THE ALPHABET The Greek alphabet consists of 24 letters. Some are the same as Englishletters, others look the same but represent different sounds, while others areunlike any English letters. The capital and small letters are:

The Greek letters and their combinations represent specific sounds which almost never vary:

VOWEL SOUNDS The vowel sounds include: α a as in atε, αι e as in bedη, ι, υ, �ι, ει ea as in seat�, ω o as in hot�υ oo as in choose

CONSONANT SOUNDS The consonant sounds are grouped according to their pronunciation:1 pronounced with the lips: π p as in pot

v as in vat� f as in farμπ b as in bar

2 pronounced with the teeth: τ t as in tentδ th as in theθ th as in thinντ d as in door

3 pronounced with the throat: κ k as in keyγ similar to w as in wood� strong h as in Scottish lochγκ, γγ g as in good

4 pronounced with the nose: μ m as in manν n as in not

5 pronounced with the tongue: λ l as in likeρ strong r as in Scottish rose

6 producing a hissing sound: σ s as in set� z as in zeroτσ ts as in let’sτ� tz as in heads

7 as 2 separate consonants: � ks or x as in licks or axeψ ps as in lipstick

Double consonants, apart from γγ, are pronounced as if they were only one.Practise pronouncing the individual letters many times, particularly theconsonants γ and �, which may present some difficulty.

STRESS The stress on the word is indicated by the tonic accent ( ΄) marked on thevowel of the stressed syllable, but is not marked on capital letters or on one-syllable words. So, it will be easy for you to pronounce any written wordcorrectly.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

In unit 1 you can take your first steps in learning Greek. From unit 2 onwards, you’ll find that the structure of each unitis consistent. Each of the units has four parts:

Part A is presented by Niko Kazakos and Maria Nikolaou, and gives you the KEY LANGUAGE ofthe unit.

Part B gives you the chance to hear Niko using the language in real-life situations in Athens.Youwill learn to use this language yourself.

Part C reminds you of the KEY LANGUAGE.Then you get the chance to use it and have thesatisfaction of realising that you can cope.

Part D reveals the outcome of the story you heard in part B.You should be able to understandthis without any help – although help is there if you need it.

The main activities you will do to achieve efficient learning are summarised below:

1 work with the book;

2 listen to the recording;

3 stop the recording to repeat or think;

4 use the book and recording together.

SYMBOLS There are four symbols used in this book:

the question mark indicates that you’ll find solutions at the end of the unit;

2.10 section numbers that appear in grey indicate that all the information for this activity is onthe English page (i.e. the left-hand page);

the book indicates an activity which uses only the book and not the recording;

indicates track number for an activity.

USING THE COURSE In each unit, the most effective way to learn is to start by working on the book and therecording together.You can then use your eyes and your ears to help you to understandand learn.The book and the recording will take you step by step through the unit.You’llsee that the English advice and explanations are always on the left-hand page, and theGreek they refer to is always on the right-hand page.

When you feel confident with the language, you can work with just the recording. Listento it as often as you can – in the car, on the train, while doing thehousework, for example.This repeated playing will help you to learnthe language and to become really confident and fluent. Sometimesyou can listen very carefully and repeat what you hear.At other times

you can just have it in the background while you relax or do something else.All this willhelp you to progress quickly in the fast lane to learning Greek.

The first step in understanding written Greek is to study the Greek alphabet on theopposite page and the sets of letters with the sounds they represent.You will soon feel itisn’t all Greek to you!

1.4 ΣTPATHΓHKH EKMAΘHΣHΣ

Welcome to unit 1 which will give you a taste of the course.You may be very pleasantly surprised by how much youcan understand.

PART A: KEY LANGUAGE

1.1 NIKO AND MARIA Each unit is introduced by Niko and Maria.They guide you through the KEY LANGUAGE.You will also hear it being used by Maria, Niko and the people he meets in Athens.In this unit you will learn how to:

– say hello (or goodbye);– say what your name is;– understand many useful Greek words and pronounce them the Greek way.

1.2 KEY LANGUAGE In each unit, you’ll be presented with the KEY LANGUAGE. Here it is for unit 1.

Hello! My name’s Niko (they call me Niko). Hello! My name’s Maria (they call me Maria). Hello, Niko! Hello, Maria!

The Greek phrase Γεια σας literally means health to you (cheers), but can equally beused as a general term for hello and goodbye. Γεια σας (plural) is normally used as agreeting to many people or people we don’t know well.The informal Γεια σ#υ is usedto greet friends, or children, or together with the first name. Greek names areintroduced with the definite article # (male) or η (female), and male names take a final -ς.When used in greetings, however, the article is not used and the final -ς of a malename is dropped.Look at the Greek and make sure that you know what each sentence means.Then followeach sentence in the book as you listen to it. Do this several times until you feelconfident with the sentences.Then play them again and repeat after each sentence.Whenthis seems easy, try saying each sentence together with each speaker, imitating the speedand the accent.This is an excellent learning technique which you can use throughout the course. It canbe summarised as:(i) read and listen;(ii) read, listen and repeat after the Greek speakers;(iii) read, listen and repeat with the Greek speakers.

PART B: LANGUAGE IN ACTION

1.3 OVER TO YOU Now you can use the language you have learned from the recording. Look at the photosof people (α-δ), and the KEY LANGUAGE on the page opposite and decide what eachperson would say to introduce himself/herself.You’re given an example (Παράδειγμα)in Greek. How would YOU greet Maria and introduce yourself (ε)?

