Re: Animal Sounds Vocabulary List?
I don't teach Greek, but some thoughts if they're helpful: The following link has modern Greek onomatopoeia; good to see that _brekekekex_ from Aristophanes _The Frogs_ is still current. Perhaps you could try searching LSJ for the modern terms and finding examples that way? - http://www.eleceng.adel...

Facebook style photo tagging would be ideal, with quizzes based on images running a close second.

Re: Living Koine vs. The Rest of the World
One of the common readability formulas (e.g. based on syllable counts) could be implemented for Koine; that might catch grammatical complexity as well if it correlates with increasing word length.
