Today somebody said that: "It's all Greek to me." I giggled and told her that I can't say that anymore, because that would mean I understand it at least a little bit. A very little bit; it seems like there are new grammar rules in play that I have not encountered before. Definitely the three genders thing (English has only a few nominally-gendered words and Spanish has two genders). And something about the changing of nouns based on the verb that I haven't quite caught on to yet. I'm sure it will be explained at some point, but my brain likes rules to organize these ideas and I am not getting any spelled out for me (and it's a little uncomfortable).
I wish you were learning Greek with me. Wouldn't it be fun to go through the lessons together? You would have laughed your face off at the 'you don't understand Greek' lesson. I don't know, maybe I would have gotten on your nerves with how picky I am bout the rules once I understand them. But I think it would have been fun. I found your file on your computer with the Greek notes you had taken; you were really into it. I wish you could have finished. <3
