Hi
does any one know of a place in Pafos that takes children for Greek lessons during the summer holidays?

Many Thanks

I have been advised that learning Greek via books/CD is not really the best way as Cypriot is very much more dialect based than text-book Greek.

Is this correct or is learning it a good base to start from.

WELL SINCE EVERY ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND BOTH GREEK AND CYPRIOT THESE DAYS IT DOESN'T RELLY MATTER WHAT YOU LEARN.

I LEFT CYPRUS AS A 4 YEAR OLD YEARS AGO AND HAVE JUST RETURNED AND ALL I SPEAK IS HEAVILY DIALECT CYPRIOT WITH COMPLIMENTS TO MY MUM, AND I'M GETTING BY WELL ENOUGH............. JUST FIND IT A BIT HARD UNDERSTANDING TEXT BOOK GREEK THOUGH. SO YOU MIGHT FIND IT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE FROM THE VILLAGES (IF YOU LEARN VIA CD ETC), BUT THEY'LL UNDERSTAND YOU.

Thanks.

This is of course assuming that you can teach an old dog new tricks!

Why do they have 3 different meanings for the letter E?
