Some basic business phrases in Greek
My company are opening a Greek office and we will need to contact them by phone sometimes, so I'm looking for a few basic phrases such as "hello, can I speak to x?", "can I leave a message?", "can you get him/her to call me?", and of course "do you speak English/French/German?"...
Some technical phrases would be good too, things like "computer", "software", "e-mail", "web", "web browser", etc.
If anyone can tell me what the second language situation is like in Greece that would be great too. For example, do many greek people speak a second language and what are the most commonly spoken foreign languages.
I will probably get some Greek lessons or a Greek course on cd, but any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Re:Some basic business phrases in Greek
Hello Kathryn
and here it is:
1. "hello, can I speak to x?" = yeia sas, mporo na miliso ston x?
2. "can I leave a message?" = mporo na afiso ena minima?
3. "can you get him/her to call me?" = mporeite na tou/tis peite
na mou tilefonisi?
4. "do you speak English/French/German?" = milate (plural)
Aglika/Galika(sounds like yale)/Germanika(sounds like yale)?
You can use the words "computer", "software", "e-mail", "web", "web browser" in a conversation with a Greek too.
About 60% of Greeks speak foreign languages, mostly English.
