5.0 out of 5 stars One awesome phrase book, April 20, 1999

By

This review is from: Modern Greek Idiom and Phrase Book (Paperback)

Modern Greek Idiom And Phrase Book is the best book for learning spoken Greek. The book has tons of weird phrases that even my grandparents have forgotten. It brought a smile to their face to re-encounter all kinds of expressions that are seldomly used along with many useful phrases and words. If you want to learn Greek, buy this book; you'll love it. It even has readings to incorporate what you have learned. The book's split into 3 sections: Everyday Conversations, Idioms & Grammar, and at the end, there's a Greek-English dictionary.

5.0 out of 5 stars How People Actually Speak, June 13, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Modern Greek Idiom and Phrase Book (Paperback)

Greeks use a lot of idioms in everyday speech.
This book has the most common ones. This is not slang and it is not vulgar language. It helped me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a complete course for a beginner, November 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Modern Greek Idiom and Phrase Book (Paperback)

This book covers a wide range of material and is nice for the intermediate to advanced student. For the beginning student, the first 40 pages are valuable as they deal with many everyday situations. The thing about idioms is that you can say what you want without them most of the time. For the price, however, it's not bad to pick up if you're interested.
