Greek Basics Made Easy--and Fun!
Studying Greek is intimidating. Not only do you face the usual challenges of learning a new language--vocabulary, grammar, verb tenses--but you also have to learn a non-Roman alphabet. To help you master the language, Read & Speak Greek for Beginners entertains you while you learn, lessening the anxiety of a new script and increasing your confidence in your language skills.
This program teaches you basic vocabulary and explains sentence structures for eight key areas of everyday life--introducing yourself, saying where you're from, asking what things are, asking where things are located, describing objects and people, asking how to get around, talking about your family, and describing what you do. The accompanying CD features all the key words and phrases so you can hear how they are pronounced and repeat them after the speaker.
Inside you will find:
Jane Wightwick is a highly experienced author and product developer in the field of foreign
languages.
Hara Garoufalia and Howard Middle are experienced teachers and authors of
Greek-learning material.

December 05, 2009: Great book for anyone with no or little prior knowlegde of the Greek language. There is enough information in the book to get you started with basic reading and speaking of Greek without overwhelming you. The audio CD helps to grasp the sounds of the Greek language. There is a nice emphasis on learning the concepts of the Greek language without having to make a large time commitment.
