Expertise

I love, admire and respect my language because its history is incredible. I can help you with almost anything that concerns Classical or Modern Greek (translation, grammar, syntax, vocabulary, morphology, etymology etc.). I've not yet been much into poetry, but in case you ask about it I'll try my best.

Experience in the area

Archaeology (University of the Aegean), personal interest

Education/Credentials

Hi Marcel, thank you for your question. I assume that you want the words "respect" and "honor" to function as nouns and not as verbs. Right? Then, you'd have the following: Modern Greek: Σ
