comments written in greek, which I found quite disturbing since I'm still unable to say a simple sentence in greek and probably never will.

Μπράβο Λουκά, μιλάς παρά πολύ καλά!! Καλύτερα από μένα;)
