Common Greek expressions and phrases that do not literally translate that well into English but are extremely common in Greece, especially in Millennial/ Gen Z audiences. Slang phrases are always informal and even though they are not negative in meaning you should never use them when speaking to an elder, a person like your boss, doctor, professor etc and in general with people you do not know. 



it's all Greek to me!

Greek Slang 

¿quién soy? ¿por qué aprender idiomas?

When speaking, don't use the pronoun 'I'.
(I think... I suggest... I propose...)

Instead, use 'you'.
(You can... You need to... You should...)
This makes your audience feel the focus is on them, and then they will want to listen to what you have to say.

Even better, to fully integrate yourself into a global team, use 'we'.
(We have to... We could... We will be able to....)
This shows you are all working towards the same goal and helps people accept you into their circle.

Daily Affirmation 1

こんにちは！Atsushiです。
北海道、千歳市の気温は15℃ぐらいですが、とても寒く感じます。

今日は、日本語のレッスンでおもしろい話をしていたので、紹介しますね。

日本語には、食べる時の食感の表現がいくつかあります。
その中の、カリカリとサクサクの違いについて話していました。どんな違いがあるかわかりますか？

僕のイメージでは、
カリカリは揚げ物の食感に使うことが多いですね。
少しだけ固いものを食べる時に使います。
例えば、カリカリのベーコンとか、アーモンドなどにも使いますね。

続いて、サクサクです。
これは、カリカリよりももう少し柔らかいイメージです。
例えば、天ぷらやトンカツなど、軽い食感のものの時に使います。

人によって少し違うかもしれませんが、そんな感じですね。
また他の言葉も取り上げてみようと思います。

ということで、今回も最後まで聞いていただき、ありがとうございます！

ではまた！
