About this episode

In today's episode you will learn about our Greek Language retreat in Nafpaktos, Greece. Emily and Danae will first engage in a conversation talking about their summer plans and then will give you some more information about this retreat and how to attend.


E: Δανάη! Το καλοκαίρι πλησιάζει και δεν έχουμε κανονίσει τίποτα ακόμα! Εσύ τι θα κάνεις φέτος το καλοκαίρι; / Danae! Summer is approaching, and we haven’t planned anything yet! What are you doing this summer?

D: Εγώ θα πάω στην Ελλάδα. Έχω κλείσει να πάω στη Ναύπακτο σε μία επταήμερη εκδρομή για την Ελληνική γλώσσα. / I’m going to Greece. I’ve booked a seven-day trip to Nafpaktos for a Greek language program.

E: Αυτό ακούγεται τέλειο! Η Ναύπακτος όμως πού είναι; / That sounds amazing! But where is Nafpaktos?

D: Η Ναύπακτος είναι μία παραθαλάσσια πόλη μόλις 2,5 ώρες από την Αθήνα. Είναι ένα πολύ όμορφο και ιστορικό μέρος. / Nafpaktos is a seaside town just 2.5 hours from Athens. It’s a very beautiful and historic place.

E: Πωπω! Δίπλα στη θάλασσα! Και τι θα κάνεις εκεί; / Wow! Right by the sea! And what will you do there?

D: Πάρα πολλά πράγματα! Αρχικά, θα εξασκήσω τα ελληνικά μου ακόμα περισσότερο γιατί θα κάνουμε συνολικά 15 ώρες μαθήματα ελληνικών! Επιπλέον, θα κάνουμε και σεμινάρια ιστορίας, πολιτισμού, γαστρονομίας και μυθολογίας! / So many things! First of all, I’ll improve my Greek even more because we’ll have a total of 15 hours of Greek lessons! Additionally, we’ll have seminars on history, culture, gastronomy, and mythology!

E: Τέλειο! Εγώ όμως που δεν είμαι σε πολύ προχωρημένο επίπεδο στα ελληνικά, θα μπορώ να παρακολουθήσω τα μαθήματα; / Awesome! But since I’m not at a very advanced level in Greek, will I be able to follow the lessons?

D: Εννοείται! Υπάρχουν μαθήματα για όλα τα επίπεδα. / Of course! There are classes for all levels. 

E: Τέλεια! Θα κάνετε κι άλλες δραστηριότητες εκτός από τα μαθήματα και τα σεμινάρια; / Great! Will you be doing other activities besides the lessons and seminars?

D: Θα πηγαίνουμε για μπάνιο στη θάλασσα, και εκδρομές σε άλλα κοντινά μέρη, όπως η Λευκάδα! / We’ll go swimming in the sea and take trips to other nearby places, like Lefkada!

E: Εντάξει! Τώρα θέλω κι εγώ να έρθω. Προλαβαίνω να κλείσω; / Okay! Now I want to come too. Do I still have time to book?

D: Εννοείται πως προλαβαίνεις! Η εκδρομή θα γίνει τον Ιούλιο και τον Αύγουστο. / Of course, you do! The trip is happening in July and August.

E: Ο Αύγουστος με βολεύει, εσύ πότε θα πας; / August works best for me. When are you going?

D: Κι εγώ για Αύγουστο έκλεισα! / I’ve booked for August too!

E: Τι ωραία! Θα είμαστε μαζί! Να σε ρωτήσω και κάτι ακόμα. Εσύ το παιδί σου πού θα το αφήσεις; / That’s great! We’ll be together! One more thing—where will you leave your child?

D: Θα την πάρω μαζί μου φυσικά! Θα έρθει και ο άντρας μου μαζί. / I’ll bring her with me, of course! My husband is coming too.

E: Ε τότε κανένα πρόβλημα. Θα πάρω κι εγώ τα παιδιά μου μαζί. / Then there’s no problem. I’ll bring my kids along too.

D: Τέλεια! Άντε μπες να συμπληρώσεις τη φόρμα ενδιαφέροντος! / Perfect! Go ahead and fill out the interest form!

E: Θα τη συμπληρώσω αμέσως! / I’ll fill it out right away!
