Here are my best examples. One. There are many ways to say something correctly in Greek, especially when it comes to spoken language.

The way Duo is saying it in this sentence, is not the only correct way. In this instance της is not needed. Then we have this

. Unless you're marrying into a Greek family or something I don't think you'll need this, like ever

Thank you Duo

Final thoughts for today: I don't think it's as bad in Greek as it is in Japanese. My main problem is that it is way too specific, and you'll most likely not be able to have a full conversation with another speaker. Oh and for the love of everything that is good, please, please PLEASE don't use αντίο for goodbye. It is way too deep, and final. You say that to someone you probably won't see again. Use γειά. It's the same for hi and goodbye. Γειά σας is more polite, γειά is for friends and family

σας sounds really similar to sauce. But the phonetically aaa part is less dragged out. So sas

Dziękuję!

Aquí está mi perro; ella está aún enferma. Ella no puede caminar muy bien, pero puede comer un poco.

I also got myself a new translation app so I could figure out what y’all are saying !

This year I went to an international church youth camp, and it was actually awesome!
It was in Germany, which is where I live because the US Army posted my family there. It was led by an American group from Oklahoma and Kansas, and there was a large French group, a large Ukrainian group, and a smaller Italian group! There were surprisingly few German speakers, but I shared a room with two of them.
Being among all of those people sparked something in me. The only reason I started learning German was because we were moving to Germany, but now I know so much more than I ever thought I would!
Einbahnstraße? Verspätung? Deutsche Bahnhof? Auf Wiedersehen?
I would’ve never had know what those words meant had we never moved to Germany!

Hopefully this thread can grow, and people can learn from each other! I’d certainly like to hear from other German-speakers!

If you’re showing up early, post a ‘hello’ or introductory sentence in a language you can speak or are learning to speak!
If you’re showing up later, reply to someone’s post and chat in a different language! We can use this thread to help each other grow in out abilities!

(Achtung: There might be some Duolingo conspiracy as well for fun. )

I have at least begun learning 12 languages throughout my life. Right now, I am concentrating on passing the HSK4 test (Mandarin Chinese), and becoming conversational in Russian.

Swedish
Norwegian
Spanish
Chinese
Russian
Arabic
German
Korean
Japanese
Italian
French
Polish

That's like sayonara in Japanese. That means "goodbye, I probably won't see you for a long time." Sayo-nara means "goodbye, I'll probably never see you again." The correct thing to say would be "jya".
