The former title of this video was "2 Easy Steps to Reading NT Greek Aloud"
This video explains how to pronounce the Greek diphthongs (not the Erasmian method).
I apologise for the fairly long pauses from one slide to the next.

The two easy steps to reading NT Greek fluently are:

1) Learn to recite and write the pangram in Matt 5 v. 30.
2) Learn to recite and write Luke 3 v.22 which has all the main "diphthongs".

These two verses contain all the letters of the Greek alphabet and all the main vowel combinations. The video begins with a song to memorise the Greek alphabet. It is an easy way to learn the Greek alphabet. Following the instructions will enable you to read any New Testament (Koine) Greek or Modern Greek text.

Thank you so much for sharing. It's by far the best video I've come across. I appreciate it a lot. It was incredibly helpful to me in understanding the common Greek pronunciation. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I use a Bible software program, open source, in Linux.
Its name is ξίφος. At their website, they offer a small sound byte calling the software "Zheefoss".
I've never heard of Ξ sounding like Zh. Am I missing something?
