'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.
