As you work through this course, you will become increasingly aware of Greek loanwords in English although sometimes, you have to stretch your imagination and bend the odd pronunciation rule to spot them. Here are some first examples of loan words: problem, music, politics, idea, programme, system. Have a go at the similar or different exercises in the Practice section of each unit. There are at least ten words in these exercises throughout this book that test your ability to make associations between what you already know and what you are learning. These associations can sometimes be difficult to detect: for example the words μúθος (myth), μέτρο (metre) and πείροδςο (period) are easily detected once you know the Greek alphabet, but the word βιβλίο (book) does not carry an immediate association, although bibliography does.
