I just visited your site and being Greek, I thought I'd take a peek at the greek courses. I'm still laughing at what I just read:
"Greek is the official language of the present day kingdom of Greece." Greece has officially destituted the last king in 1974 and is a Republic ever since, that is 32 years and counting..."There are two broad types of language used in modern Greece: the popular, or dhimotiki, and the formal, or katharevusa." The 'katharevoussa" has been abolished officially in the late 70's, more that 25 years ago!Ok, I just saw the textbooks (dated 1967) so I understand the above, but still I think you should correct the introduction at least... Thank you for the good laugh and for the free language courses! |

No problem. It was a cut from the text as a flavor of FSI, but I will remove it.
