I talk to my family often so my Greek is OK -- moved to NL 8 yrs ago -- but when it comes to writing academic text, no, no, no....

I don't talk Mod Greek ever to fam though because my mum is Cyp (not dad hence surname). I only learned Mod Greek @ school.

I hear u there. Then it is hard as it is a difficult language. Acad writing also needs a lot of vocabulary, that I also do not have

I look some words up sometimes or ask Cypriot (or Greek) academics the words. Like cognitive science is γνωσιακή επιστήμη.

Cypriot is also not as similar to Modern Greek than most ppl think anyway (esp see 2nd sentence): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypriot_Greek …

Also to clarify I speak Cypriot to family - not Mod Greek.
