This week we launched into pronouns with in full force, and saw how they and our other topics fit into lyrics from popular Greek songs. I really enjoyed listening and reading through the songs. I have always had trouble understanding Greek songs because I will catch one word and then get swept away by the beat. This practice was fun and helped me get used to the words that commonly get elided or sound differently than in prose.
Hopefully, by hearing words in different contexts, prose versus more poetic, I can start to understand idioms more gracefully. After translating and singing a few pages of Greek, my goal is to have to improve my voice quality more than my pronunciations.
