Summary: Kopella
Comment: I agree that this book may be more for the tourist, however it certainly helped me get going when I first went to Greece to live. There are courses free of charge run by the greek government for non greek speakers and they are superb. This little book helped explain some of the grammar that I couldnt get my head around. ie past tense and why the accent moves on words of three syllables. I used this book as a back up and it gave light relief from the gritty, but excellent government courses. Kali epitychi.

Summary: ISBN for Audio CDs
Comment: The CDs are available separately. This is listed on the page opposite to 'Contents'. For CDs, order ISBN 9780563519775 (0563519770).

Summary: Waste of time and money
Comment: I've been teaching modern Greek for more than 10 years. This course book is not suitable for students who are serious about learning Greek. It's ok for those who, as tourists, want to be able to order a souvlaki in a greek taverna. I would be very suspicious of teachers of modern Greek who make use of this book. Very disappointing. I'd stick with the Communicate in Greek course books instead.

Summary: This is just some exercises -- not a Greek course.
Comment: Groan! After ordering and receiving this product from Amazon, I discover that it's not a Greek course at all -- it's two CDs of exercises for the course book, sold separately.
Nowhere on the Amazon product information page does it say that this is not a Greek course, and even worse, that page is full of reviews of the book, which presumably have ended up on the wrong page altogether.
Let me make this clear -- this is two CDs containing exercises for the coursebook, without which, this product is pretty much useless. You cannot use this product on its own.

Summary: So, So..
Comment: I m sorry to be not that enthusiast or thrilled about that book,but I honestly thought it was a bit a waste of money for any serious Modern Greek learner .
Don t get me wrong, the Book is very well printed, nice format, mainly in white and blue colours.. and is nice to look at
Now, about its content .
It sounds to me much more like a "SOS raft . how to survive in Greece and Cyprus" than a true textbook. Sure, you will learn how to ask for a coffee, book an hotel room, takle a bus to the Acropolis and be able to survive in a Greek speaking surrounding . But, I doubt it very much that you ll be able to get beyond that basic level.This is the kind of book I would take with me on a flight to Greece to quickly try to learn a couple of sentenses before landing.
I would say that, for someone wishing to quickly grasp a basic knowledge of demotiki, immediately useable.. then get that book or the well done "Teach Yourself Greek" by A. Matsukas
But if your goal is to learn Modern Greek to a decent level.. well.. look somewhere else and save your money.
