Here I am reading the lyrics of one of my favorite songs "Aneva sto trapezi mou"
I am curious, what languages or accents does it sound like when I speak Greek?

Thanks very much. I really love Greek music. My recordings are mostly of me reading Greek song lyrics.

let's make it clear dude, the songs you have posted to this day are greek speaking, not Greek

I have posted my favorite Greek songs in the Greek music thread. The songs are in Greek, and they are sung by Greek singers, like Mihalis Menditatis and Xaris Alexiou. They are beautiful songs. I have familiarize myself with the Greek language through its music and song lyrics. I love them. I hope you like them too. What is it about them that is not Greek? And if so, what are they then? Just curious. I received your rep comment.

Also what do you think of my Greek?

Nice try

Your accent is intelligible and clear,anyone could understand you without having to look at the text you're reading.There were some endings that you missed like in "agiasthito",but not a serious mistake.The fact that you can't pronounce the gamma is normal because you're not used to it in english
I would rate it 8/10.

Pretty good..6.5/10

Thanks man, do I sound close to a Greek native or do you detect a foreign accent? If so, could it be my Armenian accent?

their melody, and rythm. it was introduced through some indian movies of 60's mixed with anatolian music which obviously has nothing in common with true Greek

i give 9/10 to your Greek for a foreigner who never lived here

Thank you man, I have heard the same comment made about my 'gamma' from another user. I will work on it.

"Gamma" "Thita" and our heavy "ro" are quite a hassle for a beginner in Greek.Just some more practice and you'll get there
