that too is part of a picture.

maybe I wrote a note last year, too. 

In any case, I regularly ask Greek teachers to
compare their Greek to any other language that they are fluent in and that 
they learned as an adult. 
If they are satisfied, then I have nothing to offer/say. 

If they do not speak and use another language, for comparison, 
then I just ask them to start praying in Greek every morning. 
The experiences will self-teach, self-regulate. 
Then can start to ask 
where they want to end up and what they want to sound like.
