How many Greeks speak English?

It's impossible to give an exact number of Greeks who speak English. Here's why:

* No Official Census: There's no official census or survey that specifically tracks English proficiency in Greece.

* Varying Levels: Even if there were data, it wouldn't be simple. Some people speak English fluently, while others might only understand basic phrases.

* Tourism and Education: English is widely taught in schools, and Greece's tourism industry necessitates English for many jobs. This means that many Greeks have at least some exposure to the language.

However, we can make some educated guesses:

* Youth are more likely: Younger generations in Greece tend to be more proficient in English due to increased access to English-language media and education.

* Urban areas are likely higher: People in urban areas, especially those working in tourism or international businesses, are more likely to speak English.

Instead of a specific number, it's more accurate to say that a significant portion of the Greek population has some level of English proficiency, with the percentage likely increasing among younger generations and those in urban areas.
