Understand the definition of "comprehensive" before purchase

Customer Rating:

I have studied Modern Greek for 1 1/2 years using the Teach Yourself series. If you are not serious about advanced learning, then this is not the book for you. In the opening chapters I understood more of the Greek words than the English ones. Voiced plosives , labiodental fricatives, phonemes, etc. They describe how to sound out the correct pronounciation of the Greek letters and letter combinations using words like that, rather than giving examples of similar sounds using familiar English words. These descriptions along with my prior knowledge of the language did help me to understand the subtle differences that the "beginner books" could not. Once you get used to the over-the-top intellectualism you will find that this book explains the highly complex Greek language in detail like no other. The Teach Yourself series is easy to understand, but generally leaves one wondering "why", while this book provides quite the opposite experience. In the end, I've realized that it may be more valuable to understand more about the English language than the Greek language before purchasing this book.

The Best Yet!

Customer Rating:

I have been learning Modern Greek for only 3 years. I had tried many books and courses but was greatly confused by the verb forms - "the What" and "the When". Then one of my teachers in Athens recommended this book - I found it on Amazon, bought it and immediately things became clear ......especially the explanation of Aspect! I could go on - but I won't. It is by far, The Best Yet. With gratitude, Jim Trueman

Simply the best	Customer Rating:
This Greek grammar is, quite simply, the best and most comprehensive available. The detail is excellent and, whilst frequently employing technical linguistic terminology throughout, it can be easily understood with little or no knowledge of such. Highly reccommended, indeed - a must, for anyone who wishes to gain an in-depth understanding of the Greek language.

YIKES!!! Big big book!

Customer Rating:

I'm giving this book a 4-star rating because it was definitely "comprehensive"...but, a little too comprehensive if you need just an explanation of the basics. This book is rather large and goes into some horrific detail on Greek Grammar...probably even more than fluent Greek speakers know. For what it is, it's good...but it's just not what I needed. I think I'll try the reference Greek Grammar book...I'll let you know how that goes.

It is the best of all the greek grammars and I knowa lot in greek, french and english. The explanations are clear ; greek language is a very difficult one but this grammar answers all the questions.
