Jenny, I am looking forward to how your therapist responded in Part 4.
I recently moved up within the Beginner level in my Greek class. Everyone else is ahead of me. I struggle to understand what they say and how I respond. I fretted to my teacher later. She said, <<Δεν πειράζει, John, σιγά σιγά.>>
Thank you John! He didn't dwell on it . . . just asked me if I would rather proceed carefully through childhood conversation, wading slowly, or dive straight in — I opted for the latter 🤪 I'm sure much more will surface over time, anyway, at we're still just at the very beginning of exploring things and I'm new to the whole format.
Way to go on moving up within your Greek class!! That is so hard when you're struggling to understand, let alone to speak the words you might know when listening or even reading! I'm so impressed that you might even have a clue what your teacher's reply means :D And if not yet, then you will!
Speaking of time revealing things, “Δεν πειράζει, σιγά σιγά” (pronounced Then PierAHzee, seeGahh, seeGahh) translated literally is “It doesn’t matter, slowly slowly,” but the sense in this case was “Don’t worry about it, it will come in time.” I think this is good advice for both of us.

Not at all surprised you dove right in!
