I've read somewhere that Biblical Greek pronunciations have English orientations due to the Greek letters similar appearance to English and being taught to English speaking Bible students. I expect the modern pronunciations may have been more similar to the original Bible writing and so far believe that the Modern Greek pronunciations maybe more useful yet am trying to learn both. Consider: Learn The Modern Greek Alphabet th-cam.com/video/RQF6dZZqX5I/w-d-xo.html
Unfortunately the pronunciation is not even close.The letter T is pronounced "taf" - certainly not "ta-ou" and the letter Y (ypsilon) is pronounced "ou" only when written after an omikron (O).In any other case, it is pronounced like the letter E in English. Regards
Howdy Anne, I know you mean well in trying to teach people Greek, how ever your pronunciation is incorrect. For example the letter (B) is pronounced (Vee-tah ) not (Bay-ta). (V) as in the name Victor NOT (B) in boy. Take care kid...
Howdy again Anne I'm sure your professor meant well however, consider the fact if you visit Greece and interact with the Greek people and take the time to listen to the way they pronounce their language you will appreciate what I have brought to light to you. It would behoove you to have a change of heart and correct your pronunciation and refrain from teaching kids and fellow adults the incorrect way of speaking Greek, it will only bring embarrassment to you from Greek people that know how to pronounce Greek the proper way. Here is a video you can reference to get you started on your path to pronouncing the Greek Alphabet correct. th-cam.com/video/28yu1PFc438/w-d-xo.html Good luck kid,
people saying it is wrong likely referring to more modern greek and not from Bible times
