I'm sure there was a discussion in the General Holiday Enquiries forum about learning language and some members had recommendations. Will see if I can find it.

also numbers for when i want to buy, i found spanish easier to learn and pick up than turkish, this year we are going to greece, so again it will be basics.

Turkish is a nightmare and yes spanish doesn't seem that bad once you get into it.........may well prove different in conversation of course :?

Greece: Yassou and Yammas are used a lot

I did GCSE and A Level Spanish (although I failed the A Level) - this is over 10 years ago and I've not maintained my knowledge. On our last holiday to Tossa, we found a lovely little SPanish bar on one of the back streets and I managed to have a chat with the owner with my broken Spanish - it was good fun and interesting in how we were able to make ourselves understood during the conversation. I think he was appreciative of my efforts. It also helped when I was looking for a pharmacist to help with a particularly nasty sting.
