Hello! My name is Anna. I’m from England, but I live in Athens. I’m learning Greek. It isn’t easy, but I like it a lot. I have a friend here. Her name is Maria. Maria is from Crete. She speaks English, but together we speak Greek. When I don’t understand, I say: “More slowly, please!” And Maria laughs.
