Excuse me but they are many Greeks who
have married outside their race, some of my relatives have,
and it's very difficult for a child to learn Greek or any other language when both parents have different backgrounds,
in any case Kalomoira does speak Greek, just because she doesn't recognize or can't pronounce some Greek words correctly that doesn't give you or anybody else the right to attack her, I'm very proud of her she has nothing to be ashamed of.
First I liek to say that Kalomoira is a Star, the girl has talent and I wish her luck on what ever she wants to do in her life.
BUT Anon, there is no excuse for her Greek. She need to learn Greek and I am glad now she has the chance.
I have relatives who got married to Italians, Irish, Latin, even from Sri Lanka and they all have learned GREEK.
Some of them speak so well just like a Greek in Greece and most of them speak a lot better than Kalomoira, way a lot better.
In reply to:
Compare to how some in Greece speak Greek Kalomoira's Greek is superburb.
You know I had noticed too when visiting Greece how some Greeks speak Greek weird odd ...XIORIATIKA but I never said anything to them but lo and behold if I didn't pronounce a word correctly they would make fun.
Your family must have a problem with Greek(s). I never make fun of any hillie billies do you? Anytime you go to Texas you make fun of these people? or Alabama or.........
Give Kalomoira a few years or months to practice her Greek and then compare, there is no comparison here.
Ela pappou mou na sou dei3w ta abeloxorafa sou is just wrong. The Albanian girl at Fame story spoke a lot better Greek than kalomoira.

What about Greeks who come to live here and never learn a word of English??? Isn't that tragic??? after all you live in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the universal language is ENGLISH!!
Many people have an accent, if they try to learn the language of the place they live it's ok, better than some people that never try to learn. Why should you leave your country to go some place and never learn the way they speak? that's wrong I agree.
In reply to:
I agree with The Orthodox Churches conducting mass in English!! Do you realize they are many other races other than Greek who share the same religion and visit our churches?
And personally I rather hear God's word in plain English, I understand it better, because the Greek Orthodox masses chant too much and give me a headache!! I want them to read the bible not chant it to me.
In holy trinity they conduct masses in English they should start in other churches around the region as well.
Wrong!!!!!!!! Like the people whoi want to USA or Spain or wherever and want to learn the language, wann become a Greek Orthodox then learn some Greek.
Our Langauge is what keeps us alive as Greeks let's not forget that.
In reply to:
And another thing not all parents have enough money to send their kids Greek afternoon school or private schools.
Going back to the topic the point is Greeks in Greece will accept any other race but when it comes to Greek-Americans they have animosity towards them out of jealousy, I have experienced it personally and I see it all the time.Kalomoira is just another example.
Personally I don't think anyone is jealous of Kalomoira.
I bet you that Greeks in Greece LOVE HER and Admire her for her talent but teh truth is said here, imagine if she did speak Greek well? oh boy.
For me same goes for Jennifer Aniston. She doesn't know a word and yet she is there because of the Greek Factor

Greek is the most beautiful and meaningfull langauge in teh world
