International Mother Language Day

Happy International Mother Language Day!

A very important day for the awareness on mother languages and their cultural significance. Among other things this day promotes linguistic diversity and international understanding through multilingualism and multiculturalism. Let's take a moment to celebrate and appreciate our common heritage. To all the Mother tongues of the world!

Here is a children's song (originally a poem in "Gaitanaki" (Maypole) - a book by the children's author Zorz Sarri) that celebrates the spirit of multiculturalism. You may find the full song here.

 

Flashcards - My first phrases

A new set of flashcards for this week. Useful phrases to get your child to start using everyday phrases in Greek. You can practice them together when meeting new people or even during playtime when you and your little one enjoy a trip to the pretend grocery store or a pot of pretend tea!

Grammar Sprinkles - The verb to be

Grammar Sprinkles are back!

Today's topic is the verb to be (είμαι).

The verb είμαι is the Greek equivalent to the English verb to be:

• I am
• you are
• he/she/it is 
• we are
• you are
• they are

Today's handout includes the verb είμαι in all persons followed by a few examples of its usage in a sentence. You will also find two exercises. In the first one you have to match the personal pronoun with the right form of the verb while in the second one you have to use the correct cubes in the correct order to form a sentence containing the verb είμαι.

Grammar lessons made fun!

Nursery Rhyme: The cute butterfly

A lovely nursery rhyme. Children love to sing along and flap their arms like the butterfly. The butterfly flies playfully around, visits the flowers, sleeps in winter and comes back in the summer.

You can accompany this lovely nursery rhyme with a butterfly colouring page!
