Who this book is for:
Αλλού is for A0-A1 adult learners interested in delving into Modern Greek, and understanding how sentences with complex notions can be put together in simple, natural language. This will enable you to structure your own thoughts and start expressing yourself in a meaningful way, even at a very basic level of grammar and vocabulary.
The book is divided into four parts:
Part 1 ends stories with a glossary of words marked as links in the main text. You can tap on them to view their definition in a pop-up footnote window.
Part 2 features a paragraph-to-paragraph translation for each story, with the addition of all-capital Greek text to help you become visually familiar with it.
Part 3 is an alphabetised compilation of all glossaries.
Part 4 is a grammar for complete beginners – a detailed explanation of all grammatical phenomena featured in the stories.
And on that note... --All the grammar you need to read this book is at the end--.
No pronunciation guide is included, so it's a good idea to make sure you're able to read Greek first. It’s best if you’ve had 5 to 10 hours of Greek learning before trying to read this. (And 5 to 10 hours of sleep, ideally.) This can be time you’ve spent on lessons, language-learning apps, or other types of self-learning.
This book will not help you order food at the taverna. It is NOT a phrasebook, a textbook, a tourist-Greek guide, a survival-Greek handbook... Wait... So... what was this book again?
