Greek - it's not impossible
I've lived in various countries and always managed to pick up enough of the language to communicate. I had to learn Greek when I moved here years ago and just wanted to reassure everyone that it can be done, but as with most things, you really have to want to learn. Most non-Greeks living here have managed to learn Greek to an acceptable level and, trust me, Greeks are VERY helpful with foreigners trying to learn their language because they know it's difficult and feel flattered and grateful when they see someone making the effort. I've noticed that the people do not learn enough to get by, even if they've lived here many (over ten) years are the the ones who deep down believe that others should accommodate them and speak English. If anyone wants any tips on how to make their learning experience easier, make sure to use the language at least half an hour a day, either reading a small article, listening to the news or talking to someone. You'll be surprised at the progress you make. Good luck!
