My wife has been learning Greek for 30+ years and has many books, she says the first 25 years are difficult thereafter it gets very difficult.

Thanks Daniel, my Greek teacher here on Syros has us using a similar book, all in Greek, called Ellinika A. It looks similar to your workbooks (no English and simple drawings). I am in the final ('Champion') phase of Duolingo. But I see now that I am doing classes, and back in Greece, that my pronunciation and grammar need work - poli! People criticise Duolingo but I think it is good for other things - vocabulary, the gameification. When I say the word for milk (gala) or even tea (tsai), people don't understand my pronunciation (being an Australian - I think it might be different for say a Spanish speaker like yourself). I am at the struggling phase that you mentioned! You know what you don't know:)

That's hardly surprising considering that your native language doesn't even belong in the Indo European language family. As a rule, it gets harder the more "distance" there is between the language you're speaking and the language you're learning.

Thank you , I very much appreciate all the greek book's info . I'm viewing from California and wishing i were in greece , my family Iives in Athens . I dream of greece often especially in summer absolutely epic people, music , dance,food . ❤ very much needed video's.

Thanks Daniel. I just ordered all of them.

You should finish Επικοινωνήστε Ελληνικά level 2, and thereafter start and finish level 3. It helped me level up my Greek from A2 to B2 within a year

interesting as always . watching from Wales

Thank you for this video. I teach Greek to adults at the Greek Community of Toronto and I want to suggest extracurricular books for them to study, but I couldn’t find any good ones. Thank you for your recommendations, I’ll send them this video.

Thank you for this. Just exactly the recommendations I need.

καλησπέρα από την εδεσσα !!!

Great video. You are truly helping many people, including me, a naturalized Greek citizen visiting from the US. I love Greece…my favorite place is Nafplion, which I plan to visit before I go back to the States. Perhaps I’ll run into you there. Keep the videos coming and be well my friend…σ’αγαπώ.

I love your background, the tzitzikias song ❤❤❤❤

Hello from California

I know one travel influencer personally , but I would always want to stumble upon another one !

I’m trying so hard using Duolingo.. ughhhhhh so hard! May have to check out some books.. but saying the words! My dad says I’m saying them incorrectly *born and raised in athens* I’ll be spending the entire month of October in athens.. hope I can learn enough to not be rude! ❤❤

Hi I'm watching from New Zealand.

Thanks for your interesting videos. I’ve been having lessons with the Hellenic Centre for three years online. They are a really good organisation.

That's for those who want to learn Greek on the basis of English. But there is also huge amount of excellent books in French, Italian, Spanish, German also....

I learn through LingQ. There is no better way as you lean with content you like so you are less likely to get bored. I read crime stories off of KZread and other things and you get so used to the word orders and such so there's no real need to learn grammar.

Great video. Went to Greek language school attached to a Greek Orthodox Church here in Montreal. Had to stop as it was expensive, inaccessible in the city and the teacher was not the best. Maybe resume our studies in Greece. Your Greek is better than mine and I'm Greek!!! Off subject: we are both retired and thinking of Nafplio. Is the local hospital good?

from thessaloniki. good job !

Book #5 has now an English version but only for level 1

You carried all them books up to Acronafplia in the heat of the summer re malaka? Don't try to tell me it's not hot and it's early in the morning, I can hear all the ciccadas. Don't need a gym subscription if you are in Nafplio! PS. WE LOVE YOU TOO ♥

you know you can hear the cicadas all day long right?! When it's summer you can hear them even early in the morning. Just saying :)

I am right next to Ne Kios

Hello Daniel and Friends… I’m watching from Florida right now down here on a little vacation… But I live in the New York area. You know I’m looking for a very nice Greek girlfriend… I think we could do a little dating thing here.😉

Buy whatever books you like, as long as they are not published before 2012 (when it really dawned to people that there was a spelling reform since DECADES and they should print accordingly). Be prepared for inaccuracies, personal preferences in vocabulary (I've never heard some of the expressions they use or I've heard them in a local/idiomatic context, unsuitable for A1/A2 and also some slang is either too outdated or with a very limited "audience", probably the authors use it within their social circle or locality) and most of them don't follow the "school" guidelines (e.g. they use the German order for cases, while school books use a different order, or they consider the neutral and masculine pronouns as "the same thing" and don't mention all three, and several other details like that) . The most important thing is to make really sure you are buying books for learning Modern Greek (Δημοτική) and not any of the pre-70s versions.
