Description
About the Book. The Greek Travel Phrasebook & Dictionary gives you Greek expressions for questions, orders and small talk along the way. Lonely Planet uses English as the support language and bases the content on situations a traveller is likely to encounter. The book suits anyone who wants to try out some local words and gain a linguistic way into everyday life and culture in Greece.
Contents. The content covers pronunciation, phonetics and basic grammar, along with transport, accommodation and directions. Menu words support ordering food and asking about dietary needs, while greetings and conversation starters give you a starting point for meeting people. You will also find expressions for asking for help. A two-way dictionary with around 3,500 words offers plenty of lookup options, and a pull-out card gathers quick phrases that are easy to find again.
Who is this book suitable for? The phrasebook suits anyone who can read English explanations and wants to use a little Greek while travelling. You can pick out a few greetings before departure and get familiar with the chapters you expect to need. Along the way, you can look up a specific topic or use the card as a quick reminder. Ready-made expressions make it possible to get started with a simple sentence, while the dictionary lets you find more words. The book is also a gift idea for a traveller who enjoys learning a bit of the language of the place they are visiting.
From inspiration to your own plan. Browse through the relevant topics before departure, so you know where to find the expressions you need. Choose a few phrases and give yourself time to get familiar with the language material. You can practise together with your travel companions and return to the book when a specific situation comes up. Short entries let you learn a little at a time and build on what you already remember. A brief greeting can be a good starting point when you want to approach someone along the way.