1.4 LEARNING STRATEGIES Though they don’t look the same, lots of Greek words are pronounced similarly toEnglish ones (though they may be stressed differently), e.g. ένα τα�ί, ένα τρέν#, ένατηλέ/ων#, ένα θέατρ#. Recognising them can often give the key to the meaning ofa whole phrase or sentence: – you don’t need to know every word you see or hear tounderstand the message. Choosing from the Greek words given above, decide how eachof the photos of places on the page opposite should be labelled.Listen to how these words are said, and repeat each one several times.

1.5 VOCABULARY You already understand a lot of Greek words, and you can prove it. Cover up the Englishwords below and look at the list of Greek words on the page opposite.Tick all those youknow, can work out, or guess.Then check with the list on this page, and learn those youdidn’t know.You could copy them and their English equivalents into a notebook (the veryact of writing them down will help you to learn them) and carry it around with you,learning a few words whenever you have a spare moment. In each unit, you’ll be given auseful hint about how to learn words. Use techniques which work for you whenever youtry to learn new words and phrases.

1 παρακαλώ is the Greek word for please but is also used as a reply when someone says ευ�αριστώ.2 μάλιστα is the polite word for yes, while ναι is a more casual word meaning the same.

1.6 You can now read and listen to some useful dialogues from later units.This will give youjust a taste of what you will learn. On the page opposite is a transcript of these extracts.This is the English equivalent.

PART C: TEST YOURSELF

1.7 Now that you can understand all the language you’ve met, practise saying it. Listen to therecording again as you look at the Greek text. Repeat each sentence after and then withthe speakers, until you’re sure you’ve learned it and that you can say it with a goodaccent.Then try adapting some of the sentences you’ve learned, using other words youknow, in order to say different things. How would you say:

α Intercontinental Hotel, please; Hello,… (the name of the person you’re speaking to);γ My name’s… (your name);δ Hello, Mr Economou.Now that you have worked on the book and the recording, help yourself to learn thelanguage really well by working on the recording whenever and wherever you can.

UNIT 2 ENOTHTA 2ΠΑΡΑΚΑΛΩ!PPLLEEAASSEE!!

Συγνώμη! Μάλιστα, κύριε;Έναν κα"έ, παρακαλώ. %ρίστε. Σας ευ�αριστώ.(Στ�) &εν�δ��εί� *ίλτ�ν, παρακαλώ.Στ� Εκθεσιακ- Κέντρ�, παρακαλώ.


2.1 WELCOME TO ATHENS! Your teacher, Niko, arrives in Athens by train.At the station, he records some usefullanguage for us. First, Costas Vasiliou, a business manager, is welcomed by Melina Karra,his company representative.Then Niko takes a taxi to his hotel.

In this unit you can learn how to:– say hello and goodbye, please and thank you;– attract people’s attention;– and, above all, make the most of a small amount of language.

There’s no magic wand to enable you to speak fluent Greek overnight. Goodwill isimportant, though.As you listen to Niko in Athens, you’ll find that a smile and the wordplease! will help you through a variety of situations.And note that in Greece manypeople will want to be on first-name terms with you quite soon.

2.2 KEY LANGUAGE Hello!*Thank you (thanks)!**Goodbye!***

Excuse me! Yes, sir? A (or one) coffee, please. There you are. Thank you. **(To the) Hilton Hotel, please. To the Trade Fair Centre, please.* Besides Γεια σας! you can also say Καλημέρα!, *αίρετε! or Καλησπέρα!, depending on the time ofday, to mean Good morning!, Good afternoon! or Good evening! respectively.** Ευ�αριστώ can be extended to Σας ευ�αριστώ.*** Sometimes Γεια σας! or Γεια! is used instead.

Try to learn the Greek phrases, then cover up the English KEY LANGUAGE on this page.Looking at the page opposite, see how much of the English you can remember, thencover up the Greek phrases and do it in reverse.

LEARNING STRATEGIES Remember to work through every section with the book and recording as many times asyou need in order to feel comfortable with the language. In unit 1, you learned thesequence: read and listen, then repeat after, and then repeat with, the Greek speakers.Now add another step.When you have repeated after and with the Greek speakers, tryto keep the language in your mind while you do something else.Then try saying thesentences again, gradually increasing the time gap. In this way, the KEY LANGUAGE willbecome part of your long-term memory – you will have learned it! So, this strategy canbe summed up as:

(i) read and listen;(ii) repeat after the speakers;(iii) repeat with the speakers;(iv) repeat without an immediate model.

Practise doing this sequence with the key Greek sentences in 2.2 opposite.Then testyourself: when you hear the Greek for the following, repeat it:α) Excuse me! �) A coffee, please. γ) The Park Hotel, please. δ) Thank you.

2.5 ΛE�IΛOΓIO

2.6 ΠPOBΛEΠONTAΣ

2.3 OVER TO YOU You can now put your Greek into practice. Look at the photos on the opposite page,and:

α say you’d like a coffee;� ask to be taken to the Intercontinental Hotel;γ ask to be taken to the Trade Fair Centre.

2.4 STRATEGIES It’s a good idea to train yourself to listen and to read, in a positive way, picking out thewords that carry the message, and ignoring what is less important.What message isconveyed in the three examples on the opposite page?

2.5 VOCABULARY You’ll understand better if you anticipate the words you expect to hear in a particularsituation, and learn them. In this unit, you will hear Niko in the station café, at the kiosk,taking a taxi, and arriving at the hotel. Look at the list of words below and tick any thatyou expect to hear in Greek in these situations. First, learn the Greek for all the wordsyou ticked, and then listen to the recording. One good technique is to concentrate on aword and to try to ‘photograph’ it in your mind.Then cover it up and write it down frommemory. Do this with all the words, and then with four or five at a time.You can use thistechnique again if you find it useful. (The words in these lists are always given in theorder in which you hear them.)

