Nearly our last Greek lesson before Christmas. Niko's the teacher we always wanted. He started us this May with four helpful books.
- Κλεάνθης Αρβανιτάκης Φρόσω Αρβανιτάκη, Επικοινωνήστε ελληνικά 1(Arvanitakis, K & F Communicate in Greek - Epikoiniste Ellinika 1, Book 1 and the exercise book that goes with it.
- Greek: An Essential Grammar of the Modern Language
- Oxford Learner's Pocket Dictionary
Niko has lesson plans, gives us homework, chats in Greek, records things on my laptop so we can practice pronunciation, helps with writing Greek and is invariably supportive and funny. But our progress seems so slow - or is it? When my mother stayed with us in Corfu in October she had the impression I was speaking quite a lot. Lin says things like :I'm never going to learn". but she was helping me with homework yesterday and translating paragraphs of Greek from a paperback novel. Our lessons are an hour and a half but Niko never finishes by the clock so we often have longer than agreed time. Yesterday as well as going through our homework, which was all about getting the right pronoun for different sentences and remembering the declension of four verbs - μένω - to live, έχω - to have, δουλεύω - to work, and είμαι - to be. Then we did some grammar and punctuation - accents, other diacritics, using capitals and lower case, and the transcription of foreign names. The Greek question mark is a semi-colon. Where English use speech marks "" , Greek uses . Greek divides large numbers with full stops, thus 1.456.777 instead of the English 1,456,777. Where English would use a semi-colon (;), Greek uses a colon or raised point (:).
A sentence to test pronunciation and grammar: "Your donkey's milk is good."

Swimming lessons for the under-fives at an ungodly hour on a Saturday morning. These children do not stay still, but there is something about the identical swimming hats and armbands that makes me want to attempt the impossible and capture the scene. (Also, photographs are not allowed, so drawing is the only option).
It's another Saturday (instead of Friday) photo. I knew this was the one I wanted to take this week.
The day has arrived for my oldest daughter's very first in car driving lesson. I took it as a good sign that the instructor did not try to make her back out of our driveway as her first experience. I have trouble backing out of that driveway and I've been driving for many, many years!
A few low opacity effects were added to this using Picnik including: HDR, Lomo & Cross Process
Had a great experience yesterday. Exposure Detroit hosted a Natural Light oudoor portrait Educational Seminar. Tim White, Deana Barrett, and Ann Gordon were kind enough to take time to share their knowledge of portrait photography. I had the pleasure of following Ann around. I definitely learned a a lot and am very grateful to her for so graciously sharing her information, and I enjoyed her patient and energetic teaching style.
