Teach Yourself Greek is an up-to-date
course in modern Greek. If you want to make quick progress
beyond the basics for your next holiday or business
trip to Greece, or if you need to brush up your existing
knowledge, then this is the course for you.
The emphasis is on communication throughout
so that by the end of the course you will be understanding,
speaking and writing Greek with confidence. Key structures
and vocabulary are introduced in 15 thematic units dealing
with topics from saying hello to giving opinions and
carrying out business discussions. The first four units
form a 'survival package' - a basic introduction to
the language you will need when in Greece, later units
introduce you to the grammar in more detail so that
you can learn to form sentences accurately.
This new edition has been completely
rewritten and updated to make explanations simpler and
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 transliterations
of the dialogues have been added to the first five units
so that you you can start speaking immediately.
All the dialogues and other listening
material are available on the accompanying recording
which has been increased to two cassettes or two CDs
amounting to approximately 150 minutes of listening
material. The CDs / cassettes are available separately
or in a pack with the book. |