A useful way of dealing with any words or phrases you find difficult to remember is tocopy them out with their English meanings on a slip of paper, and carry it about with you.Use any spare moments to revise them – in a bus, for example, or even while waiting foryour morning coffee!

2.6 THINKING AHEAD You will find it easier to understand people if you think in advance about what they arelikely to say in certain situations. So, when Niko asks for a cup of coffee at the stationcafé, you already know that he’s unlikely to say I’d like you to bring me a cup ofcoffee, please, but rather A coffee, please. Note down in English similar phrases youmight hear or need in the following situations:

a at a street kiosk (e.g. A bar of chocolate, please.);b arriving at the hotel;c ordering something in a restaurant.

Note particularly the pronunciation of ευ in the word ευ�αριστώ (roughlypronounced as ef).The combinations ευ and αυ (as in the word αυτ- you saw in unit 1)are pronounced as ef and af respectively when followed by θ, κ, π, σ, τ, " and �.Whenfollowed by another letter, they are pronounced as ev and av respectively (e.g. Ευρώ,Euro).

2.7 NOW I UNDERSTAND To ask for a coffee, to ask to be driven to the Hilton Hotel, and to ask for the restaurant,Niko simply says what he wants, and adds please (Έναν κα"έ, παρακαλώ.).Asyou listen, note down in English ten other instances you hear of the same strategy beingused.The photos on the opposite page give you some clues. Replay the story as often asyou need to.

2.8 GOT IT? When you arrive at a station or hotel in Greece, you will see lots of signs, e.g.ΕΦΗΜΕΡΙΔΕΣ (Newspapers).You will understand other signs more easily.

2.11 GRAMMAR A noun is a word used to name a person, a place or a thing (e.g. Νίκ�ς, Αθήνα,τηλέ"ων�). Some nouns in Greek are masculine, some are feminine, and some areneuter.The word for the for a masculine noun is �, but it becomes τ�ν or τ� when youask for someone or something (e.g. τ�ν Καθηγητή %ικ�ν-μ�υ). For a femininenoun it’s η, but it becomes την or τη when you ask for someone or something (e.g.την κυρία Καρρά) and for a neuter noun it’s τ� (e.g. τ� Lεν�δ��εί�). It’s not easyto tell whether a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter, although you can sometimes tellfrom the ending.When σε (to, at or in) is used with a noun, τ�ν (or τ�) change toστ�ν (or στ�), την (or τη) to στην (or στη) and τ� becomes στ�.The word for a/an, when asking for something, for a masculine noun is έναν (e.g. ένανκα"έ), for a feminine noun it’s μια or μία (e.g. μια κ-κα-κ-λα) and for a neuternoun it’s ένα (e.g. ένα ταLί).As you go on, you’ll learn a few other forms of the wordsfor the and a. Don’t worry if you get the endings wrong. Even if the Greeks notice, they’llunderstand what you’re saying.

Masculine Feminine Neuter

The � or τ�(ν) η or τη(ν) τ� To/at/in + the στ�(ν) στη(ν) στ� A/an έναν μια/μία ένα

Look at the nouns on the opposite page. Copy them out, adding έναν, μια or ένα infront, and παρακαλώ after, to show how you would ask for each thing.

2.12 LISTEN AGAIN Each time you hear someone say ..., παρακαλώ!, repeat the whole sentence two orthree times in the pause that follows.

PART C:TEST YOURSELF Practise using what you’ve learned. Play the recording through once or twice until you’recomfortable with the language.Then play it again, and repeat what you hear.

2.13 In the dialogue on the opposite page, you see how you can develop the bare formula ..., παρακαλώ! into a more lengthy exchange, simply by adding other phrases fromthe KEY LANGUAGE of this unit. Make up a similar dialogue in a café. Start by attracting theattention of the waiter and ask for a coke and a sandwich.Then ask for the telephone.Look at the solution.Your dialogue may not be identical, but it could still be correct.

PART D:THE END OF THE STORY

2.14 THIS IS THE ENGLISH VERSION OF PART D.THE TRANSCRIPT IS ON THE PAGE OPPOSITE.

3.1 NIKO DOES SOME With Anna, from the Tourist Office, as his guide, Niko looks round the city of INTERVIEWING Athens, where he interviews some people to record some useful conversations for us.

In this unit you can learn how to:– introduce yourself;– say what nationality you are;– say where you live;– ask people about themselves.

If you go to Greece, you’ll be asked your name in all kinds of situations: checking into ahotel, for example, or hiring a car, not to mention those occasions when people just wantto be friendly. Note down other situations in which it might be useful to give your nameand nationality, and say where you live, as well as to ask others for this information.

3.2 KEY LANGUAGE Hello. Pleased (to meet you).

What’s your name, please?*My name’s Niko Kazakos. My name’s Maria Nikolaou.

Are you Greek? Yes, I’m Greek.**Are you Greek? Yes, I’m Greek.**

Do you live in Athens? Yes, I live in Athens.Yes, here in Athens.No, I live in Paris.

* Besides Πώς σας λένε; you can also hear Π�ι� είναι τ� -ν�μά σας; or simply Τ� -ν�μά σας;.** Ναι is the casual word for yes (see also unit 1); ένας Έλληνας is a Greek man or boy, and μιαΕλληνίδα is a Greek woman or girl.

