My experience with Berlitz guides in other languages is very mixed. Berlitz has some of the best teaching guides and they have some of the rest. This travel pack appears to cover some important language situations, but it does not do a good job. A traveler in Greece first needs to conquer the alphabet, and pronounce Greek letters properly. Those of us who learned our Greek pronounciations in an American college fraternity will be shocked to learn the Greeks do not say Beta, they say Veeta, and Phi is pronounced Fee, and so on. Secondly a visitor to Greece should learn how to read the Greek alphabet, so when you see a sign in Greek, or read something (a menu) in Greek, you could begin to translate.

They could reduce the number of expressions and variations on the same message and do it more thoroughly.

Compact. However, for the beginner, would have liked a section in the tape with repetitive single word-at-a-time instruction. Sentences come later

4.0 out of 5 stars Berlitz Greek, December 22, 1999

This is a good guide for learning Greek. It has a simple format, and the c.d. shows exactly how to pronounce words. It was easy to use, and can be used for quick reference.
