Volume 1 has already been useful - my wife, daughter and myself were in Greece a couple of months ago and having even limited skills in the language totally changed the attitude of the locals towards us! Christine (daughter) was a great hit around the town we were staying in as she was the only British child who had any skills at all in the language.

The Rosetta Stone system is pretty good (and goes further) - but for pain free and quick learning of basics of a language at sensible prices, I'm really impressed with the Earworms method!

Volume 2 expands on vol 1 - although it can mostly be used standalone, you'll want some of the parts from Vol 1 - particularly the numbers track.

The strength of this beginning Greek course is in the four audio CDs which can almost be used as a stand alone course for learning while driving the car. They are clearly spoken, interesting, and move the course along at a good pace. Key points are repeated to assist learning, and there are a variety of spoken exercises to assist memorising the vocabulary. The 64 page book which comes with the CDs is colourful with many photographs and breakout sections, but it is not well organised for language learning and can be difficult to follow. It has the text of the main dialogues and vocabulary in Greek and English and some token exercises.


The are two main problems with this course. One is the choice of vocabulary. Linguaphone claim the course ... Read More:

Books : Talk Greek (BBC Talk Short Language Courses) [book and two cassettes]
This introduction to Greek is a gem of a short course which lives up to the claim on the cover: "The ideal course for absolute beginners." It consists of a 128 page book and two cds. The cds are well integrated with the book and the course moves smoothly from one to the other (don't even think about getting the book only - the cds are an integral part of the course and add immeasurably to it). There are lots of short spoken exercises which help with learning and build confidence in speaking. The best way of using the course is carefully explained in the introduction and the page layouts are outstanding - very clear, all the Greek is highlighted and it is very easy to follow. In the first three of the ten units the Greek is supplemented by Roman transcription ... Read More:

9.Beginner's Greek (Teach Yourself) by: Aristarhos Matsukas

Books : Beginner's Greek (Teach Yourself)
It's not made clear in the product description, but this CD is the companion to a book of the same name.

Teach yourself Modern Greek CDs were very thin on the ground when I bought this and I was hoping to get a CD I could listen to as I drove to and from work and pick up enough Greek to flirt with the waitresses on holiday! Unfortunately, the dialogue assumes you have access to the book, so not everything is explained fully and the tracks are fairly long (5 - 10 mins), making rewinding and listening again more laborious than it need be with the CD format.

Having said all this, I seem to be picking up some Greek without the book, so it must be working - and don't think there's anything more suitable on the market at present.

Overall, it seems to be reasonably ... Read More:
