Accents and pronunciation.

Post by Labqi »

Hi all

I know that there have been a few posts on learning greek accents which I have found very useful, but what I specifically am looking for is examples of 'correct' (supposedly?) pronunciation, that takes into account the accents. Does anyone know of any recordings of this available online?

best,

L

Stefan Hagel is by far the best I'm aware of. There's no way of course to know if it's "correct", but as far as I know it's a very educated guess.

Some samples by him:

Even better, he also sings Homer with lyre and all. Very impressive!

You'll find many threads on Textkit on the subject.