Knowing one or two words can help you to understand others in a sentence. Cover upthis page and look at the page opposite: note down the Greek for My name’s NikoKazakos. and Do you live in Athens?

LEARNING STRATEGY Here’s another technique to help you learn these key sentences.Try to ‘photograph’ eachin turn, in your mind.Then look at them again and write just the first and last words ofeach sentence.After a few minutes try to complete the sentences.You could carry thepiece of paper with the first and last words around with you for a few days and practisecompleting the sentences whenever you have a minute or two free.

3.3 OVER TO YOU You’re now able to ask questions yourself. Look at the answers opposite, and the KEY

LANGUAGE.Write the questions in Greek that you would need to ask to get thisinformation.

3.4 STRATEGIES Learning one Greek word can enable you to recognise others. Look at the oppositepage: you haven’t come across the words in bold yet, but you can work out theirmeaning.When you meet new words, try to understand them, by using the context,similarity with English and Greek words you know, etc.

3.5 VOCABULARY One way to learn new vocabulary is to ‘photograph’ in your mind each Greek word orphrase in turn: look at it for a few seconds, look away, and write down what youremember. Check by looking at the list again.

1 Before a vowel sound και (and) becomes κι.2 Μένω can mean either I stay/I’m staying or I live/I’m living, while μένετε can mean either youstay/you’re staying or you live/you’re living.

3.6 THINKING AHEAD As you know, anticipating what you might hear can help your understanding.You alreadyknow that this unit is about saying what your name is, giving your nationality, and sayingwhere you live.Which words and phrases on the opposite page might you expect to hearon the recording? Underline them.Then listen to the recording and see how many youworked out correctly.


3.7 NOW I UNDERSTAND In order to make sure that you understand all the main points of the story, try to answerthe following questions as you listen. Don’t worry if you can’t answer a particularquestion. Just replay the story and try again.The photos on the opposite page will giveyou some clues.

a Where does Anna work? b What does Anna’s colleague ask Niko on the phone? c As what does Niko describe Anna to us? d What nationality are (i) Anna? (ii) her father? (iii) her mother? e What 2 places does Anna point out? f Where does Niko live? g Where does the first interviewee live? h What’s her nationality? i What’s the nationality of the second interviewee?

3.8 GOT IT? It’s important to train yourself to listen carefully to what is being said, if yourunderstanding is to be precise. Listen to the conversations again, and underline the wordsand phrases on the page opposite that you hear (e.g. καλώς ήλθατε).Listen to the dialogues again and, looking at the Greek text, notice how the tonic accentindicates the stressed syllable. Notice that one-syllable words don’t take a tonic accent,except question words π�ύ and πώς, while some words can take two tonic accents –when pronounced together with the following word, e.g. τ� -ν�μά σας.

Now listen to the story again. Notice that, in order to ask a question in Greek, we simply raise our voice, while inwriting we use a question mark which looks like an English semi-colon (;).


1 The title κυρία can mean both Mrs and Ms. 2 I emphatic

3.10 PRACTISE To help you learn any of these conversations, just listen to the recording while you followthe Greek text. Repeat after and then with the speakers.Then look at the English versionand, with that as a prompt, try to say the conversation in Greek.

3.11 GRAMMAR A verb is a word that describes an action (e.g. I live) or a state (e.g. I am). In Greek, thepart of an active verb that goes with εγώ (I) nearly always ends in –ω (e.g. μένω, Ilive).The part of a verb describing a state that goes with εγώ nearly always ends in–μαι (e.g. είμαι, I am).With εσείς (polite or plural you), the active verb ends in–(ε)τε (e.g. μένετε, you live), while a state verb ends in –(ε)στε (e.g. είστε, youare). However, the pronouns εγώ, εσείς (I, you) etc. are not normally used togetherwith a Greek verb, except when we want to give emphasis.

You are talking to a new Greek acquaintance, who gives you the three answers opposite.What questions did you ask him?

γ No. I live in Piraeus.

PART C:TEST YOURSELF It would be a good idea to revise the unit so far before going on.Then listen to therecording and complete in the pauses the sentences you hear.You could do this yourselfto help you learn: just replay the recording, pause it occasionally in mid-sentence and tryto complete the sentence.

3.13 In column A on the opposite page you will find a conversation between Costa Kapsis, aninhabitant of Athens, and Signora Tossi, a visitor from Italy.What techniques do they useto make sure that they have heard and understood each other properly?

4.1 NIKO AND THE PROFESSOR Niko goes to the university of Athens to meet Professor Economou, an expert incommunication in Greek. Niko discovers that people like talking about their families.

In this unit you can learn how to:– start up conversations;– talk about some members of your family;– give their names and say how old they are.

It’s useful to be able to break the ice when you first meet people. Note down examplesof situations when you might want to do this (at a conference, for example). One way ofbreaking the ice is to talk about your family, or the weather.

4.2 KEY LANGUAGE Are you married? Yes, I’m married. (for a man)Are you married? Yes, I’m married. (for a woman)

That’s my wife, Despina. That’s my husband, Yiorgo. That’s my son, Andreas. That’s my daughter, Maria.

How old’s your son? How old’s your daughter?My son’s fifteen years old. He’s fifteen.My daughter is seventeen years old. She’s seventeen.

Nice weather, isn’t it?* Yes, very nice.Nasty weather, isn’t it?* Yes, verynasty.

* έτσι δεν είναι; (literally isn’t it so?) is a useful phrase.It corresponds to many expressions, such as isn’t it?, don’twe?, haven’t they?, etc. Sometimes it’s shortened to justέτσι;.

