Synopsis
Lesson Four focuses on the seventeen Greek consonants. The
consonants may be best learned by understanding their relationship
to one another in several ways. Perhaps the most functional
phonetic classification is according to what speech organ (throat,
teeth and lips) used in their pronunciation. In this
lesson, the seventeen Greek consonants are studied and divided into
two broad categories: the nine stops and the twelve continuants.
These two broad categories are again subdivided according to the
nature of the sound and vocal organs used in producing them. Help
in learning to
pronounce Greek phonetically is aided by
thirty-eight MP3 audio links that span this
lesson,
including the eight-page Study Guide
at the conclusion of the lesson.
