Today we reviewed our trip to Chania. I knew that during the
trip we did a lot, but going over everything that we did made me realize just
how busy we were there. We saw so many things and met so many people! We also
talked about the similarities and differences between Santorini and Crete. We
all went to Santorini this weekend and explored all of the city and the little
shops. However, we all felt that it was too touristy and were so excited to
come back to Ideal.
We then did our weekly Monday tradition of learning words.
We learned how to say career words like flight attendant, work and police. We
also asked about words that we wanted to know such as excuse me, what time is
it and we missed you. I have noticed that I am getting better at reading the words in Greek. I still get confused on some letters, but I think it is because these letters are not used as much like X. But I am also able to now hear the accent in the words and identify where the accent should be placed on the vowels. We learned also how important the accent can be in the words. The word for slavery and work are the same word, but differentiated by an accent.
We then learned about Cooperative Banking. This was
interesting because this philosophy does not exist in the US. Cooperative Banking is very popular in Greece as it allows banks to work together to create an overall more stable system. It also encourages the ideal of Greece where people should work together. I thought that it was interesting how in their Annual Report, a lot of the facts and features were also in English. This shows their international focus as well as their dedication to making Greece an international brand.
