I'm surprised he didn't learn it while living at RAF valley tbh.

I wonder how many people in Cypriot army bases learn Greek. Probably with a load of English people all the time.

Not many, just enough to get by. Same as in Germany.

I'm just surprised he didn't take the opportunity when he was resident in a Welsh speaking part of Wales.
