Speak Greek Instantly with 8 CDs!
Dr. Pimsleur was a language educator for 40 years. He noticed that children have an amazing ability to learn new languages--quickly. That's why there are so many bilingual 5-year olds. Dr. Pimsleur spent his life developing this course to let you, as an adult, learn Modern Greek as easily as a child would. You might not realize it, but you've already learned one language using the Pimsleur approach. Your first language!
The Pimsleur approach is so effective because it traces how people developed language. Before written history, we had oral history. Most people, even kings, couldn't write or read in ancient times. Some people can't even read today. Most language learning systems fail to acknowledge that writing only exists to represent the words we speak. So you should ask yourself, "Why should I learn to read Modern Greek if I can't even speak it?"
The Pimsleur Modern Greek course immediately immerses you in a Modern Greek conversation to help you grasp the syntax or structure of the Modern Greek language. Amazingly, once you understand the syntax, that chaotic, "foreign" sound so common to language learning disappears instantly. You'll start to recognize words and phrases.
Learning a new language is a tremendously rewarding achievement. Once you see how much you've learned in these 16 lessons, we think you'll want to continue with the Comprehensive Pimsleur® Level I Program, which contains an additional 14 units and an Introduction to Reading.
