I’ve never really wanted to learn another language. I memorized a French poem in fifth grade, and—embarrassingly—I failed Spanish in high school (lol… eek!). That pretty much sums up the extent of my bilingual abilities.
Meeting Alex changed all of that.
He’s Greek, and being with him has made me want to learn more—about the language, the culture, and everything in between. Our little “lessons” have turned into something fun, adventurous, romantic, and, oddly enough, deeply intimate for both of us.
Most of my Greek notes live on a notecard in SL, but since we talk outside of SL too, I needed a cheat sheet here as well. This is really more for me than anyone else, but I figured I’d share it with anyone who might also want to learn. ♥
