Teach Yourself Beginner's Greek Script (Teach Yourself)

Rating:
Summary: Incredibly helpful
Review: I always found Greek hard to master. The characters are all different and the pronunciation was a nightmare. Then I came across Beginner's Greek Script. For a start it is more than a learning text book. It is full of little asides and anecdoted and it's really a lot of fun to read. It told me a lot about Greek culture which suddenly began to make sense. I'm a long way from being fluent in Greek (if ever - it will probably take ten more years and a tonne of holidays) but I can now make sense of all those funny signs I used to encounter every time I visited the country. What can I say? This has been an incredibly helpful book.
