How to Learn the Basics of the Greek Language

Learning the basics of any language is crucial before a trip to a different country. Not only is this useful but it's also fun to know a few catch phrases in the native language. To learn basic Greek, you can find audio and visual aids at affordable prices, if not free of charge. You can also create your own method if you feel it will help you learn faster. The keys of learning a language, though, are always repetition and practice.
