Greek Language and People is the ideal introduction to the language and culture of Greece. This 256-page course book is designed to accompany the Greek Language and People CDs, which are available to buy separately (9780563519775). As well as teaching the skills necessary to communicate in and understand basic Greek, the course book provides an accessible introduction to the written language, and enables you to read Greek with ease. Dialogues and language notes combine with cultural information, introducing new language in a relevant context, while activities, drawn mainly from authentic Greek sources, allow you to practise new language and reinforce learning. Also included is a useful reference section with two-way glossary and grammar guide. Whether learning at home or in a class, Greek Language and People can help you to reach the equivalent level of a first qualification, such as GCSE.

From George Washington's Mount Vernon to the Kennedy Center, trek through each era of Washington, D.C., for a tour of America's most beloved sites. Join author and Washington insider Alison Fortier as she carefully curates an expedition to our shining city on a hill.
