Beginning Ancient Greek: A Visual Workbook Kindle Edition

by Fiona McPherson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 10 ratings
See all formats and editions

This highly visual and full-colour workbook takes you, step by step, through the process of
learning the Greek alphabet. It uses several strategies to help learners
achieve mastery quickly and thoroughly. These strategies include:



    • grouping

    • visual mnemonics

    • test questions to help you practice

    • vocabulary lists for reading practice.


    These vocabulary lists appear for each group of letters, so you can practice
    on words that only use the letters you have learned. To make them easier to read
    (and also, beneficially, remember), the words are mostly related to English
    words. Thus you can not only practice your letters, but also pick up some 800 words as well. Where the meaning of the words is less obvious, mnemonic keywords are provided.


    The workbook includes:



      • instruction on learning the individual letters

      • visual and story mnemonics for learning the order of the alphabet

      • targeted vocabulary lists

      • full glossary with word meanings and mnemonics where appropriate

      • a special section of words that provide roots used in English medical
        and scientific vocabulary.

      Fiona McPherson has a PhD in cognitive psychology, from the internationally-regarded Psychology Department at the University of Otago, New Zealand. She has spent the decades since that achievement following the research into how the human brain thinks and learns and remembers, and communicating that knowledge and its practical implications to a lay audience. She has done this through her long-running and extensive websites (www.memory-key.com and www.mempowered.com), and her books. Her guiding principle is that people are more likely to use effective strategies if they understand how and why they work, and know precisely when and when not to use them.

      4.0 out of 5 stars Great help for a slow language learner

      I had purchased more advanced greek books and was quickly getting lost. I realized I needed to take a step back and get a good grasp of the fundamentals. The book is well organized and the study guide is very helpful.

      One star off our to some of the visual cues being awkward. This can make the associated letters difficult to remember.

      Overall, this has been a great help and I am now ready to get back to the grownup books.

      3.0 out of 5 stars I don’t recommend the Kindle version
      Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2024
      Verified Purchase
      I bought the Kindle version and am finding it very difficult to use because there are lots of tests and vocabulary challenges (which are in themselves a very useful aid to learning). However, it is nigh on impossible to find the answers - it would be so much easier to flip back and forth as needed with a physical copy! Also, there are meant to be workbook elements (e.g an opportunity to practice writing the alphabet) which are not included in the Kindle edition. Although there appear to be links to them you just get an error message and the search button just leads to another description of the missing material … it is all very frustrating!
