Unfortunately, the only Greek I know (besides medical terminology), is Opa. Don't know if that means 'hello', 'goodbye' or 'no, I'm not Armenian'. Don't even know if I'm spelling it right, but for what it's worth, OPA.

Your degree sounds really interesting, Jayne!
Well, I'm trying to finish my MA on Communications, Media and PR...
Greek festivals abroad are usually lots of fun, my Uni in London had a Greek society and they were notorious for their parties.
Well, 'opa' doesn't really translate, it's just an expression denoting enthousiasm, surprise, or just that you're having fun! People say it a lot when they're dancing. You can also use it when you want to stop someone from doing something, something like 'don't'.
I'll take your 'opa' as an expression of enthousiasm, or fun!!! : )
I'm sending you a virtual shot of ouzo!!!
