Greek for beginners Aπό πού είσαι;

Saying what nationality you are…and where you ‘ re from

 Στην Ελλάδα και στην Κύπρο… In Greece and Cyprus…

 

You are sure to find yourself in conversation with friendly people who will be very curious to know about you, who you are and where you ‘re from, especially if you speak a little Greek. They, in turn, will be delighted to tell you about themselves. So you will find it useful to know how to talk about yourself- and to ask others a few questions too.
