5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't bite off too much, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Conversational Greek in 7 Days (Paperback)

Not as complete as the Teach Yourself Greek or the Colloquial Greek offerings, but still a solid instructional conversational course. Make sure you get the book/cassette combo, not just the book. Designed to deliver conversational skills. Language books fall into two broad groups: those that teach you phrases and go light on the grammar, and those that endeavor for a working knowledge of the entire language. This book falls into the former category, where it does a good job, but while you may gain some useful knowledge in 7 days, you will not be able to master all the material in the book in that time.

3.0 out of 5 stars 7days - more like 7 weeks!, November 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Conversational Greek in 7 Days (Paperback)

Both my husband and I found this course very hard to follow. The written text does not follow the tape and you find yourself skipping from page to page and getting frustrated.

We did learn enough Greek to get by on our trip, but I would not purchase this again. I would go with another tape/book combo.

This review is from: Conversational Greek in 7 Days (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for someone who wants to know just enough Greek to enjoy a vacation. I purchased this book five weeks before a trip to Greece, and found that I could order from a menu, give directions to a taxi driver, read Greek (could not always understand it), and exchange pleasantries. Now, I would like to refresh with this book, and then find an intermediate course to continue learning such a wonderful language!
