5.0 out of 5 stars A great help for self studying modern Greek, 27 Jun 2007

By	Bernard M. Abel "bearliners" (Langley, Berks, Angleterre) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

the bext textbook for self study, 27 Jun 2007
By Bernard M. Abel "bearliners" (Langley, Berks, Angleterre) - See all my reviews

Learning modern Greek can be a bit of a daunting task.
Specially if you have some knowledges of classical Greek . The modern pronunciation, the iotacism, words that looks alike but do mean something different.. well, it can be a bit scary.

Now, I must say that "Greek Today" is a REALLY GOOD self study textbook.

TEXTBOOK: The main book is quite thick and is in a A4 format. It comes along with a workbook that I definitely recommend as it gives great exercises and a great way to make sure you know your vocabulary. All the explanations are in English,and also, the course comes with 2 CD roms, 1 for Mac, one for Windows, with recordings of the dialogue by Greek actors.

Studying that course is pleasant, an easy task and honestly, it makes modern Greek a Doodle to learn compared to its classical sister. NO ghastly hard conjugations, reduced declensions.. what a joy. Greek Today gives you all the pleasure of learning a great and lovely language without the headaches. The website also gives you extra material to study and loads of texts, videos and is very user friendly.
I have tried other textbooks, and THIS one is by far my favorite.

WORKBOOK : This 200p, A4 format workbook is the must buy complement for anyone already using the main textbook "Greek Today" by Peter Bien

Each chapter of that workbook does match each chapter of the main coursebook and gives you loads of various exercises, drills, Multiple choice, crosswords, fill in, phrases to translate..
along with some interesting input about Greek actual culture and civilisation.

All the explanations are in English, BUT, do not expect to be able to use that workbook UNTIL you have mastered the Greek alphabet 1st chapter of the main textbook.

Studying Greek only by relying on that workbook is indeed a wate of money and time, as you would not have a clue what the book is talking about .
Like its title does say.
This is only a Workbook (even though a great and user friendly one, I must say) and you do need the main textbook to take full benefits of that excellent study tool

If you re serious about learning modern Greek.. Go for it . Buy that course, (I know it is an investment but you deserve quality ).
Get yourself a cup of agnos ellinikos kafes (real greek style coffee) and start studying.. You won t regret it , I can assure you that

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless book, 5 Mar 2008

By	Puffin Pippa (uk) - See all my reviews

This workbook would be great if it contained corrections. Without them it is useless.
