Hey Everyone,
I was thinking about this for a long time...
If you didn't know I have a Greek Background - Yes, I am Greek and I live in Greece.
My fan fic "My Summertime In Heaven" has many Greek words or expressions that I write down in Greeklish(which is greek in latin characters)because If I chose to use the Greek Characters you wouldn't understand anything!!!
So I will make a Greek Glossary For Each Chapter as a companion...
In fanfiction.net three chapters are uploaded so I will explain every greek word or expression for each chapter! You can check the story here
In Chapter 1 : Leaving Forks
You were introduced in the word Yiayia In Greek: Γιαγιά in English: Grandmother
In Chapter 2 : Journey
You were introduced to a full sentence...
Kalws irthate stin Ellada Aggeloi tou Charly or Καλώς ήρθατε στην Ελλάδα, Άγγελοι του Τσάρλυ that stands for Welcome in Greece Charly's Angels!
In Chapter 3 : Going Home
