I have been learning several new words in Greek. Below are a few of the words that I have learned from reading books on modern Greek history of the early 20th century. The goals I had set in the beginning of the semester were too ambitious so I refocused my efforts on reading clarity, speech, and slightly improving my pool of advanced vocabulary, while deciding to ignore writing so I am not overwhelmed with work. The books I have been reading as well as the articles and online news streams have been helpful in building my vocabulary pool so I can understand complex conversations about historical and current political issues. I am starting to be able to engage in intelligent conversations with my language partner about politics in Greek which is a very satisfying feeling.
επιρροή-influence
αναζωπύρωση-resurgence
