greek basic course volumes 123.(HTD)pdf

Greek Basic Course, Volume I, provides introductory materials in modern spoken Greek for the student who wishes to achieve a working command of the language currently spoken by educated Greeks. The style is neither entirely demotic (colloquial) nor strictly formal. The Greek orthography is used from the beginning so that the student learns to read what he has learned to say.

Subsequent volumes are planned to carry the student further into the grammar and vocabulary of spoken Greek and to introduce gradually the more formal spoken and written forms known as katharevousa, used on formal occasions by all educated Greeks and commonly encountered in the press. (not any more)
