A Non-Greek Perspective on Modern Greek Language & Culture
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is excellent for those who have travelled to Greece and wish to learn more about the people & the culture through interaction. It goes beyond a traditional phrase book, and contains very useful phases that other phrase books do not include. Most concern real personal issues that people really want to talk about such as family, beliefs, social issues. The translation of each phrase is phonetic, and is ideal for those who struggle with the Greek alphabet & pronunciation. The author also includes comments concerning culture next to the relevant phrase. A section on cultural subjects at the end of the book is helpful to explain the gestures, comments, & activities that a non-Greek traveller might find strange. I believe it is helpful for anyone interested in interacting with the local people when they travel. for someone interested in learning the language, I woould consider this as a necessary suppliment to a formal language course.
