This 200p, A4 format workbook is the must buy complement for anyone already using the main textbook "Grek Today" by Peter Bien

Each chapter of that workbook does match each chapter of the main coursebook and gives you loads of various exercises, drills, Multiple choice, crosswords, fill in, phrases to translate..
along with some interesting input about Greek actual culture and civilisation.

All the explanations are in English, BUT, do not expect to be able to use that workbook UNTIL you have mastered the Greek alphabet 1st chapter of the main textbook.

Studying Greek only by relying on that workbook is indeed a wate of money and time, as you would not have a clue what the book is talking about .
Like its title does say.
This is only a Workbook (even though a great and user friendly one, I must say) and you do need the main textbook to take full benefits of that excellent study tool .

Very detailed format. I am glad I have someone to help me as some of the lessons are confusing without added instruction. Definitely a book best suited for classroom instruction.

It has no answer key! It would be fine for a very fluent Greek speaker to use with a student, but not for a student alone, or in our case a non-Greek homeschool mom trying to teach her highschooler. The workbook includes a journal entry which is ridiculous. Who journals in a language they are just beginning to learn!

I was looking for a workbook that would be good for beginners. Practice with vocabulary words with pictures and simple phrases. This one had fill in the blanks, but the long sentences were in Greek and the multiple choises for the blanks were in Greek. No pictures, no hints. My boyfriend (Greek) made the comment, "Do they expect all the buyers to have a Greek boyfriend to teach it to them?" Obviously, I should have bought the text book to go with it, but that might have been too advanced as well. I settled on CD's for the car and that's worked out much better.
