Language - short lesson
The language in Corfu is greek.
Of course.
Most people you will meet do speak english,
so there is never any problem understanding.
Sometimes the cleaning lady speaks nothing
but greek, but just smile and say Kalimera
and you will do just fine
I learned to read,write and speak some
so I will give you a little lesson in
most common words.
