I've come across a CD book (22 CDs) called 'Koine Greek New Testament'. It's read by Spiros Zodhiates and available through www.christianbooks.com (books - CD). Seems promising but it says, 'using modern Greek pronunciation'. What is 'modern Greek pronunciation' of Koine Greek?

This is just a fancy term created at the Theological Colleges designed to replace Real Greek pronunciation - in other words, expect to hear some non-native Greek attempt to pronounce Greek words in a non-Greek way :-)

Anyone for some mouth stretching exercises??? OOOoooooooWWwwwwwwEeeeeeeee

Like I said, this is the third and final time ... I am happy to teach over "MSN" using microphone and earphones - it costs nothing more than your internet connection ...
