This program teaches basic conversational phrases with structures that can be adapted to fit different situations. It also tackles one of the main challenges in learning a foreign language: building the confidence to speak it. Talk More’s recording function allows you to compare your accent with that of a native speaker. Perfect for building a learner’s spoken confidence. If English isn’t your first language, don’t worry! You can learn Greek from any of over 45 languages – in a single program!
Will it work for me?
In this program you’ll start putting together complete sentences, as opposed to learning individual bits of vocabulary. We’ve selected a range of phrases you commonly need abroad, including many that you might find essential: for example, “I’d like to pay by credit card”, “My camera has been stolen”, and “Where is the pharmacy?” Topics cover greetings, shops and restaurants, getting around, hotels, phone calls, emergencies, leisure and the basic vocabulary of business and technology.

How does it work?
Watch and learn! See and hear how to speak Greek by watching video footage of native speakers. Build confidence on a computer. Before testing your new speaking skills in the real world, record yourself, then play back to compare your pronunciation with that of a native speaker. (Note that we don’t use electronic voice analysis: the human ear is usually much more accurate.) Play interactive games. The comprehension quiz prompts you to react to real life situations, while a challenging recording quiz tests your knowledge and pronunciation. You earn points for every game you play. High scorers can go on to win bronze, silver and gold awards, which you can print out as a record of achievement. You can learn on the move. Carry on learning in the airport lounge or on the ferry. Just print out the phrasebook sheets included in the program and take them with you.
