Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com
It's a petite book, small enough and light enough to sit easily in your hip or jacket pocket without being a burden, yet it covers all the bases, including Boro na se feeleeso? (May I kiss you?), Sas parakalo afeeste me eeseekhee! (Leave me alone, please!), and Yatee yelas? (Why are you laughing?). There's also an introduction to the Greek alphabet, a guide to the pronunciation of Greek letters, a page of basic and essential expressions, and a page to turn to during communication difficulties. And since every English word or phrase is translated into Greek letters as well as their English phonetic equivalents, if your Greek pronunciation isn't up to par, you can always point to the intended line and let the other party read the Greek that asks, "When does the train arrive?"

With chapters on accommodations and eating out, travel and sightseeing, leisure and making friends, shopping and health, there's a phrase for most situations you're likely to find yourself in, and there's an easy reference section on numbers, calendar terms, and greetings, holidays, time, and emergencies, plus an A-to-Z English-Greek dictionary and index, and a Greek-English glossary of common Greek road and airport signs, hotel and restaurant signs, and signs you might encounter in public buildings and tourist sights. There's even a map of Greece in the back. You could lug a five-pound comprehensive dictionary on all your outings, but what you gain in knowing how to say, "Ecru" and "Eclipse," you lose in comfort and convenience, and more often than not, that big dictionary stays in the hotel when you go out. It's far nicer to have a book that's easy to pack and a pleasure to use. --Stephanie Gold

2 out of 5 stars OK, but not great   April 23, 2008
I bought this book when I first came to Greece almost 10 years ago, which is when it published. I'm not Greek, and at that time I didn't understand a single word or even how to read the alphabet, so I couldn't write an informed review about whether it was helpful or not. When I used it in Greece, it seemed that people only understood me half of the time, and I couldn't figure out why. I ended up purchasing another phrase book sold in Athens, and that went much better.

Now that I know Greek, I can say for certain that this book is in need of an update...and badly. Many of the words are uncommon ways of expressing a word and not the way people really communicate with each other, i.e. 'Artopoleio' is an traditional word used for bakery. People will still understand what you mean if you say that, but they'll giggle a little because we all say 'fournos' in modern day Greece. Further, the phrasebook includes Greek for 'shopping mall.' Ten years ago, there was no shopping mall so that entry was useless, and even now there is only one (in Athens, of course). Aside from that, it's difficult to find the right phrase because of the way it's organized.

I understand it's difficult to choose a Greek phrasebook. There aren't that many on the market, Berlitz is a trusted name, and if you don't know Greek, there's no way to know whether it's good or bad. It'll still get you by, there are just others out there that are better.



3 out of 5 stars Greek Phrase book   February 15, 2008
This is split up for types of conversations you need. Not easily looked up unless you study the book.


5 out of 5 stars Very Practical   October 15, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Lots of helpful phrases, expressions and information is this handy little book that fits right into your pocket. Even if you can't always get your tongue around the foreign word or expression, you can point it out to someone to communicate.


5 out of 5 stars Great Travel Book   July 13, 2006

This book will come in very handy for my trip to Greece. The book is easy to follow and use. It's a great guide.


5 out of 5 stars Very good phrasebook for non-Greek speakers   September 5, 2005
 14 out of 15 found this review helpful

This book will help you communicate in Greek very well. The sections are divided up into easy-to-find, color-coded categories (basic expressions, accommodations, eating, travel sightseeing, leisure, making friends, stores & services, health) and include the Greek word, the English translation, and the proper pronunciation. A great reference!
