ένα γράμμα μια ιστορία....

A huge thank you to Gogo for e-mailing me the link to these fun videos. Each letter of the Greek alphabet is made into a short 5 minute cartoon filled with images and words that start with that letter.

These come from the educational broadcasting website of the Ministry of Education in Greece that you can find here.

μήλο μου κόκκινο

Lyrics
Μήλο μου κόκκινο, ρόιδο βαμμένο (x2)
Γιατί με μάρανες το πικραμένο

Παένω κ’ έρχομαι μα δεν βρίσκω (x2)
Βρίσκω την πόρτα σου μανταλομένη

Τα παραθυρούδια σου φεγγοβολούνε (x2)
Ρωτάω την πόρτα σου, που πάει η κυρά σου

Κυρά μ’ δεν είναι ‘δώ, πάησε στην βρύση (x2)
Πάησε να βρει νερό και να γεμίσει

Translation
My red apple, my scarlet pomegranate,
why have you made me wilted and bitter?

I come and go, but cannot find you
I try your door, and it's always locked.

Your windows are always lighted
I ask your door, "Where is your lady?"

"My lady is not here, she is at the wellspring
She's gone to bring water".

Φρόστυ ο Χιονάνθρωπος

There is a wonderful Greek children's YouTube channel called Paidiki Fwlia... I encourage you to take a look along with your children. There are so many things to watch, all in Greek, incuding Barbie Princesses, Disney songs, Warner Brothers cartoons and more. So much fun!

Greek Children's Music

I don't know about you, but my kids love Greek music. Not only do they enjoy it, but it also boosts their vocabulary! I am amazed at what they learn, and when I ask them about it, they will tell me in many cases it was from a song they heard.

Join the fun, by listening to Greek children's music and videos at ΠαιδικάΤραγούδια.gr at
