Σιγα Σιγα

Slowly, slowly. Bit by bit. Eventually.

It's the phrase that comes up frequently when I'm speaking with the locals about my Greek language skills.

I've had more opportunity lately to engage in brief conversations with various shop-keepers about town, and while my vocabulary, grammar and comprehension is abysmal, I have been given props on my pronunciation:-)

I was able to articulate to the woman who cut my hair today that I just wanted a little taken off, with some layers added in. She understood enough to give me a decent cut, and not the mullet that I was dreading might result from lack of communication.

I figure I'll just be getting rolling when it's time to leave!!
