Product Description

Product Description
'Teach Yourself Beginner's Greek Script' starts from scratch and teaches you how to read and write the Greek alphabet correctly from the beginning. It will enable you to understand enough from signs, directions, instructions and even menus to be able to get by on your next visit to Greece. Throughout the book you will follow the progress of two travellers, Mike and Lisa, on their first trip to Greece as they get to grips with the Greek script. Together you will learn how to pronounce Greek words and write the alphabet. This new edition has been completely updated to reflect changes such as the introduction of the euro.

The book is divided into two main parts. Units 1-4 introduce you to the letters of the alphabet step by step with exercises to practise each new point.

Units 5-10 introduce you to real-life situations such as reading signs, maps, notices and menus. You will be able to go shopping, recognise the names of the islands, order food from a Greek menu, use public transport and even write a postcard.

Unit 11 is a useful summary of the language commonly found in signs in Greece.

By the end of the book, you will understand how the Greek script works and will have mastered the basics of reading and writing Greek.

The leader in self-learning with more than 300 titles, covering all subjects.
Be where you want to be with Teach Yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the bunch, 1 Dec 2004
If you want to learn the Greek alphabet, there is no better book on the market. Best of all, because it is written in a light manner, it doesn't feel like you're actually studying. Its presentation is fun, smooth, logical, and at the end of it (which only takes an hour or so) you will know the Greek alphabet and how to read Greek.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best and easiest book out there to learn Greek script, 28 Nov 2000
There is only one problem with 'Beginner's Greek Script,' you'll be wishing all Greek language books were written in such a manner. While you won't be able to read Greek newspapers or books, you will be able to get your way around signs, menus, notices and advertisments, sounding out all words you come to. Small in size and price, if you are just starting to learn Greek, this book will become the most important one you own. This reviewer only wishes the same writing team continues on and tackles Greek verbs in the same manner.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Buy Book To Teaching Yourself Greek, 20 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This book is a must have item for anyone who like me would like to be able to talk,read and write greek i was able to speak a little Greek that i had learnt from repeating phrases that i had learnt from other greek language sources.
But i was having trouble learning the Greek alaphabet,and this is where this book is invaluable it takes you through the alaphabet with a few letters at a time giving you practise to pronounce,read and write with the letters you have learnt before moving on to more letters,it is wrote as if you are following two tourists on there first visit to Greece.
I found i was reading Greek and able to move on with learning Greek with the help of this book, where as before i had come to the point where it was a struggle to continue. i would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn greek and you will find all your other greek learning material will become easier. You must buy it.
