ALL THE GREEK YOU NEED TO GET
BY WITH CONFIDENCE
Essential travel language
Introduction & Contents
introduction
Get By in Greek is devised specifically for travellers. The 70-minute audio will help
you to get to grips with the basics of spoken Greek, and introduces the most
relevant language you’ll hear when you’re there. Listen to the audio a couple of
times to practise the key phrases and vocabulary, and familiarise yourself with Greek
pronunciation.
This booklet shows the key phrases and vocabulary as they appear on the audio.
In each section there are a couple of short dialogues where you can check out the
language you have heard, with questions to focus your listening. At the end of each
section there is the opportunity to practise what you’ve learned in a guided dialogue,
‘as if you were there’.
