| Modern
Greek Language Books If
you are looking for books to teach yourself Greek from
scratch, please bear in mind that it is extremely difficult
to achieve this without a teacher. We would strongly
recommend you take at least a few lessons to get you
started, if not with us then at evening school or wherever
suits you best. We have heard so many stories of people
who tried to learn a language just from books and tapes
but soon gave up in frustration. A few lessons at the
beginning sets you on the right path. Once you have
grasped how the language works and how it sounds, you
can learn more and more by yourself.
If you live in or
near Manchester, you could start a one-to-one Greek
course with us tomorrow (or whenever you like). Click

to read about our flexible, customised courses.
These books, then,
are recommended as additional resources to accompany
a course of lessons and/or for more advanced study. |
