yep, the language is quite "different" - but not that complicated upon the whole.. im now learning "good mornings" and numbers

I am trying to learn, but what a bloody nightmare it is. There are 5 different meanings for the letter E.
I shall persevere though and learn it if it kills me.
The only problem is you say Kalla mera (good morning) to a Cypriot and they go off at you hell for leather in Greek.
You have to tell them Segar Segar

It is "kali mera" and "siga siga"... in the greek language you will not find many words ending in "r"(I think there is none).
