Reference book

Customer Rating:

I am pleased with the book, definitely for the more advanced student. Good for someone who writes/reads Greek already and has a good grasp of the basic sounds and spellings. I have been learning seriously, mostly self-taught at home for a few years. It is perfect for me, plenty of new vocabulary and easy-to read tables. Unusual book, as it is all written and explained in good, fluent English. It is best to know English grammar to read it without a struggle.

A Godsend

Simply put, this book is amazing. Given the horrible lack of decent english-language texts on Modern Greek, I feel this is the best text around to master the nuts and bolts of Greek. My Modern Greek course at McGill University was taught with a Greek text that contained not ONE word of English, so this book filled the holes. Bear in mind it is a bit top-heavy with linguistic terminology (much of which is quite simple once you get the definition on the internet or Wikipedia, etc.) so the book would be better suited for those who are seeking to learn truly fluent and correct greek, as opposed to those hoping to pick up some greek before their summer vacation. All in all, well written, contains all the major verb forms/noun declentions/case structures that a foreigner needs to succeed in Modern Greek.
