Σιγά-σιγά - Bit by Bit: A basic-vocabulary builder for Greek learners (translation & glossary) - Paperback

by George Karampalis (Author), Limeng Jing (Editor)

Σιγά-σιγά is a soul-baring story of rediscovery in Greek, for those starting and revisiting the language. This is the first entry in Greek short stories for beginners A1-A2, a series of bilingual graded readers for adult learners of Modern Greek.

The book is divided into three parts:

Part 1: All chapters followed by a glossary of words marked marked bold in the main story.

Part 2: Repeats the story and features an English translation after each paragraph.

Part 3: An alphabetised compilation of all glossaries, with usage explanations.

The entire story is in present tense ('to be' and 'to have' can be in past tense). This is how it works for each language level:

A1 See words in context, and how basic sentences are structured. The glossary is there for you when things get tough; this book might be challenging.

A2 Remember words and grammar you already know or half-know, and understand them better. You will keep seeing them in the book anyway.

B1 Explore new ways of articulating your thoughts in Greek, and be surprised by how much you can do with very basic language.

B2 Feel good about yourself. You know everything.
