Best resources for learning Greek

[atomiczagnut]

I work for a Greek couple that owns an Italian restaurant (kinda strange, I know).  Since they talk to each other in Greek, I've kind of picked up a little bit.  Combine this with knowing a lot of the Greek roots of English words, as well as the Greek alphabet, and I think I'm well on my way to getting pretty good at Greek.

My question is, does anyone know of any really good websites or other resources for learning the Greek language?

You can learn Greek online for FREE at Livemocha.com.  Here's the link: http://www.livemocha.com/learn-greek/aprender-griego

This site offers visitors to learn the Greek language at different levels (beginning and intermediate) and to communicate with native speakers.

You could also check the videos that some Greek and American professors upload on YouTube that can help you learn the basics such as the alphabet or how to introduce yourself quite easily. Just type something similar to "learn greek".

There is also this book available online free of charge.

Although it's is targeted at teenagers aged 12-15, it may be a good start if you are interested in intensive courses of Greek as a foreign language.

It has been approved by the Greek Pedagogical Institute and it's mainly distributed in Greek schools abroad.
