GREECE Narration

We are reading for you one story in Greek and then in English. Our aim is to present in an uninterrupted way how our language sounds, so that you get the feeling of it and not just the verbal knowledge. The story is read by our students Eleni and Aggeliki.

GREECE-School Hip Hop

Did you really believe we would seriously have second thoughts about dancing? :) We forgot to mention that we do not have second thoughts about anything. We think once and we think profoundly...and Ha! "dancer" is our middle name, had we forgotten to bring that up too? What a pity! First watch and then we arrange that competition thing. Unless somebody's feet are trembling now! (Especially dedicated to our beloved friends from Poland).

POLAND

Listen to some Polish tonguetwisters.


Ania and Kasia, 6c:
"Bursztynowy pierścionek."
Amber ring.
"Szedł sobie Sasza szosą, w czasie suszy szosa sucha."
Sasza was walking along the street, the street's dry during the drought.
"W Szczebrzeszynie chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie, a Szczebrzeszyn z tego słynie."
The beetle sings in the reed in Szczebrzeszyn city, and Szczebrzeszyn is famous for that.
"Nie słuchaj bezmyślnej sprzeczki uczenninc."
Don't listen to thoughtless quarrel of the students.
"I cóż, że ze Szwecji."
So what, that it's from Sweden.

The Greek Alphabet

We believe this is worth sharing with you. This is our alphabet. And since we know it is difficult to pronounce the letters in greek writing, we have also written their sounds in the latin alphabet, that is phonetically. Well, now learn them because we are going to examine you soon...:)

POLAND







St. Andrew’s night is celebrated in Poland since the XVI century. There is a long tradition of fortune telling on the November 30th in Poland. The most popular is pouring hot melted wax through a key into a bawl of cold water - hardened wax is held up to the light and the future is guessed from its shadow cast on the wall. The shape of the shadow is observed from different angles. The candlelight create an unusual atmosphere of this evening.
Another custom was arrange the shoes of all the girls one after another along the wall and move gradually in the same order to the door. The girl whose shoe would first cross the doorstep would be married first. One more belief was to try to remember your dream at St. Andrew’s night - if you would see a man in a dream - this might be your future husband.
Presently people do not take seriously the fortune-telling during st. Andrew Day but this day is still celebrated because it is lots of fun. Each year at our school students have a dicsco party at St Andrew’s Day.
