Nea Smyrni - Post Report Question and Answers

How much of the local language do you need for daily living? Are local language classes/tutors available and affordable?

I would say, it depends where you live. I lived in a working class area at first, outside the city center, and I couldn't even buy bread. Nobody spoke English unless they were under 15 years of age there. Now I live close to the seaside in a suburb of Athens, and I haven't used my Greek for anything unless I really want to practice. - Aug 2006
