I introduce myself as a young student of 24 years.
One day I received a copy of this magazine and I read with much interest. I really liked it because it speaks of everything but mostly I liked the idea of \u200b\u200bshort stories stories about everything that once were the traditions of our country, our territory. At the bottom of the griko should not be seen as a spoken language only, but also as a tradition antica.Il my very first contact with the griko practically born from my first year of life. My first words were uttered nanni and napping. It is from here that was born on my way to a vast sea of \u200b\u200bterms and words that allowed me to learn this language. It all started as a game, I was a very talkative girl and loved to repeat anything they said.
It was actually my grandparents send me the love for this language, so that this love has led me to graduate even in modern greek.
time ago I decided to take a stroll through the streets of Mars where I used to go from small, hand in hand with my grandfather, who knew virtually all the elders who spoke Griko. I felt this need because I was curious to know if after some years we were still in the air a few words of griko carried by the wind in the country. My hopes were very few because many older people have failed us, and unfortunately many of them are perhaps not well. But I decided started my "journey". With wonder and with immense joy from a distance I could hear words griko. I allowed myself to get close to greet them and talk a bit with them. Years later, were left speechless to hear about "this language "from a young girl. In fact, the last time I talked to Griko like a little girl who was afraid to relate such expression in this language. This thing on the one hand it made me smile, the other made me think about the fact that few know about the griko so perfectly as the elderly. They begged me and told me: "It sets forth the Griko, we're old and not the forces we have, not make it, but we would like our culture and our sweat of hard work carried out could go on and live day by day. "
There were already real importance of implementing the articles Griko, I know, because I hope not to bore you but simply to propose an idea which perhaps may be wrong, but we want to try.
are very big people who know only the old walls of their house now, are proud to know speak Griko, but they feel helpless because they believe that today's society knows no more than once love and family values. Many of them have told me that they sacrificed their lives for their children, but inevitably are alone or are left to themselves without suffering at their side. Sometimes they feel a burden to society and the family. This is what prompted me to choose to publish this article, repeating in dealing with the topic.
If we thank them? Because it is thanks to them that we now live in a society as modernized and we have learned to live.
Many parents today believe that learning another language like griko is an unnecessary stress for your child. And if you saw the Griko language not as a useless and old but as a culture that can help to unite so many children? Maybe just teaching the griko with fun activities?
That's what I perceived in the eyes of these people who have suffered in life and made sacrifices for us. I do not think griko taught in a fun way to ruin the children or teenagers. It is a language that belongs to us and have created our great-grandparents and great-grandmother. Would especially for children who have difficulty in relating to others and to better express their feelings and desire to stay with friends. And who knows, maybe a reason for you parents and grandparents for more than an hour to devote to yourself knowing that your children and grandchildren are combining business with pleasure.
Would you like to reach out to those people who are there with your head, but are not able to act in person, despite having the desire to feel alive in our young people?
The youth should be encouraged and helped, along with giving us a hand we could do something beautiful for the future by sending out a culture so important, always reminding us that their children were citizens to do so.
I take this opportunity to dedicate this to my grandfather thanking him for all the values \u200b\u200bthat I sent him that will always be in my heart while being far away. I also thank my grandmother and my parents for teaching me the life and traditions of my country while always lived abroad.
