This is a brief audio presentation of some of the Greek words used in the introduction. I've made a number of mistakes and corrected them immediately I could say it is to give the feeling of a live class, which it does, but it also saves time. Future audio lessons will be longer, since in the beginning I shall do the paradigms and vocabulary.

Thank you…quite helpful.
This was very helpful. I’ll try to get more practice with the vowels. I managed to do the exercises in the introduction, though I’m not quite sure about the accent marks yet. I kept putting them one place to the right, so that an accent mark that should have been on the antepenult would be on the penult. I remember having the same problem at first back in 2003 but I eventually got it right and had few problems afterwards. Now it seems like introductory rocket science. Use it or lose it.
