I studied classical Gr in uni for a year, and I am no better off than when I started. I taught myself to read modern Greek, then learned ancient pronunciation in class. And that is it. All grammar is now gone. My vocab still comes from the songs I listen to.<BR/><BR/>As for Icelandic, my grandmother taught me a few words, but as I don't need them...<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Mike - aye, that Ah dooo!<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Prerona - It sounds like you would have enjoyed yourself.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Minstrel - Oooooh :) ;)<BR/>Um, yes I should think so!!!<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Selba - Ah, so much of the world thinks the British have good manners, but they don't really. As with the rest of the world, it depends on how your parents brought you up. If the better classes have good training, they don't discuss what to do or not. I think the it came up because the nationalities at the table were so mixed, and I grew up here. So did the Indian girl, but she had a different background to me.<BR/><BR/>***<BR/><BR/>Jia - you are back!
