I just finished my first Greek lesson
I REALLY like Rosetta Stone. I think this is one of the cooler investments we've made in a long time. I highly recommend this software, I already know how to say a bunch of stuff. Although, I probably couldn't do it without referencing the speaking guides right now... but still! I can say Hi and Bye! And girl, and boy, and man, and woman... eating! Drinking!! Swimming!
It's all Greek to me, fvckers!
Re: I just finished my first Greek lesson
Say something Greek! I really want to try Rosetta Stone, but I'm too cheap to buy it. And I can't decide what language I'd want to learn.
One of the daycare options that we looked at on Friday feeds into the charter school in our neighborhood, so we toured the school as well. They use Rosetta Stone to teach the kids foreign languages.

I don't have any of the Greek alphabet loaded on my computer. Not only do I have to learn the sounds, the words, and grammar, but there's a whole new alphabet with crazy ass sounds. It's cool though, because the root sounds are similar to some of our words... the words looks nothing like ours though. If the kids ever use this I think it will really help them with their English vocabulary.
I think if we go for another language at some point, I would love to learn French. I tried a few audio CDs a few years ago, but they didn't really work for me. Well, that's not entirely true. I can say, "Give me the meat" in French. It has come in quite handy over the years.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Mouse, his Dad does. He's the first kid born in the US, his family is from the island of Kos. Pete and his sister went to Greek school when they were younger, but they don't really speak more than a few greetings or phrases.
Cali, I don't envy you. I think you guys will be fine. Just remember when things get heated, it's best to step back, shut up, and just let him do it his way if he refuses to listen to reason. Then when he completely fvcks it up time and time again, you can step in, do it your way - the right way, and completely hoard it over him forever. Every argument for the rest of your marriage can reference 'The Time You Were Right About The Trim' and you'll automatically win the current argument. Good luck.
