Note: There is a new version of this book available on https://www.amazon.com/dp/1958312002, which includes an additional chapter.This book has been designed for low intermediate to advanced learners of modern Greek. It can be used for self-study or in the classroom. It is written in everyday language that is actually used in Greece, with realistic dialogs and situations.The stories revolve around a typical Greek family. Each chapter consists of:a text, increasing in complexity as you progress in the booka vocabulary section with the words as they appear in the text and in their original form (e.g. θα φύγουμε = we will leave ― verb φεύγω = I leave/I am leaving)reading-comprehension questions (True or False and multiple choice)grammar and vocabulary exercises to practice what you’ve learned in each textanswers to the exercises.
I bought this book only hesitatingly because there was no Olly Richards "Easy Short Stories" for Greek, and boy was I pleasantly surprised by this gem! This book was clearly written by an experienced language teacher, as it targets exactly the vocabulary and language structures that an upper-beginning / intermediate student wants to work on. And whereas the Olly Richards books feel cookie-cutter and very much like "textbook" language, these short stories feel fairly natural, especially given how straightforward and simple the language is. Each chapter is followed by well-designed, language-focused exercises: cloze (fill in the blank) sentences, comprehension questions, change-singular-to-plural, etc. The formatting / type setting is a bit amateurish, but I presume that has nothing to do with the author, and it doesn't detract from this delightful book anyway. Highly recommended!