You must always remember that Greek namesare normally used with the article � or η.To helpyou learn the KEY LANGUAGE, draw a ‘word sun’:write a word or phrase relating to the family atthe end of each ‘ray’. Learn them by heart.Thencover them up, and try to re-create the ‘wordsun’ from memory. Check with the original.

Go through the sequence as with unit 2. Practisethe KEY LANGUAGE.When you hear Maria ask Nikoabout the ages of his children, use the KEY

LANGUAGE to work out what answers he will give, and respond in the pause.

4.3 OVER TO YOU Imagine that you’ve just met some Greek people on the train, and you’d like to break theice and chat with them. Decide what you could say in Greek about some members ofyour ‘family’. Use the KEY LANGUAGE if necessary.Then imagine the conversation on thetrain. It could begin, for example:– Ωραί�ς καιρ�ς, έτσι δεν είναι;– Ναι, ωραί�ς. Η �ικ�γένειά σας…;

4.4 STRATEGIES You can see opposite some photos which Professor Economou uses to teach bodylanguage: people use gestures, facial expressions and mimes in order to reinforce whatthey are trying to say. Listen to the words, then look at the list below and guess whichword the person in the photos is trying to convey.You’ll find that you yourself caninterpret and use gestures and facial expressions to understand what people say to youand to help get your message over.

tall (ψηλ�ς, ψηλή) short (κ�ντ�ς, κ�ντή)a lot (π�λύ) a little (λίγ�)sad (λυπημέν�ς, λυπημένη) interesting (ενδια-έρ�ν)

4.5 VOCABULARY As usual, these words are presented in the order in which they occur on the recording.Besides noting down the ones you want to learn in a simple list, you may find it helps youto remember them if you group them according to categories. In this unit, for example,you could list together words for members of the family, or numbers. Can you find anyother ways to group two or more of the words from the list below and from the KEY

LANGUAGE (e.g. ωραία, ψηλ�ς)?

1 Possessives μ�υ, my and σας, your (plural or polite), are always used after the word they refer to (e.g. ηγυναίκα μ�υ, my wife). Note the two tonic accents on η �ικ�γένειά μ�υ.

On the opposite page there’s a panel with Greek numbers.You can also hear them onthe recording after unit 2.

4.6 LOOKING AHEAD Anticipating what you might expect to hear can help you to understand it when it comesalong. On the opposite page are some incomplete lines from the conversations in thisunit. Complete each sentence by supplying a suitable word.

5.1 NIKO HAS PROBLEMS Niko receives an invitation to lunch, but discovers he’s got more than one problem whenhe tries to find the way.

In this unit you can learn how to:– ask whether certain facilities are nearby;– ask the way;– understand what people say in reply.

When you see signs such as /εν�δ��εί�, ΤΑ/Ι and Θέατρ�, you know what toexpect; if they’re also accompanied by arrows then you’ll have no difficulty in findingthem. But sometimes you’ll have to ask whether something you want is nearby, andunderstand what people tell you in reply.

5.2 KEY LANGUAGE Is there a bus stop near here, please?Go straight on. The bus stop’s on your right.

Excuse me. How do I get to Herodus Atticus Street, please?*Take the first road on the left. (Turn into the first road on the left.)Take the second road on the right. (Turn into the second road on the right.)

Excuse me.** Is there a flower shop near here?* Herodus Atticus Street is a main road in the centre of Athens, named after an Athenian orator andphilosopher (AD 101–177).The President has his residence there and it leads directly to the PanatheneumStadium, where the first Modern Olympic Games were held in 1896. Streets in Greece are commonly namedafter famous people, dates, events and important buildings.** Another way to say excuse me! or pardon me.

To learn these words, you could play ‘Associations’.Write down one Greek word andjoin it to another word which it makes you think of, and so on.Example: �δ�ς (street) – λεω��ρεί� (bus) – στάση (stop) ...

LEARNING STRATEGY To help you learn these phrases, you could also look at the Greek and write the firstletter only of each word. Do something else for a few minutes, and then try to write thesentences in full, using the first letters as a prompt. For more effective learning increasethe time gap.

5.3 OVER TO YOU You can already begin to ask your way now, and give directions. Look at the illustrationsopposite, and choose phrases from the KEY LANGUAGE on the opposite page.

α Ask if there is a bus stop nearby.� Ask how to get to Herodus Atticus Street.γ Say ‘Take the first road on the left’.δ Say ‘The bus stop is on your right’.

5.5 VOCABULARY When you’ve spent some time studying the new words, test yourself by covering up thispage, and trying to recall the English for the words on the opposite page.You’ll find thateach time you go through the list there are fewer words you don’t know.

5.6 LOOKING AHEAD Associating words with each other, and with specific contexts, will help you tounderstand them, to remember them, and to be able to use them.As you study the newvocabulary, note down some groups of words and any situations or topics ofconversation, that suggest themselves to you. Listen to the recording and check to seehow many situations and words you predicted.

5.10 PRACTISE One good way of finding out whetheryou’ve understood what people say toyou is to repeat what you think you’veheard, thus giving them a chance to check that you’ve got it right.When youhear the second passer-by telling Niko how to get to the bus stop, stop the recording,and repeat the directions, as if you were Niko.

