Synopsis

Lesson Seven continues the study of second declension nouns.  Lesson Six laid the foundational basics concerning Greek inflection as it pertained to masculine nouns.  This lesson continues with second declension nouns, examining feminine and neuter nouns.  Because this is the final lesson in second declension nouns, an extensive review is included.  Twenty-seven MP3 audio files span this lesson to guide toward a consistent pronunciation of Greek vowels, consonants and words.  At the conclusion of the lesson, the Study Guide integrates the principles presented in this lesson.
