Product Description
Although it is aimed at those with no previous knowledge of modern Greek, this course is equally suitable for anyone wishing to brush up existing skills and aims to help users progress from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Greek with confidence. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 15 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself and dealing with everyday situations to writing a formal letter and business communications. The emphasis is on communication throughout with important language structures introduced through dialogues on the accompanying recording. There are plenty of exercises to practise the language as it is introduced and tips throughout to help with pronunciation and grammar. Cultural information sections give useful advice and information for anyone planning a trip to Greece. Retaining the tried and tested structure of the lessons, the course has been updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro. There is a new pronunciation guide which is easier to understand and you need no previous knowledge of language terminology to use it.The script is introduced right from the start but English translations and translitera

Format:Paperback
one cannot fault this book on presentation and substance,but it is far to difficult for the average beginner.Even though it comes with audio cassettes (beautifully spoken) it moves along too fast.The Greek language is far from easy:as anyone who has studied the language will know,but,alas,this book is more likely to alianate the reader than to inspire.

Good Intro To Greek
4 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
This book tries to take you from ground zero to a level of competence in Greek that would allow you to travel reasonably comfortably in Greece. Most of the reading passages are organized around tourist needs (getting hotel rooms,ordering in a restaurant). The initial guide on how to pronounce Greek words is very good and I enjoyed reading the passages which are translated in the first half but not the second. I could not find all of the words in the reading passages in the dictionary at the back and it was sometimes difficult to flip through the text and locate them there. The book teaches some grammar but not a complete range. This works well for one's first attempt at learning the language.