5.11 GRAMMAR Names of streets in Greece are always in the genitive (possessive) form, e.g. �δ�ςΗρώδ�υ Αττικ�ύ. Some family names are also in the genitive form, e.g.�ικ�ν�μ�υ.The genitive form of a noun, adjective or pronoun is shown by a change inthe ending, as well as a change in the article.The articles � (masculine) and τ�(neuter), become τ�υ in the genitive, while the endings of nouns and adjectives changefrom –�ς or –ης (masculine) to –�υ or –η respectively (e.g. � Νίκ�ς – τ�υΝίκ�υ), and from –� (neuter) to –�υ (e.g. τ� λεω��ρεί� –– τ�υ λεω��ρεί�υ).

The article η (feminine), becomes της in the genitive.The endings of feminine nouns,adjectives and pronouns change from –α or –η to –ας or –ης respectively (e.g. ηΜαρία – της Μαρίας).

Look at the nouns on the opposite page and note down their genitive form.

5.12 LISTEN AGAIN Replay the story. Each time you hear the Greek for one of the following phrases, repeatwhat you heard during the pause.

α Excuse me. How do I get to Herodus Atticus Street? � Sorry, I’m not from here.γ Take the first road on the left.δ Do you know Herodus Atticus Street?

Three of these phrases are being spoken in the photos opposite.Which ones? Can youwrite the Greek captions for these photos?

PART C:TEST YOURSELF When you listen again, you’ll have the chance to explain the way to Niko. Listen severaltimes until you feel completely comfortable with the dialogue.You can use it as the basisfor other ones, simply by inserting new words.Try this out by asking if there is arestaurant nearby; you are told to go straight on and then take the second street on theright; the restaurant is on your left.

5.13 You’re on a business trip to Greece, and you’re looking for:

α a hotel; � a restaurant; γ a flower shop.

The sketch maps on the opposite page show you where they all are. Make up appropriatedialogues. Begin by saying in Greek ‘Is there a ...?’


5.14 THIS IS THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE TRANSCRIPT ON THE PAGE OPPOSITE.

6.1 NIKO AT THE ECONOMOUS’ Professor Economou talks to Niko about his flat, and says where he’d like to live.ThenProfessor Economou, Caterina, his wife, and Niko go to a tavern for lunch.

In this unit you can learn how to:– ask and talk about a house or flat;– say what rooms there are;– say whether you like it.

A useful point of contact can be made by talking about homes, and about the differencesor similarities between Great Britain and Greece. Owning a house has been considered anormal ambition by most Greek people.They can now buy a house more easily byobtaining loans from banks, at a privileged interest rate. However, most Greek families livein flats – which are usually rented – rather than individual houses, especially in big cities.

6.2 KEY LANGUAGE We’ve got a house/a flat.We rent a flat in Athens.

How many rooms are there (has it got)? There’s (it’s got) a kitchen, a dining room, a living room. There are (it’s got) three bedrooms.

The house is(n’t) comfortable.*The flat is(n’t) modern.*It’s big/small.It’s expensive.It is(n’t) far from the city centre.*

Have you got a garden? Yes, we’ve got a garden. Have you got a garage? No, we haven’t got a garage.

Do you like the flat? * The negative form of a verb is simply made by adding δεν before it. It regularly becomes δε in front ofcertain consonants (�, γ, δ, �, θ, λ, μ, ν, ρ, σ, &, �). Similarly, τ�ν, στ�ν, την, στην become τ�, στ�, τη,στη in front of the same consonants (unit 2).

STRATEGY Draw a plan of a house or flat, and label the rooms with words from the KEY LANGUAGE.You can also add ένα μπάνι� (a bathroom) or μία τ�υαλέτα (a toilet) and έναγρα&εί� (a study).Test yourself to be sure that you know the KEY LANGUAGE. Listen tothe recording and say the Greek for:

α a flat;

� it’s big;

γ it’s expensive;

δ how many rooms are there?

ε there’s a dining room and a living room;

στ there are three bedrooms;

� it’s comfortable;

η yes, we’ve got a garden;

θ have you got a garage?

ι do you like the flat?

UNIT 6 ENOTHTA 6

6.3 OVER TO YOU Now try out what you’ve already learned in this unit.You have a Greek visitor to yourhome. Look at the illustration on the opposite page, and answer his questions.

6.4 STRATEGIES A useful way of getting round the difficulty of not knowing a particular word is toparaphrase it. For example, instead of ‘bedroom’, you could say ‘the room where yousleep’ (you could reinforce it with an appropriate gesture, inclining your head onto yourfolded hands, for example). On the opposite page, you’ll find in column A the Greek for

α The room where you cook.

� The room where you watch TV.

γ The room where you wash.

δ The room where you eat.

Which room in column B are you describing in column A?

6.5 VOCABULARY One good way to learn vocabulary and KEY LANGUAGE is to make some cards about thesize of a credit card. On one side write the English, and on the other side the Greekequivalent. Carry these cards with you and test yourself whenever you can by looking atone side of the cards, trying to say what is on the other side and then checking.

* The expression μ�υ αρέσει literally means it pleases me, and is used for one object only. By using any ofthe possessives you learned in unit 4, you can say what pleases anyone (e.g. σ�υ αρέσει, you like, τ�υαρέσει, he likes, μας αρέσει, we like, etc.).When you like many things, then the expression becomes μ�υαρέσ�υν, e.g. μ�υ αρέσ�υν τα παιδιά σας, I like your children or your children please me.

** A τα�έρνα is a very popular place for eating in Greece, rather informal compared with a restaurant,offering a variety of carefully prepared and traditionally cooked foods and house wine.

6.6 LOOKING AHEAD You already know from its title that this unit is about discussing your house, or flat.Prepare for the dialogues by underlining the words and phrases in 6.6 opposite whichyou might expect to hear in the story.After you’ve listened to the recording, checkwhether you underlined the right words.

