"Εγώ μιλάω Αγγλικά."

Translation: I speak English.

[bondybondbond]

why Εγώ μιλάω, when you can also say μιλώ too right?

[D_..]

Probably because some verb forms are favoured over others and μιλώ is one of the latter! :) It is correct though, you're right.

[stergios426]

I have been taught that "Εγώ" is being used here for emphasis, as in "Me, I am speaking".

[Rth0ma5]

Can someone help me with the pronunciation of "Αγγλικά" please?

I can't tell from the audio if it's "Agglicka" (hard G) or "Anglicka"

[mizinamo]

Both are possible. I'd go for /ŋg/ myself, i.e. the "-ng-" sound as in "finger", i.e. you hear both an "ng" sound and a "g" sound.

[Rene21590]

It is "anglicka". Because of the gg, it sounds like ng.

[Mimi658232]

I would say the nasal "ng" sound is more official (it was already the way γγ was pronounced in classical Greek, and it's usually the sound given in modern textbooks), but the simple "g" sound can be heard as well and seems to be considered correct by Greek people. In another course (Pimsleur) I could hear the speaker clearly says [aglika] with no nasal sound.

[Merrydholl]

Well, at least this phrase is true :-)

[alexsaurus_332]

Yes i know duo... :)

[Jared159325]

This is probably the only thing I will remember though...

[ThomasFAustria]

What is the difference between "μιλάω" and "μιλω" ?

[mizinamo]

No difference in meaning.

μιλάω is a bit more colloquial and μιλώ a bit more formal, I'd say.

[WalterAlle4]

I forget, but don't language names get capitalized in greek? Duolingo's letting me slide with lower case.

[PauloMuffato]

Trivial: I said I do speak english and Duo said it was incorrect.

[mizinamo]

That has a degree of emphasis that is missing from the Greek sentence.

"do" in a positive sentence (not a negative sentence or a question) adds emphasis, a bit like "indeed" or "really".
