Review: Common sense, taught in English,buy it. - Really good. Suitable for absolute beginner. I'm using this as the sensible working side of the language, actual conversations and grammar as my Bible. It's written how a tutor would teach, conversational style in English. I supplement this with Duolingo, and ilearngreek website, greek radio and TV website as background. Personally I could not get on with full immersion method eg Rosetta stone..there is no translation aspect. I understand that might be quicker in theory. I prefer to take twice a long, have it explained in English so I "get it", as in this book, have Greek v English anomalies explained and then examples. There is audio accompaniment on the teach yourself library app which is free. This book encourages the discovery method and offers advice from the author an actual real life tutor. That means do things on a way that you can personally remember. So, for example to remember the alphabet I remember it in English: ABY DEZ ETHI KLM NXO PRS TU FHS O. Abbey, Dez, ETHI (names) KLM NAXOS PAROS (easy) TU (clothing) FHS (like NHS) O. This helps me personally. I remember X is then between n and o and phi, chi, psi are together at the end as a group of three... I remember tricky letters by: Zeta is fat (one curve) XI is sexy (two curves) Phi, Chi, Psi as Fee, Hee and Pussee: Fee as in Shoey McFee in Crossroads - showing my age He as in high pitched 'He-Hee' Michael Jackson Pussee and in pussy as Psi looks like a camel toe ( I'm female so this makes me chuckle). I then learned by writing out in Greek multiple times. I found by doing this I can use a dictionary quicker. I did this BEFORE moving on. When I started Duolingo it then helped, Rosetta stone I gave up after the intro..just not for me. The point being THIS book actively encourages and helps you..it even has pointers on how to listen to long gargled sentences in the real world and how to focus on one or two words to get the meaning. And how to ask someone to repeat/expand and how to self accept when you don't get things and how to handle/insert/makeup/blag..all from an highly experienced teacher. So, like me, it actively encourages use to use whatever method you need to to help you "get it" as in above. You don't feel dejected because you can't immediately remember the word for say "insert" , it encourages you to think of a way of remembering it so there is no wrong answer, rather than other apps berating you for not being able to look at a photo and immediately KNOW the word. Again this is all personal preference. I should say I have lived in two foreign countries before, personally I found that learning loads of vocabulary times, colours, directions, household items etc first, translated directly was the easiest way of learning and then going on to learn it "properly". This way you can basically have a conversation by gesticulating and using nouns to start with and make yourself understood. This gets your confidence up and gets you by whilst then, in the background, in private you can study the actual language and grammar. Everyone is then delighted how you progress and you feel huge pride. So I fell, from experience, this book helps you do that. If you are a scholar of language and your goal is to master the language with a very quick learning method and have been brought up with apps and want to have multiple languages on your CV, you might be better with a full immersion method eg Rosetta stone. Personally my goal is to be able to fully understand the principles of the language, the anomalies, and systemally work through principles and be able to translate in real world situations when listening to Greeks talking, at speed. So for me, this common sense book, which does go on to quite an advanced level seems perfect for me. I looked at many books before buying this and feel I've made the right choice.
Review: Lovely book - This is a useful, straightforward book that is easy to go through and stick to. I’ve learned a lot and have come to really love this language. The Teach Yourself Library is superb (and you can download other free things on there and listen to your polyglot heart’s content). My approach has been to work through this text alongside Language Transfer, with fun input from the apps Akelius, Duolingo, and Clozemaster, plus EasyGreek on YouTube and several collections of graded short-story readers I found on this site. But Teach Yourself Greek is the sturdy backbone. I now feel confident about having internalized the language at this stage and look forward to discovering more through comprehensible input on topics that interest me, and eventually — someday — through fiction and poetry. What a pleasure it is to know some Greek.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book
*by E***I on 23 October 2025*

The book seems to be well made with vocabolary, exercises etc. I would be interested to know which book comes after this one (intermediate to advance). It’s a shame the book itself had a couple of marks.