6.10 PRACTISE Copy the Greek lines of the dialogue in the tavern onto separate slips of paper. Mix themup. Replay the scene, and as you listen, re-arrange the slips in the right order.Then do itagain, but without listening to the recording. Check your version against the transcript.

6.11 GRAMMAR An adjective is a word which describes a noun, e.g. μεγάλ� (big). The commonestending for the neuter form of an adjective is –�. In unit 4 you met the commonestendings for the masculine and feminine forms of adjectives (–�ς and –η, as in ψηλ�ςand ψηλή, tall).Write the ending of the adjectives on the opposite page, according tothe gender of the noun.The articles (� or ένας/έναν masculine, η or μία feminine,τ� or ένα neuter) will help you.

6.12 LISTEN AGAIN Replay the story.When you hear the Greek for each of the following sentences, repeat itduring the pause.

α ... but it’s comfortable.� Do you rent it? γ So you’ve got no garage? δ Ah, here’s my wife.ε Prices are high in Athens, are they? στ Far from the noise and the pollution.

PART C:TEST YOURSELF Putting what you’ve learned to work, you’ll find that you can understand what people say,even if you do miss the odd word, on a bad telephone line, for example, or because of anunexpected noise.

Before listening to the extracts again, note down the missing words in the lines ofdialogue opposite.

6.13 You are describing your home to a Greek-speaking friend.You have a small flat. It’smodern, and comfortable. It’s in Patras, near the town centre, where flats are veryexpensive.You have a kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom.You don’thave a garage.Write down your answers to his questions.


6.14 THIS IS THE ENGLISH VERSION OF THE TRANSCRIPT ON THE PAGE OPPOSITE.

Niko has returned to the Economous’ flat where they continue their conversation.

Prof Economou Ah…! Herodus Atticus Street…Caterina Well, our flat is comfortable…

Niko Very comfortable! Prof Economou Fairly big…

Caterina And it’s near the city centre!Prof Economou But it’s expensive…

7.3 Η ΣEIPA ΣAΣ


7.1 NEW TECHNOLOGY At a conference, Niko interviews some delegates about the regions where they live. Hemeets Eleni and Antoni.

In this unit you can learn how to:– say what region you live in;– tell people what there is to see there;– give an opinion of it.

An important part of making business and personal contacts is socialising. Talking aboutyourself and your family, your home and where you come from, can establish usefulcommon ground. It’s also interesting to find out about the rich variety of regions inGreece, from the classic splendour of Athens to the unrivalled beauty of the sunnycoastline; and from the cosmopolitan bustle of popular islands to the relaxed atmosphereand calmness of the Greek countryside and picturesque villages.

7.2 KEY LANGUAGE What’s the region like? It’s (not) a very beautiful region.

It’s (not) a big town.It’s (not) a picturesque town.It’s (not) a historical town. It’s (not) an industrial town.

And the surrounding area/the area around Nafplio is fantastic.I think it’s the most beautiful area in the South.

Where are you (ppoolliittee//ffrriieennddllyy) from? (I’m) from Kavala. Do you (ppoolliittee//ffrriieennddllyy) know Kavala?

What is there to see (can one see) in the region? There’s a mountain/a forest/a river/a lake/a castle/an ancient theatre.There are mountains/forests/rivers/lakes/castles/ancient ruins.

STRATEGY Begin learning the KEY LANGUAGE by copying the sentences in Greek onto a piece ofpaper in any order.Then copy the sentences translated into English, again in any order.Match the Greek sentences with their English equivalents. Do this several times.

7.3 OVER TO YOU Use the new language you have learnt.Antoni is from Nafplio, a beautiful historical townin the South of Greece. In the region, there is a castle and the ancient theatre ofEpidaurus.Ask him:

α Where are you from? What’s it like?γ What is there to see in the region?

Imagine what Antoni replies.

7.4 STRATEGIES If you don’t know a particular Greek word, try replacing it with a phrase or word thatyou do know. For example, try matching the words and phrases from columns A and Bon the page opposite.

7.5 VOCABULARY Another useful hint for learning vocabulary is to write each Greek word or phrase youdon’t yet know on separate slips of paper, and mix them up.Write the English meaning ofeach Greek word or phrase you’ve used on other slips of paper. Practise matching up theGreek words with their English meanings as quickly as you can.

7.6 LOOKING AHEAD As you know, if you are aware of the topic in advance, you can help your understandingof a situation by anticipating what you are going to hear.This is especially true if it’s asubject you know something about. Match up each item in box A, opposite, with a phrasefrom box B that could be used to describe it.


7.7 NOW I UNDERSTAND Answer these questions while you listen.The photos opposite give some clues.

a When the receptionist has taken Petro’s name, what does she ask him to do next?

b What places of interest in Athens does Niko first mention?

c What does the receptionist ask Eleni for?

d What does Niko say about the area around Athens?

e What does Eleni say about Kavala?

f What does Antoni say about Nafplio?

g Mention four things you can see in the area around Nafplio.

h What, according to Petro, is there to see in Crete?

7.8 GOT IT? In the course of the story, Niko,Antoni and Eleni use certain words in connection withcertain things.Which word or phrase from B opposite do they use to describe the itemsin A?

8.1 DELPHI Eleni hires a car. Niko and Antoni accompany her to the ancient town of Delphi onMount Parnassos, where they have a picnic.

In this unit you can:– learn how to hire a car;– revise what you’ve learned in units 1-7.

