1.Rapid Greek: 200+ Essential Words and Phrases Anchored into Your Long Term Memory with Great Music: v. 1 (Musical Brain Trainer) by: Earworms Learning July 15, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.69 You Save: £5.30 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.24
I have bought vol 1 and 2 and have found both cd's excellent. Undoubtedly it is a good way of learning particularly if you are an auditory learner-the phrases really do seem to stick in the memory. I like the music although would have prefered some greek tunes for added interest. My only real criticism is about the small book that is included with the cd;the way the Greek has been transliterated is confusing. I have virtually every Greek book on the market as I teach Greek and have never seen Greek transliterated in this way. Another minor criticism for vol 2 is after listening to the cd over and over again the female speaker's giggling gets a little annoying. Overall I would recommend this series to people wanting to ...

3.Learn Greek in 25 Years: A Crash Course for the Linguistically Challenged by: Brian Church December 30, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.00 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.50
Brian was a beacon of hope as I came to terms with life in Athens. Standing there in a crush, in forty-degree heat on a bus leaving Attiki station for home every day, I soon learnt I wasn't the only bemused Brit. Thanks to his humour I soon grew to love the quirks of the place I now consider my second home. This book is great but you could do with being able to read Greek - though that's the best way to learn it anyway! It's not a serious study aid, but it's a good companion.

4.Teach Yourself Beginner's Greek (TY Beginner's Languages) by: Aristarhos Matsukas September 26, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.80
It was with some trepidation that I purchased this book and cd combo. I was never any good at learning foreign languages and so considering that Greek uses a different alphabet to English too, I was half expecting to find the course difficult and frustrating. I also know that there are plenty of "learn at home" courses out there that are just rip offs - a lot of money for not a lot. Well, this was a snip, and has completely changed my attitude towards my own ability to learn a language! This course is absolutely ideal, even if, like me, you are useless with language learning. It has a very clear and consice section at the start on the Greek alphabet and its pronunciation (the Greek alphabet is used throughout, but alongside English translation, ... Read More:

5.Greek Language and People Course Book by: David Hardy October 01, 1983
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
I bought this book after reading previous reviews that suggested it was extremely effective. It might well be if the recordings were available. It states very clearly at the beginning of the book that the 'LP' records that accompanied this series are no longer published. As learning Greek involves learning a completely new alphabet (& there is little transliteration in this book) - it is very hard going indeed. To be honest, I felt rather cheated as there is no mention in the product information that tapes/CDs are not available. Had I known that - I wouldn't have bought this course

7.Linguaphone PDQ Greek (book and 4 CDs) by: M. Buckby 1999-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £29.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £29.49 You Save: £0.46 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £19.49
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 teaches ... Read More:

8.Talk Now! Learn Greek: Essential Words and Phrases for Absolute Beginners from: Eurotalk Ltd 1999-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.39
I bought this CD to help bring my Ancient Greek up to the modern day. It is quite pleasantly presented, although obviously it is fairly low budget stuff. It doesn't teach you the letters or anything like grammar so it is a good idea to have a book to consult in parallel, but it does give you a reasonable basic vocabulary and gives you a good start in listening and speaking. I had problems getting the software to run properly - apparently it is incompatible with the version of Pinnacle Studio I had on my PC (v.8). Their technical support is reasonably helpful, but I could only get the software to work after reinstalling Windows. Now that it's working, it's a nice little package and I think worth what you pay for it. I will probably get the next in the series ... Read More:

9.Greek Phrase Book (Penguin popular reference) by: Nikos Stangos December 31, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
I have been using an old print of this book since I moved to live in Greece. The best point for me is that it uses both the Greek spelling AND a phonetic spelling. You need both when you are learning the language. A really handy little pocket size book. My only negative comment would be that the book has fallen apart at the spine, but hopefully this will have been improved in a new edition.
