Greek Language Experts
About this episode

In today's episode we will talk about the "Back to school" period in September and how it looks like in Greece. We will also talk about some traditions and preparations for the new school year.


E: Καλό μήνα! Επιστρέψατε από τις διακοπές; /Happy new month! Did you come back from vacation?

D: Ναι! Ετοιμαζόμαστε για την επιστροφή στο σχολείο. Εσείς; /Yes! We’re getting ready for back to school. How about you?

Ε: Εμείς γυρνάμε αύριο από το χωριό και τα παιδιά δεν θέλουν να φύγουν με τίποτα! / We’re coming back from the village tomorrow, and the kids don’t want to leave at all!

D: Μία από τα ίδια κι εμείς όταν φύγαμε από τους παππούδες. Πού να δεις χαρές που θα κάνουν στις 11 Σεπτεμβρίου που θα ανοίξουν και πάλι τα σχολεία. / Same with us when we left the grandparents. Just wait till you see how happy they’ll be on September 11th when school starts again.

Ε: Τι τάξη θα πάνε φέτος; / What grade are they going to this year?

D: Η Μαρία θα πάει πρώτη Λυκείου και ο Παναγιώτης Δευτέρα Γυμνασίου. Εσένα; / Maria is going to 10th grade (first year of high school) and Panagiotis to 8th grade (second year of middle school). Yours?

Ε: Ουάου! Η Μαρία τελειώνει το σχολείο σιγά σιγά! Εμένα ο μεγάλος θα πάει Τετάρτη Δημοτικού και ο μικρός νηπιαγωγείο. / Wow! Maria is slowly finishing school! My oldest is going to 3rd grade in primary school, and the little one to kindergarten. 

D: Άντε με το καλό. Και από του χρόνου στο Δημοτικό και ο Γιώργος! / That’s great. And next year George will be in elementary too!

Ε: Ναι, αυτός χαίρεται λίγο περισσότερο για την επιστροφή στο σχολείο από τον Ανδρέα! / Yes, he’s actually a bit more excited about going back to school than Andreas is!

D: Λογικό! Το ίδιο και η Μαρία… αγχώνεται πολύ που μπαίνει στο Λύκειο φέτος./ Makes sense! Same with Maria… she’s very stressed about starting high school this year.

Ε: Το φαντάζομαι. Εμείς αύριο θα πάμε να πάρουμε μία  καινούργια τσάντα και ένα παγούρι για τον μικρό. Θέλεις να έρθεις; / I can imagine. Tomorrow we’re going to buy a new school bag and a water bottle for the little one. Want to come along?

D: Φέτος λέμε να χρησιμοποιήσουν τις περσινές τσάντες και κασετίνες και για τα υπόλοιπα σχολικά είδη θα πάμε αφού ξεκινήσουν τα σχολεία και ξέρουμε τι χρειάζονται. Μπορούμε όμως να κανονίσουμε έναν καφέ πριν μπούμε στη ρουτίνα. / This year we decided they’ll use last year’s bags and pencil cases, and for the rest of the school supplies we’ll shop after classes begin, once we know what they need. But we can definitely plan a coffee before we get back into routine.

Ε: Εννοείται! Μέσα στο Σαββατοκύριακο θα είμαι ελεύθερη, πάμε όποτε θες! / Of course! I’ll be free over the weekend, let’s go whenever you want!

D: Θα ξαναμιλήσουμε μέσα στη βδομάδα! / We’ll talk again during the week!
