Time for some revision! Turn to page 20 of the Ελληνικά Τώρα (Greek Now) 1 workbook and practice giving directions to the θέατρο, μουσείο, στάση, and φαρμακείο from the perspectives of the different people shown in the picture. (Not sure how to give directions? The two keywords you need are at the top of the table below!)
Then, complete the exercises on page 21. You should be able to complete exercise Ξ after the practice you did on page 20. Exercise Ο makes use of a list of adverbs, including τώρα (now) which you may recognize from Ελληνικά Τώρα.
Some of the other words might not be as familiar though. Look over the opposites listed below, and look up any other words you don’t understand in the glossary at the back of the book.
| αριστερά left | δεξιά right |
| πολύ much | λίγο few |
| κοντά near | μακριά far |
| εδώ here | εκεί there |
| καλά well | άσηκμα badly |
The Online Greek Tutor has a great video on ‘here’ (εδώ) and ‘there’ (εκεί) in Greek. See if you can also pick up the words κοντά and μακριά:
Once you’ve finished all of the exercises for the chapter in the workbook, turn to page 55 of the Ελληνικά Τώρα (Greek Now) 1+1 textbook, and see how many of the questions you can answer.
Revision
Pages 22-25 of the Ελληνικά Τώρα (Greek Now) 1 workbook will give you a chance to revise everything you’ve learned in chapters 1-3. Make sure to check your answers in the back of the workbook.
Don’t worry if there are quite a few questions you’re uncertain of. Take a look back at the exercises you completed a few short weeks ago, and consider how much you’ve progressed!
