Greek Philosophy March 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is certainly an incomplete book but, if you bought it as I did for a few Greek words or phrases, it's well worth it. It does give you a flavor for the Greek language too and you might notice trends in the speech. Organization doesn't seem to be its strong point so it's hard to find things in but, even if you find only a few things, it's done something. The book makes absolutely no pretension to teaching you the Greek language.

Excellent phrasebook! May 18, 2007

We are getting married in Greece next summer and this phrasebook has helped me remember so many of the Greek words & phrases that I will need to know. I already know how to speak & read Greek, but this is an excellent refresher. It is a small book that you can take with you everywhere. Definitely recommended.
