Useful Greek phrases

The accent indicates where the stress should be placed as the word is spoken. The Greek words are spelt phonetically. If you have time learn the Greek alphabet and more of the Greek language. I have found that the best for me is Greek Language and People, A BBC television course in Modern Greek for beginners.
