I used Judith's Greek Script Hacking course to help me learn the full Greek alphabet up to the point that I was confidently able to read, write and even pronounce new words out loud the first time I saw them, in a much shorter time than I ever expected. It actually became natural before I knew it. I highly recommend this! -- Benny Lewis, bestselling author of Language Hacking and Fluent in 3 Months I turned to Judith Meyer's methodology after having lived in Athens for 3 months last year and failing to even learn a fraction of the Greek alphabet via various online resources. I only wish that I had read this book before my time spent there! Very quickly without even realising it I could easily recognise the once so foreign symbols and could even start to pronounce the Greek text that I was reading. I would highly recommend this book as the best resource for anyone wanting to learn Greek! - Katie H * Amazon * Simple to follow and very helpful in getting to grips with Greek alphabet; finished it in 3 eager to pursue evening sessions. - William Park * Amazon *More details
