Greek is spoken by about 13 million people and is the official language of Greece and Cyprus. Greece is a country with a hallowed past and an at-times turbulent present. Appreciation of the achievements of its classical past tends overshadow its development as a free nation since the War of Independence from the Ottomans in 1821. Many foreign Hellenists imbued with a romantic ideal of the Greece of Pericles and the Parthenon are blithely ignorant that Greece today is a vibrant modern European country. It is equally a land where the languages of recent migrant communities from the Balkans, Africa and Asia — not to mention the English and German of EU migrants and retirees — contribute to Greece's status as one of Europe's more recent multicultural societies. Their zest for life, their curiosity and their unquestioning hospitality to the visitors in their midst is what makes a visitor's experience in the country inevitably unforgettable. The Greeks may curse their luck at times, distrust their politicians and believe “oiling” the wheels of bureaucracy a fact of life, but they maintain their joie de vivre, their spontaneity and their optimism.

In addition to Greece and Cyprus, Greek is spoken in Albania, Italy, Turkey and Egypt.

Here are some of the basic Greek phrases that you might use:

• Pós sas léne? (What’s your name?)
• Efharistó! (Thank you!)
• Pos les … sta Elliniká? (How do you say … in Greek?)
