I have previously used the bbc greek language and people course (which is excellent) and needed to brush up. I thought a change would do me good. Anyway I must say I love this book. It is entertaining and informative and easy to follow.
I am ordering the cd to go with it though as I feel that I am missing out without it. Some of the listening exercises don't have the same effect if you don't hear them.

As someone who has spoken greek for some time then I think this book, whilst very interesting for beginners, is not as easy as the bbc course. I feel that it assumes that you know things about the greek language which a complete beginner would not. If you want to brush up, or if you get the full package cd/cassette and book then I think you have a little bargain here.

I have tried several "teach yourself" Greek courses, but this one is the best. What I liked about this book/cd set was that new vocabulary was introduced in short sections. Some books overwhelm you with many words at one time, which makes it difficult to learn. Each chapter is divided into 5 small sections - 4 of which have some vocabulary and a grammar lesson. Additionally, all of the dialogues are on the cd-Roms, along with many pronunciation and speaking practices.

I like this course, but it certainly isn't for complete beginners. It's a good adjunct to courses which really are easy. It's the audio that's the challenge, unless you cheat and read the transcript, which defeats the purpose of trying to develop listening skills. The audio is pacy and colloquial, with about a million new items of vocab in each dialogue. I like to listen over and over again until I can answer the gist questions before reading the transcript.

I got as far as Unit 7 before finding that impossible. I've had to consolidate using other courses. I'll come back to this book, though, because I do like hearing 'real' dialogues instead of the baby stuff.
