A taxi was the last place I expected to have a grammar lesson!

Following a long day of sight-seeing in Athens this past April, my husband and I hailed a taxi to take us to our next destination. After a greeting in Greek, the conversation turned to questions about why I was learning Greek, how long I’d been studying and what methods I’d been using to learn the language. I don’t know about you, but these topics have become so familiar that they are now easy to answer!

Of course, somewhere in the conversation I made a grammar mistake. No surprise there. Cue grammar lesson – in Greek! The driver was kind and patient about explaining the grammar and he seemed genuinely interested in making the effort to help improve my language skill.

Moral of the story, use your language skills when the opportunity presents itself. You never know where the conversation will lead!
