Learning Greek takes non-native speakers an incredibly long time. Many learners begin but fail to make the progress they wish. Greek seems to have thousands of long words all needing to be memorised and recalled instantly.
But is there another way?
This book is part of the Learn Greek Doodle-Bonds approach to Modern Greek vocabulary development, for those with some knowledge of simple Greek and the Greek alphabet. It is designed to help enrich your language and widen your Greek vocabulary without relying solely on memorisation.
Learn Greek Doodle-Bonds takes advantage of the fact that our brains remember people and their characters
better than abstract words. So each prefix is presented as a prefix character. By getting to know the prefix characters, their names and personalities, you will easily learn the meanings of the Greek prefixes shown throughout this book.
Prefix Characters Book 1 contains more than 60 of the most important Modern Greek prefixes to help you understand and begin to break words down for yourself.
By recognising the component parts of a Greek word you can often learn a whole range of other related words, rather than just one. The brain prefers to create links
rather than to memorise individual items separately so this approach removes the need for rote memorisation. You will soon learn to recognise or guess meanings of words that you have never met before!
