Help modern Greek handwriting. Calling out all Greek "writers"

sigiloso · 04-11-2005, 11:05 AM

Hi!
I've just taken up Modern Greek and feel elated, so easy and beautiful. But I 've got what may seem like a little thing to you but it's bothering me. I've got what I thought to be perfect orthography from my high school Ancient Greek, which is exactly the way Greek is printed, and just thought so good I can use it now. But then the other day picked up a Greek method, entirely in Greek so could'nt read the explanations, where a set of handwritten Greek letters where offered, similarly to Russian or latin letters seemed to me must be ridiculous to handwrite "like a book".
Please can anybody help me? What should I do? I am very perfectionist, no botching solutions please.
Long life to beautiful Greek Language!

Read the first paragraph and then click on the smiley face.

Hope it helps.

I don't know the first thing about the Greek language, but I just ran a search on Google and this guy had posted this.

Hi.
I found something interesting and that could be of a real help. I paste the links below:
Filoglossia - Chapter 1 - The Greek Alphabet
(Select 'WAV Audio', and then as you click on each letter of the Greek Alphabet displayed there, a pic will appear, showing a handwriting demo)
I found the above link on wikipedia, at:
Talk:Modern Greek/Writing lessons plan - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
