When we learn from a book, we dont have the benefit of hearing it, as opposed to hearing a word spoken naturally out loud. Hearing it out loud makes it so much easier to naturally internalize and pick up the correct accent. Today I still have words I mispronounce because I didn't always read the accents correctly.

I found the video really useful. thanks.

i did not know i wanted this, but i needed it!

Incredibly interesting video and very useful summary on such a challenging topic!

The PICH for learning ancient Greek was great, but I soon realised I had made a GRAVE mistake, for the STRESS of learning this language is immensely and you won't be SMOOTH BREATHING while trying to understand Thucydides, you really need to.... Cyrcumflex your shelf or something idk I run out of puns

Enhorabuena por el vídeo.

2:35 That's not true and I don't know why everyone says that when they try to explain accents in tonal languages but it's simply false. I guess it's perhaps an easy way out for the instructor to explain it as it is harder to explain the difference in pitch on the stressed syllables in atonal languages (is that the correct term?) compared with the difference in pitch on stressed syllables in tonal languages. The truth is that in the latter, the difference in pitch varies, i.e. it can change up, down, up and down or in many other ways, whereas in the former it just always goes up and then drops, perhaps accompanied by slight increase in volume sometimes for added emphasis but only very slighter. We are certainly not yelling on the stressed syllable while talking in a normal volume on the other syllables. In fact you can try that, i.e. just raising the volume of the stressed syllable while keeping the pitch constant on every syllable, and you'll instantly realize that this is not how we stress syllables (in atonal languages).

Ω Τσιχων διδασκαλου, Τι κανις? Ευχαριστω προς την μαθητων ημεραν. Εμαθου καθολου εν τον ημεραν. Καλισπερα και ασπαζω, Αριους Ιαελις.

So, no Lysistrata?

Good content, but your way of explaining is kind of long-winded, and your vocal fry is annoying. Thanks, anyway.

αί in καί is a diphthong and has been pronounced ε for over 2000 years. So, your pronounciation is wrong.

not δεύρο. ( the-i-ro) but thevro. this is the right pronunciation. you must pronouns the letter υ not like ύψιλον but like β. try to say δέβρο. this is the right pronunciation. but it writes with υ

I don’t know much about Ancient Greek so correct me if I’m wrong but it’s kinda weird and anachronistic you read the letters with their modern Greek value but do pitch accent? for σαφω̃ς you say [sa'foːs](i dont really hear the pitch change youre doing that clearly thats why i didnt write it) instead of what i think would be attic [s̠a.pʰɔː˨˥˨s̠] Other than that a fun and informative watch :3
