Greek for Beginners: A Step-by-Step A1 Modern Greek Workbook for Learning the Alphabet, Essential Grammar and Everyday Conversation

Description

From your first Greek letters to words and sentences you can use.

Greek for Beginners gives English-speaking adults a clear, carefully paced introduction to contemporary Modern Greek. Start with no previous knowledge and work towards introducing yourself, ordering at a café, asking for directions and writing a short message.

Across 10 connected chapters, each new skill builds on what you have already practised. Concise English explanations, useful examples and varied activities help you understand the patterns and begin making them your own.

Inside, you will find:

• A structured introduction to all 24 Greek letters, with uppercase and lowercase models, guided handwriting and independent recall.

• Accessible guidance on pronunciation, common letter combinations, stress, accent marks and final sigma.

• Essential grammar introduced through practical sentences, including articles, noun gender, adjective agreement, useful case patterns and common present-tense verbs.

• Everyday vocabulary for personal details, family, home, routines, food, shopping, directions, transport and simple plans.

• Short dialogues, reading tasks, sentence building, forms and guided writing that connect your learning to familiar situations.

• Cumulative checkpoints, a complete answer key for closed exercises and clearly labelled sample responses for personal writing tasks.

Greek script stays central throughout. Pronunciation hints support your first steps, then gradually give way to reading Greek more independently. Informal and polite forms are explained so you can understand how to address different people.

With 132 full-colour pages, a practical A5 format and dedicated writing space, this workbook is designed for regular, focused study at your own pace. Use it independently or alongside a teacher or Greek-speaking partner.

Whether you are preparing for a trip, reconnecting with family or beginning a language you have always wanted to learn, start building a foundation you can keep using.

Open the book, pick up a pencil and make your first Greek words your own.
