Alfa, Vita, Gamma

So the best thing I did yesterday really (since I didn't go to the cinema, nothing good was on) was learning the Greek alphabet. I was going through some reading for my study and there was this one word, written in strange symbols, that I really wanted to know what it means. With the help of my Greek Cypriot flatmate, I ended up writing the whole Greek alphabet, capital and small letters (or should I better say upper case and lower case letters (which are mostly very different from each other)) and the corresponding sounds of those letters. Very interesting stuff, the title is actually how you say A, B, C in Greek (but with the g in 'gamma' pronounced more like 3' in Arabic). Anyway, me and myflatmates (or my flatmates and I, or my flatemates and myself :) ) kept studying in the kitchen together with our laptops and Greek music.

Yasso.. :)

Cool. I keep meaning to get the Greek alphabet and not just do one letter at a time as I need them. Just came across a phrase I need to look up in Siobhan Chapman's book about Grice. I'll ask you when I see you. I'm guessing it's something like 'de loquatio' but I haven't a clue (resisting any utterances with 'all Greek to me' in them ;-)
