Pimsleur® equals success. Just one 30-minute lesson a day gets you speaking and understanding like no other program. This complete Greek course includes all of Phases 1 and 2 – 30 hours of spoken language practice and two hours of reading instruction. With this product you start from zero, learning first survival phrases and vocabulary, and eventually progressing to a mid-intermediate level of speaking, understanding and reading Greek. Every lesson contains an introductory conversation, and isolated vocabulary and structures, as well as full practice for all vocabulary introduced. Emphasis on pronunciation and comprehension. At the completion of this course, you’ll speak confidently using your wide-ranging vocabulary, and experience the language and culture with a deepening insight into a new world. Reading Lessons are included at the end of Unit 30 for each Phase. These lessons, which total about two hours, are designed to first give you practice sounding out the Greek alphabet, then to progress to reading for meaning. Before you know it, you’ll be reading Greek with the ease and flexibility of a native speaker. A PDF file containing the combined Reading Booklets to be used with the audio lessons is included.
