Okay so after being annoyed for a bit about Ζευς being pronounced as {zefs}, I thought about it for a moment and wondered how the letter "F" can come out of a "U": and remembering that upsilon can also be pronounced as {v} then it wasn't too difficult to see that "F" is simply a soft pronunciation of "V": and after hearing our beautiful presenter pronounce the ευ diphthong I got my confirmation.

In conclusion instead of Ζευς being pronounced {zefs} it's mostly likely {ze-oofs}. And this is because when dealing with these unique sounds over time people blend the sounds and rush through them instead of taking time to properly break them down, and so if you're not paying attention it can throw you off.

I thank you so much for this. I'm a Spanish-speaker trying to learn Greek for reading the New Testament but I'm trying very hard to avoid the Erasmian pronunciation, as it sounds to my ears like an English-speaking American person with a thick accent trying to speak Greek.

I love your teaching. Can you make one video that shows how to draw all the Greek letters - upper and lower case?

So when we use words such as Θεοί, for instance, which I hear a lot in an English context pronounced usually as "They-oy" or "Theo-i"; would it actually be pronounced "Theyee" or something of the like?

Why are all your dipthongs pronunciation different from other professional teachers?

haha great. We've been taught over and over again wrong pronunciations. There's even a scientific ecology journal Oikos (Nordic Society for Ecology) where every single editor pronounces oikos as o-i-kos instead of ikos.
