| Greek Language - Learn Greek |
You can survive in Crete without speaking Greek, but if you live here and
wish to integrate you will want to learn to speak Greek. You'll soon pick
up words and phrases in the first weeks and months, however becoming
fluent in Greek will take much longer.
The best way to learn any foreign language is through total immersion.
The majority of fluent Greek speaking foreigners are those married to,
living or working with Greeks. Many English/foreign couples find it more
difficult to learn the language as contact and interaction with locals is
usually limited, and the Greek friends made in the beginning will
probably be those who speak good English!
A good grasp of Greek grammar is also important in learning the
language, and of course there is a whole new alphabet to learn
(although learning the Greek alphabet is not so difficult as it may first
appear).
