Hello Cyprus

Hoping to visit Cyprus this fall and want to familiarize myself with the language anyone willing to help would be greatly appreciated...

Which language? the Kypreos version of Greek, the Kibrilisi vesrion of Turkish, English (the language of the old colonial master) Russian, the language of the up-and coming colonial mistress, or just plain bad?

about learning the language - we have been learning and speaking Greek for a few years now on our visits to greece- is cypriot much different or will we be able to get by. is the dialect strange.x

koroua573...Where are you from? If you're in the UK, the BBC web-site has an area for learning Greek (though I'm not sure if it's any good - I just know it's there).

petronella2...Greek and Greek-Cypriot languages are basically the same, but they are like regional dialects. For instance, Greeks say 'En-ay-a', whereas Greek-Cypriots say 'En-ya'. In either country you'd be met with some minor problems, but you could definitely pick it up.

I started to learn a few years ago. And people say English is the hardest language to learn. Couldn't get my head round tables and chairs being male and female etc. Didn't have enough time to give it a chance to be fair. I'd love to be fluent in Greek so may have a gander at the BBC website suggested above.

Greek is a difficult language and definitely more complicated than English.