In Greece, you’ll find networks of all the main car hire firms, such as Hertz,Avis, Europcarand Budget, and the procedure for hiring is much the same as anywhere else. Speed limitsare 50 km/h in built-up areas, and generally 80 km/h elsewhere. On motorways, speedlimits increase to 100-120 km/h depending on the condition of the road.The bloodalcohol limit is 80mg.

8.2 KEY LANGUAGE I’d like to hire a car, please.Which category of car would you like? (The) B category.

For how many days? For two (days). From the 5th to the 6th of May.*

(What’s) your name, please?(What’s) your address, please?(Can I see) your driving licence/your identity card or your passport,please(?)(Can I have) your credit card, please(?)

Here is my driving licence/my identity card/my passport.…and my credit card.* Notice the diaeresis ¨ on top of ί in Μαΐ�υ, which indicates that the vowel combination αι is pronouncedas separate vowels (a+i rather than e).The diaeresis is used with the vowel combinations αϊ, εϊ, �ϊ, �ϋ, but it’snot necessary when there is a tonic accent on the first vowel (e.g. Μάι�ς, May).

STRATEGY You’ll learn the KEY LANGUAGE more easily if you illustrate each phrase with a sketch andwrite the corresponding Greek word beside it.

Practise the KEY LANGUAGE. On the opposite page is a list of things that Eleni is asked for,or about. Number them in the order you hear them.

8.3 OVER TO YOU Now use the words you have learnt. Look at the illustrations opposite, choose wordsand phrases from the KEY LANGUAGE and say:

α that you’d like to hire a car � that it’s for two days γ ‘(the) B category’.

8.4 STRATEGIES In previous units, you have learned that a) if you anticipate what you might expect tohear or say, in a given context, you will find understanding and speaking easier; b) someGreek words sound like English ones; c) visual clues can help understanding; d) you canoften guess the meaning of words you don’t know; e) there are certain rules which helpto work out what words mean; f) it’s useful to use gesture and facial expression toconvey or underline your message; g) you can replace or describe words that you don’tknow with words that you do know.

Can you anticipate the language you would need if you had to hire a car? Prepare adialogue in Greek, using as many of the strategies above as possible. Check against thedialogue opposite.

8.5 VOCABULARY

On the page opposite there are extra panels of vocabulary for the days of the week andthe months of the year.

To help you learn the vocabulary of this unit, make a list of the Greek words you don’tyet know, writing the English meaning under each one. Cover up your list with a slip ofpaper and then reveal each of the Greek words one at a time. Check with the English forthe meaning.Then move your paper up the list, in the opposite direction, looking at theEnglish first.

8.6 LOOKING AHEAD The KEY LANGUAGE will have given you an idea what is going to happen in this unit. Crossout the lines of dialogue on the opposite page which you would not expect to hear inthe car-hire office.


8.7 NOW I UNDERSTAND As you listen, answer the following questions.As always, if you can’t answer a particularquestion the first time you listen, replay the story and try again.The photos on theopposite page give some clues.

a What does the car-hire employee first ask Eleni? b How long does Eleni hire the car for? c Eleni produces two documents.What are they? d What does Antoni explain to Eleni? e What compliment does Eleni pay him? f What does Niko say about the weather? g What does Eleni ask Niko as they arrive at Delphi? h What does Niko like about Paris? i How well does he speak French?

8.8 GOT IT? You are now used to listening carefully to make sure you understand what is being said.Look at the information on the opposite page and decide:α Which of these is Eleni’s true address? � Which of these is the right way to Delphi?

Now listen to the language you’ve learned being used by Niko, Eleni and Antoni as theyembark on their excursion to Delphi.


8.10 PRACTISE Read the transcript on the page opposite several times.Then cover up the opposite page, look at the dialogue in the car-hire office above andsee how well you can remember the Greek version.

8.11 GRAMMAR To refer to a verb in Greek we normally use the present form with εγώ (I).You’ll alsofind this form listed in a dictionary and, as we have already said, in the present it alwaysends in –ω (action verbs), or –μαι (verbs describing a state).• The present endings for the second person singular and plural (you)

usually become –εις and –ετε (action) or –σαι and –στε (state) respectively.• For a third person (he, she or it), it usually becomes –ει or –ται.• For the first person plural (we), it usually becomes –�υμε or –μαστε.• For the third person plural (they), it usually becomes –�υν or –νται.Write the missing verb endings in the phrases opposite.

8.12 LISTEN AGAIN Listen to these extracts from the story.When you reach the points at which you wouldexpect to hear the Greek for the following, say it.

α Good morning. I’d like to hire a car. γ We’re here. Do you see?

� Here it is.And my credit card. δ Hello, Mr Kazakos!

PART C:TEST YOURSELF To prepare for the test, it would be a good idea to revise units 1-8 thoroughly.A quick revision will help you to use the language you have learned, particularly on howto hire a car. Use the techniques you’ve learned (repeating after and with the speakers).

8.13 At the car-hire office: play the role of someone wanting to hire a car.The employee’s partof the dialogue is on the opposite page.

� Say good morning.You’d like to hire a car.δ Say ‘category B’.στ Say ‘for six days’.η Give your name.ι Say no, you’re English.You live in Kent.ι� Say it’s a picturesque area.ιδ Say there are hills and rivers.

Regroup the letters in the four lines opposite to form four sentences. Say the sentencesout loud, to give directions from Athens to Delphi.



Niko It’s magnificent! Antoni Fantastic!

Eleni Oh, it’s very beautiful! ... Is your familywith you in Paris?

Niko Yes.We rent a furnished flat.Antoni Are rents high in Paris?
