You can generally get by with English in Cyprus. It doesn't hurt to learn a bit. I have.

the Answer is that most of the time, No, you need no Greek (unless you insist on watching local TV). If I can manage, and I am no cunning linguist, anyone who speaks English can. Most Cypriots, particularly younger people, speak good English. These days many government and bank's forms have an English version. The major problems will be in reading signs and notices in buildings, most of which will only be in Greek.

Its good to learn some Greek but as English is widely spoken Greek is not that necessary.

By the way, Im good at cooking, excellent in fact, ironing, washing up, all done whilst having a glass or two of red wine. The only house chores I hate doing is making the beds and hoovering. Im also a good story teller, speak Greek far better than the average Cypriot does, and very good with Donald duck sounds and many more. Some say I would make someone a perfect wife, but being as straight as they come and with a 32 year old other third I stick to being a .....young man at almost 69 years old :lol: :lol:
Cyprus IS Paradise on earth, the perfect place to bring up children, give or take a few nasties such as our resident ....psycho :lol: :lol:

If you want to post your resume don’t forget to mention that you also sport a fine set of yellow dentures, always insist on a BYO for colostomy bags, absolutely loathe Palestinian children (well anyone non-Caucasian really), and have the intellect of a mummified hamster that died of rabies.

Unlike you psycho, I do not loath children from any corner of the world, I do however loath those that hide amongst children in order to send their rockets to Israel. These children are killed by Hamas, in fact many are trained from an early age to become suicide bombers, your favourite people. Dont give me the bullshit that you care for them, you are a perverted psychopath, little shit like you I have faced many times and always flash them down the toilet. To take Miltiades on you have to wait until he is 6 foot under, thats the only time you will get one over him, however the chances are you will blow your miserable self up long before. PLONKER :lol:
