Typical Greek Lesson

Beth reads Greek word.
Beth asks Yiannis for translation of a word in the paragraph she doesn't know.
Yiannis gives Beth an English word to attempt to help her figure it out herself.
Beth doesn't know English word.
Yiannis gives definition for English word.

On a positive note, besides mostly just feeling stupid, I guess I should be thankful, that this Greek language learning will help my English vocabulary as well.

Yiannis does have a Greek accent, and sometimes I have to have him repeat a word before I understand it, but his English vocabulary I think exceeds my own!
