Dear community,
Living with housemates during an Erasmus+ or ESC program often means balancing different schedules while still making time for fun together. In this short dialogue, two housemates try to find the best time to go to the cinema while managing their classes, project work, and meetings. This activity is part of an A1 Greek language course, designed to help beginners practice everyday conversations in a fun and useful way.
Conversation (Greek)
Μαρία: Θέλεις να πάμε σινεμά σήμερα; Έχει μια καινούρια ταινία που φαίνεται ενδιαφέρουσα.
Maria: Do you want to go to the cinema today? There’s a new movie that looks interesting.
Νίκος: Ναι, θέλω πολύ! Αλλά το πρωί έχω μάθημα ελληνικών από τις 10:00 μέχρι τις 12:00.
Nikos: Yes, I’d love to! But in the morning I have Greek class from 10:00 to 12:00.
Μαρία: Καταλαβαίνω. Τι γίνεται το απόγευμα;
Maria: I see. What about the afternoon?
Νίκος: Στις 2:00 πρέπει να πάω στη βιβλιοθήκη για μια ώρα, γιατί έχω εργασία για το πρόγραμμα.
Nikos: At 2:00 I need to go to the library for an hour, because I have an assignment for the project.
Μαρία: Τότε μπορούμε να πάμε στην απογευματινή προβολή στις 5:00.
Maria: Then we can go to the afternoon screening at 5:00.
Νίκος: Μμμ, στις 5:00 έχω συνάντηση με τον μέντορα μας. Τι λες για τη βραδινή προβολή στις 8:00;
Nikos: Hmm, at 5:00 I have a meeting with our mentor. What about the evening screening at 8:00?
Μαρία: Ιδανικά! Θα πάμε σινεμά στις 8:00 λοιπόν.
Maria: Perfect! So we’ll go to the cinema at 8:00.
Νίκος: Συμφωνήσαμε. Σινεμά το βράδυ, δεν το χάνουμε!
Nikos: Agreed. Cinema tonight, we won’t miss it!
