| Greek Language - Learn Greek |
You can survive in Crete without speaking Greek, but if you live on the
island 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 majority of fluent Greek speaking foreigners are those married to,
living or working with Greeks, which suggests that the best way to learn
the language is through total immersion. 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 very 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).
